This is a sample project that presents a modern, 2020 approach to Android application development with MVVM design pattern and eventually up to date tech-stack.
The goal of the project is to demonstrate modern Android application Architecture that is modular, scalable, maintainable, and testable. This application may look quite simple, but it has all of these small details that will set the rock-solid foundation for the larger app suitable for bigger teams and long application lifecycle.
This project is being maintained to match current industry standards.
This project brings to table set of best practices, tools, and solutions:
- 100% Kotlin
- Model-View-ViewModel
- Android Jetpack
- A single-activity architecture (Coming soon) (Navigation component)
- Reactive UI
- CI pipeline (Coming soon) (GitHub Actions)
- Unit Testing (Coming soon)
- Dependency Injection
- Material design
Min API level is set to 21, so the presented approach is suitable for over
94% of devices running Android. This project takes advantage of many
popular libraries and tools of the Android ecosystem. Most of the libraries are in the stable version unless there is a
good reason to use non-stable dependency.
