Pokedex Compose

Pokedex Compose is an independent re-write of a similar project by the name of Pokedex. I am recreating the UI but I am doing it using Google's new UI framework Jetpack Compose and also adding additional functionalities like a favorite pokemon list and a pokemon search. I am leveraging the MVVM architecture along with Hilt for dependency injection and Retrofit for making API calls. Full library list below.

Tech stack & Open-source libraries

• Minimum SDK level 24

• Kotlin based, Coroutines + Flow for asynchronous.

• Hilt for dependency injection.

• Retrofit2 & OkHttp3 - construct the REST APIs and paging network data.

• JetPack

  • Lifecycle - dispose of observing data when lifecycle state changes.
  • ViewModel - UI related data holder, lifecycle aware.
  • Room Persistence - construct a database using the abstract layer.
  • Compose - Android’s modern toolkit for building native UI.
  • Navigation - a framework for navigating between 'destinations' within an Android application.
  • Paging3 - Android library that makkes it easier to load data gradually and gracefully.

• Architecture

  • MVVM Architecture (Model - View - ViewModel)
  • Repository pattern

• Moshi - A modern JSON library for Kotlin and Java.

• Landscapist - Jetpack Compose image loading library which can fetch and display network images using Glide, Coil, Fresco.

• Accompanist - A group of libraries that aim to supplement Jetpack Compose with features that are commonly required by developers but not yet available.

• Material-Icons - Material design icons for your app.

MAD Score

Architecture

Pokedex Compose is based on MVVM architecture and a repository pattern.

Open API

Pokedex Compose uses the PokeAPI for fetching Pokemon related information via a RESTful API interface.
