Clean Architecture is a software engineering development architecture created by Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin). The essence of this architecture is separation of concern. So that we can read the code in the project more easily.
In addition, the main idea of using Clean Architecture is to produce a system that is Independent of Framework, Testable, Independent of UI, Independent of Database, and Independent of External. This is an overview to represent Clean Architecture suggested by Robert C. Martin:
In a typical android project it is divided into 3 layers like this:
- Presentation Layer contains the UI and Presenter / ViewModel which will control the views. This UI will depend heavily on the Use Case.
- Domain Layer contains Entities, Use Case, Repository Interface. This is the most core layer and is associated with business processes.
- Data Layer contains Repository Implementation and DataSource which can be Local DataSource (database) and Remote DataSource (network).
Modularization is a technique of breaking an Android project into sections called modules. With modularization we will get a lot of advantages over implementing the monolith (only one part) in our project.
- Kotlin based, Coroutines + Flow for asynchronous.
- Koin for dependency injection.
- Jetpack Libraries
- LiveData - notify domain layer data to views.
- ViewModel - UI related data holder, lifecycle aware.
- Room Persistence - construct a database using the abstract layer.
- Architecture
- MVVM Architecture (View - DataBinding - ViewModel - Model)
- Repository pattern
- Glide - loading images.
- Retrofit2 & OkHttp3 - construct the REST APIs and paging network data.
- Gson - JSON representation.
- Timber - logging.
- Material-Components - Material design components.
- Leak Canary - memory leak detection library for Android.
- Security
- SQLCipher - protecting data.
- ProGuard - disguise the code so that it is difficult to read by others after reverse engineering.
- Certificate Pinning - secure connection from mobile to server.
- Lottie - displays animation in JSON format.
- Shimmer - create a shimmer effect on the application.
