The project is written in Kotlin following MVI/MVVM design pattern. The app consumes the Search API of ITunes store for searching content like movies, books, podcasts, music, music videos, audiobooks, and TV shows within ITunes Store.
The project used MVI and Repository design pattern approach. State in app is defined by user's action which is called intent (not the android Intent class) which the ViewModel will get and decide the state to be reflected to the View.
- Hilt - For dependency injection and lessens setup required with Dagger.
- Room - Used for data caching as this is included already in android Jetpack.
- Retrofit - API http network requests.
- OkHttp - Use OkHttp for logging interceptor of http request for debugging purposes.
- Moshi - For serialization from JSON. Used Moshi instead of GSON as Moshi is much faster than GSON and smaller than GSON which means produced apk build is smaller.
- Navigation Component - For handling fragments and simplify app's navigation between screens.
- Timber - For better logging and handling of logs for crash reporting.
- Glide - For fast and efficient image loading to views.
- Material Design - For implementing Google's material design ui across views in the app.
