Tech-stack

This project uses below libraries.

Dependencies

• Jetpack:
  • Android KTX - provide concise, idiomatic Kotlin to Jetpack and Android platform APIs.
  • AndroidX - major improvement to the original Android Support Library, which is no longer maintained.
  • Lifecycle - perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
  • LiveData - lifecycle-aware, meaning it respects the lifecycle of other app components, such as activities, fragments, or services.

  • Room - persistence library provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
  • ViewModel - designed to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way. The ViewModel class allows data to survive configuration changes such as screen rotations.
• Coroutines - managing background threads with simplified code and reducing needs for callbacks.
• Retrofit - type-safe HTTP client.
• Koin - Depndency Injection

Test dependencies

• Espresso - to write concise, beautiful, and reliable Android UI tests
• JUnit - a simple framework to write repeatable tests. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.
• Mockito - Tasty mocking framework for unit tests
• AndroidX - the androidx test library provides an extensive framework for testing Android apps.
