- Welcome to BrutalWeatherApp Android application, developed with Modern Android Architecture in mind, Kotlin, and the power of Jetpack Compose. Clean code structure with clear separation of concerns and unidirectional data flow. UI is inspired by the Neubrutalism Style.
This Project Is Built To Demonstrate Usage Of Google's Recommended Android Development Tools - (Coroutines, Hilt, Modern Architecture Components, Udf, Room, Retrofit, Material Components, Accompanist Lib, and version catalog.
The UI is done with simplicity, in the Neobrutalism style, as the focus and the emphasis are placed on robust and clean project architecture.
- Unidirectional Data Flow: Ensuring a consistent and predictable behavior. A robust pattern that simplifies user interactions and data updates.
- Separated Concerns: Each layer has its distinct responsibility, promoting clarity and simplicity.
- Single Source of Truth: All layers rely on one authoritative data source, eliminating inconsistencies.
- Domain Layer: An optional layer that encapsulates all the business logic, making the app robust and efficient, making the app's core functions clear and concise.
- Loose Coupling and DI: Used Dependency Injection pattern ensuring that components are independent yet interconnected, enhancing flexibility.
- OpenWeather forecast endpoint, version 2.5
- You can add your Weather API key in the Constants.kt [YOUR_API_KEY] file in the data/config folder.
- Kotlin - Kotlin is an official programming language for Android development.
- Jetpack Compose - Jetpack Compose is Android’s recommended modern toolkit for building native UI.

Modern, recommended by Google, App architecture with Unidirectional Data Flow.
-
In Android, a repository is typically a producer of UI data that has the user interface (UI) as the consumer that ultimately displays the data. Other times, the UI layer is a producer of user input events and other layers of the hierarchy consume them. Layers in between the producer and consumer usually act as intermediaries that modify the stream of data to adjust it to the requirements of the following layer.

- Neobrutalism, often referred to as "Brutalist Web Design," is a design movement that has its roots in Brutalist architecture. The term "Brutalism" originates from the French word "brut," meaning "raw." In architecture,** Brutalism is characterized by raw, unadorned, and often monolithic concrete structures. ** Similarly, in UI/UX design, Neobrutalism emphasizes rawness, simplicity, and a certain kind of unpolished aesthetic.
- Neubrutalism is more than just a design trend; it's a statement. It challenges the norms of what an app or website should look like and offers a fresh perspective.
- Neubrutalism is "ugly" on purpose, but some may find it beautiful and bold.
