LatestMovies is a sample Android application, built to demonstrate use of Modern Android development tools.
Application loads Movies data from TMDB API and displays in a list format. The user can tap on the movie which opens the next screen where users can see total like percentage, release date and overview. The application supports the lazy loading of movies so users can have a seamless data loading experience. Users can also search a movie.
The codebase focuses on following key things:
- Single Activity Design
- Clean and Simple Material UI 🎨
- Jetpack Compose UI
- Tests
- Kotlin - First class and official programming language for Android development.
- Coroutines - For asynchronous operation.
- Flow - A cold asynchronous data stream that sequentially emits values and completes normally or with an exception.
- Jetpack Compose UI Toolkit - Modern UI development toolkit.
- Paging 3 - The Paging Library helps you load and display pages of data from a larger dataset from local storage or over the network.
- Compose Navigation - Navigate between composable while taking advantage of the Navigation component’s infrastructure and features.
- Android Architecture Components - Collection of libraries that help you design robust, testable, and maintainable apps.
- ViewModel - Stores UI-related data that isn't destroyed on UI changes.
- Dependency Injection
- Hilt-Dagger - Standard library to incorporate Dagger dependency injection into an Android application.
- Hilt-ViewModel - DI for injecting
ViewModel.
- Retrofit - A type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java.
- Moshi - A modern JSON library for Kotlin and Java.
- Moshi Converter - A Converter which uses Moshi for serialization to and from JSON.
- Material Components for Android - Modular and customizable Material Design UI components for Android.
- Coil - An image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.
- JUnit5 - JUnit 5 is the next generation of JUnit and up-to-date foundation for developer-side testing on the JVM. Focusing on Java 8 and above, as well as enabling many different styles of testing.
- MockK - Mocking library for Kotlin.
This app uses MVVM (Model View View-Model) architecture.
The philosophy behind this architecture is to enable separation of concerns and ultimately a very modular application. This architecture was chosen because it provides the opportunity to separate concerns and implement "SOLID" principles which makes the application more robust and the code base scalable and maintainable.
This due separation of moving parts makes the app more testable with unit tests.
- LeakCanary - LeakCanary is a memory leak detection library for Android.
Used Sonar Lint static code analysis.
