### News Feed

Provides a feed to current world events and other important news:

Live TV:

Project Structure:

DBWeather utilizes a modular style of project structure, which divides the project into Modules based on Features and Layers of the Application's Architecture. Such modules include:

app

Front end View implementations and Android Framework Classes. Presenters and Contracts for the frond end are defined in separate modules.

dbweathercommon:

Global high level Interfaces and Utilities.

dbweatherdata:

Backend implementations to local and remote Datasources. Keeping them in a separate module increases modularity and separation of concerns.

dbweatherdomain:

Contains Entities based on the Problem Domain, and high level contracts which define the repositories implemented in the data module.

dbweathernews:

Contains logic and contracts which define the front end of the News Feed.

dbweatherlives:

Contains logic and contracts which define the front end of the Live TV features.

dbweatherweather:

Contains logic and contracts which define the front end of the Weather feature.

Project Architecture

DBWeather utilizes a highly modular Clean Architecture which is based on ideas from multiple styles of Architecture, including MVP, MVVM. The goal of these principles is to encourage:

Decoupling/Separation of Concerns by dividing Presentation, Domain, and Data logic/contracts from their respective interfaces. This allows different modules of the project to be changed, without necessitating changes in other modules.
High Legibility due to proper separation of concerns, which leads to descriptive and unambiguous names (Weather, News, etc.).

Tools and APIs:

DBWeather uses a wide array of industry standard APIs in places where it makes sense to use them. Such APIs include (but not limited to):

Dagger 2 for Dependency Injection
Android's AAC (Room) for Data Persistence
Retrofit 2 + OKHttp for Network IO
RxJava 2 for concurrency and event logic
