Simple MVVM Example

This is a simple example of MVVM architecture making use of:

  • Kotlin
  • RxAndroid
  • LiveData
  • DataBinding
  • ViewModel
  • Dagger2

It has a base package to reduce boilerplate code and allow programer to save time and code activities faster and more legible.

This diagram shows the main project's structure

The architecture works as follow:

  • UI elements (Activities, Fragments...) observes ViewModel's data through LiveData and notify ViewModel with user's actions.
  • ViewModel request data to domain layer and observe changes making use of Rx (or Coroutines) then notify UI layer by posting LiveData. ViewModels are injected using a factory.
  • The Navigator layer keeps a reference to UI layer (Activity) and ViewModel just request changes based on business logic. To avoid memory leaks we use a weak reference and for this reason this layer uses singleton pattern
  • All this structure is injected by Dagger 2 but we could achieve the same using other DI just like Koin.
