Movies App

⭐ This project was created to display my tech knowledge in native Android development with Kotlin. More techincal info below.

Movies App is a native Android App made with Kotlin. The app is capable of getting information from a RESTful API, using Retrofit; displaying the data (LiveData) in cards, inside a Recycler View; displaying movies posters with Glide and utilizing Clean Architecture and SOLID patterns to make the code clean, reusable and decoupled.

Tech Stack

• Minimum SDK Level 25

• Kotlin

• Jetpack

  • Live Data: Used for observe data from a reactive point of view. Allowing the data used in UI to be updated automatically.
  • Lifecycle: Observe the Android lifecycle and manipulate the states from the UI after the lifecycle change.
  • ViewModel: Used to retrieve the data from the Model layer and update the data from View.
  • ViewBinding: Manages the XML layout views in Kotlin through a class.
  • Recycler View: Show a more efficient way of displaying a list of Views in the screen, recycling the views for better performance.

• Architecture

  • MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) + Clean Architecture: The first item is used to separate the logic of the app's UI, helping with testability and organization; also, the Clean Architecture helps to build the app's main system with well designed layers, who work with independency, facilitating with the scalability and maintenance.
  • Repository pattern: This pattern help with the data layer´s abstraction

• Libraries

  • Glide: Used for image loading and caching.
  • Retrofit & OkHTTP: Used to make the communication with a RESTful API
  • Koin: Used for Dependency Injection

Third Party APIs

The Movies Database, this API provides all kind of data related to movies and series and it's completely free.
