Simple API Android App

A beginner-friendly Android application built with Jetpack Compose. This app demonstrates:

• Modern Android UI with Jetpack Compose
• API calls using Retrofit
• JSON parsing with Moshi
• MVVM architecture with ViewModel
• Asynchronous programming with Kotlin Coroutines
• State management with Kotlin Flows

Architecture

The app follows the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture pattern:

• Model: Data and business logic (Repository, API Service)
• View: UI components (Compose screens)
• ViewModel: Manages UI state and business logic

Features

• Fetches data from JSONPlaceholder API
• Displays items in a LazyColumn (Compose's RecyclerView equivalent)
• Handles loading, empty, and error states
• Uses Material Design 3 components

Dependencies

• Jetpack Compose for UI
• Retrofit for API calls
• Moshi for JSON parsing
• Kotlin Coroutines and Flow for async operations
• ViewModel for state management
