Technologies

Pokedex demonstrates modern Android development using Jetpack Compose with Hilt, ViewModels based on MVVM architecture.

Architecture

Pokedex was built with MVVM Architecture. MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) is an architectural pattern used in Android development to separate the user interface logic from the business logic. The main components of MVVM are:

1. Model: Represents the data and business logic of the application.
2. View: The user interface that displays the data from the model.
3. ViewModel: A bridge between the Model and the View that prepares the data to be displayed in the View. The ViewModel also handles UI-related tasks such as data validation and error handling.

• Android Studio (installed on a Linux, Mac or Windows machine)
