Healthy Times uses Android Jetpack libraries for its functioning. Below are some of the major architecture components used:
- Single Activity Architecture using Navigation Library
- Follows MVVM pattern for data flow using ViewModels
- Dagger for dependency injection
- Room DB for persistence
- Kotlin Coroutines (Flow and Async) for async processing and data fetching
- Retrofit for Networking
- Material Components
- Clean Architecture for overall code structure
- Using Clean Architecture testing becomes very focussed for each layer ie. UI, Data and Domain.
