1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Build the project using your preferred IDE or command-line tools.

Usage

Once the project has been built successfully, you can run it on an Android device or an emulator.

Libraries

This project makes use of several key libraries:

• Jetpack Compose: For building native UI.
• Navigation Component: To handle in-app navigation.
• JUnit: For unit testing.
• Kotest: An elegant Kotlin test framework.
• MockK: Mocking library for Kotlin.
• Turbine: A test library for Kotlin Flow.

Architecture and Design Patterns

The application is structured following the Clean Architecture principles and includes the following design patterns:

• Clean Architecture: Ensures separation of concerns by dividing the project into layers.
• Repository Pattern: Abstracts the data layer to provide a clean API for data access to the rest of the application.
• MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel): Facilitates a separation between the app's UI logic and the business logic.
• Data Sources: Responsible for handling data operations.

Areas of Improvement

Due to time constraints, the following areas of improvement were identified but not implemented:

• Optimization of the Scheduler Algorithm: Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheduling logic.
• Integration of Dependency Injection (DI): To improve the manageability and scalability of the code.
• Handling Corner Cases in Unit Testing: Strengthening the test suite by covering more edge cases.
• Implementation of Android Catalog Versions: Ensuring compatibility and optimization across different Android versions.
• Improvements in UX/UI: Enhancing the user interface and user experience for better usability and appeal.

These areas represent opportunities for future development and enhancements.
