This app consumes data from the Rick & Morty API. The app is built using Kotlin and encompasses the Clean Architecture principle with MVVM approach and Jetpack libraries.

To setup the project in your machine

• Clone the repo

foo@bar:~$ git clone https://github.com/tirgei/rick-and-morty.git

• Set the BASE_URL in the local.properties file.

You can then import the project to your Android Studio

The app is divided into 3 modules, namely:

• Presentation (app)
• Data
• Domain

This approach is guided by the clean architecture approach which advocates for clear abstraction of the flow of data from the business logic to the presentation framework dealing with displaying data to the user.

The app module contains the UI and navigation frameworks and also deals with instantiation of DI components for the app. DataBinding is used to render data to the UI while the ViewModel provides a link to the data module via the respective UseCase s.

The data module deals with loading data from the sample response server. The app is persisted to local cache using Room.

• cache package - contains classes dealing with offline persistence
• remote package - contains classes dealing with fetching data from the API.

The domain module mainly deals with the model classes which presents the data being used across both the presentation module and the data module.

It defines the UseCase(s) which handle the flow of data from the Repository layer to the ViewModel. It also defines the Repository interfaces which the data module implements to provide data access.

Libraries used in the app include:

• Jetpack - Jetpack Components
  • Navigation
  • ViewModel
  • LiveData
  • DataBinding
  • Room
• Dagger Hilt - Dependency Injection framework
• Coroutines - Framework for asynchronous processing in Kotlin
• Retrofit - Types-safe HTTP client for Android
  • Gson
• Timber - Logging Library
• Glide - Image loading & caching library
• Lottie - Animation library client for Android

For testing, the following libraries are included:

• JUnit - Framework to write tests
• Mockito - Testing mocking framework
• Truth - Assertions library by Google
• Espresso - Framework to write UI tests
