Technologies used:

  • Retrofit a REST Client for Android.
  • Hilt for dependency injection.
  • ViewModel to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way.
  • LiveData to handle data in a lifecycle-aware fashion.
  • Navigation Component a single-activity architecture to handle all navigation and also passing of data between destinations with SafeArgs plugin.
  • Paging for displaying pages of data from a larger dataset from local storage or over network.
  • Glide for image loading.
  • Coroutines used to manage the local storage i.e. writing to and reading from the database. Coroutines help in managing background threads and reduces the need for callbacks.
  • Room persistence library which provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
