Below is a list of dependencies used in your Android app along with the reasons for their inclusion:
-
androidx.core:core-ktx,androidx.appcompat:appcompat,com.google.android.material:material,androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout: These libraries provide essential building blocks for Android UI development, ensuring consistent behavior and appearance across different Android versions and devices. -
androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx: This library provides ViewModel extensions for Kotlin, making it easier to manage UI-related data across configuration changes and lifecycle events.
junit:junit,androidx.test.ext:junit,androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core: These libraries are essential for writing unit tests and UI tests to ensure the quality and correctness of your app.
org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core,org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-android,org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-jdk8: Coroutines simplify asynchronous programming, making it more readable and manageable. They are crucial for performing network requests and other background tasks without blocking the UI thread.
com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit,com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson,com.squareup.moshi:moshi-kotlin: These libraries facilitate network communication by providing a simple and efficient way to define and consume APIs. Retrofit handles the network requests, while Moshi (or Gson) converts JSON responses to Kotlin objects.
com.google.dagger:hilt-android,androidx.hilt:hilt-navigation-compose,com.google.dagger:hilt-android-compiler: Dagger Hilt simplifies dependency injection by generating code to manage and provide dependencies throughout your app. Hilt's integration with navigation and Compose makes dependency injection seamless.
androidx.compose:compose-bom,androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose,androidx.compose.runtime:runtime-livedata,androidx.compose.ui:ui,androidx.compose.foundation:foundation,io.coil-kt:coil-compose,androidx.navigation:navigation-compose,androidx.compose.material:material: These libraries constitute Jetpack Compose, a modern UI toolkit that simplifies UI development by using a declarative syntax. These libraries provide tools for creating responsive and dynamic UIs, handling navigation, and integrating Material Design.
androidx.compose.material3:material3: Material Design 3 (MD3) extends Material Design principles with new components and features. This library allows you to implement the latest Material Design guidelines in your app's UI.
androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4,androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest: These libraries provide tools for writing UI tests for your Jetpack Compose components, ensuring that your UI behaves correctly across different scenarios.
The selected dependencies contribute to various aspects of your app's development, including UI creation, navigation, networking, testing, and dependency injection. Each dependency enhances the development process and ensures that your app is well-designed, functional, and maintainable.
