Architecture

  • View - Activity/Fragment with UI-specific logics only.
  • ViewModel - It keeps the logic away from View layer, provides data streams for UI and handle user interactions. It servers as a link between the Model and the View.
  • Model - This layer is responsible for the abstraction of the data sources. Model and ViewModel work together to get and save the data.
  • Repository -The repository is a mediator between the different data sources. ViewModel simply request data from the repository.
