Architecture Samples
This project is a collection of reference implementations demonstrating recommended patterns for organizing code and managing data flow in Android applications. It provides structural examples of layered architecture, separating code into presentation, domain, and data layers to decouple business logic from data sources.
The repository includes specific samples for implementing declarative user interfaces that automatically update their visual state based on underlying data changes. It further demonstrates how to manage object lifetimes and component dependencies to reduce boilerplate and simplify modular testing.
The project covers a broad range of architectural capabilities, including the implementation of single-activity navigation, repository-based data access, and reactive data streams. It also provides a testing strategy guide for executing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests across emulators and physical devices.
Features
- Android Architectures - Provides reference implementations of structural patterns and modularization strategies for organizing Android application codebases.
- Layered Architectures - Provides a reference implementation of a layered architecture separating presentation, domain, and data concerns.
- Repository Patterns - Uses a repository-based data access pattern to separate the presentation layer from local and remote data sources.
- Data Access Patterns - Employs the repository pattern to separate domain logic from persistence layers for local and remote data.
- State-Driven Data Flow Architectures - Constructs views as functions of state that automatically recompose when the underlying data stream changes.
- Android Dependency Management - Demonstrates specialized dependency injection implementations for managing object lifetimes within the Android platform.
- Dependency Injection Frameworks - Implements inversion of control to manage object lifetimes and component dependencies for improved modularity.
- Dependency Injection - Decouples software components by injecting dependencies to simplify modular testing and object lifecycle management.
- Application Architecture Patterns - Provides reference implementations of high-level structural patterns for organizing Android application layers and data flow.
- Declarative UI Paradigms - Demonstrates a programming model where the interface state is described and automatically reconciled by the system.
- Declarative UI Toolkits - Demonstrates the use of toolkits that synchronize application state with UI elements through reactive data-binding.
- Reactive Data Bindings - Implements asynchronous flows that automatically synchronize the user interface with underlying data changes.
- Reactive UI Frameworks - Builds reactive user interfaces that automatically update their visual state based on state changes.
- Reactive User Interfaces - Syncs the user interface state with underlying data streams using asynchronous operations to keep displays current.
- Single-Activity Architectures - Implements a single-activity navigation model centering the application on one entry point.
