Architecture

• Backend APIs are called using kotlin-coroutines (flow, suspend)
• Retrofit is used for fetching data and parsing API responses
• UI is updated using Livedata and Data-binding

Multi modular project structure

This project aims for showcasing a multi modular architecture based on 2 concepts: Libraries and Features

• Features contains all user facing functionality (e.g. splash, home)
• Libraries are shared modules that help the building of features (e.g. base, core, navigation, networking, resources)

Navigation

• Between Activities: To launch activity from different feature, action name is used in intent.
• Between Fragments: Navigation graph is created to move between fragments.

To run this project:

You'll need minimum android studio arctic fox 2020.3.1
