Music Player App

A modern, Android music player application developed using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. This app showcases the use of a multi-module architecture to separate concerns, making the codebase more maintainable and scalable. It features a rich user interface for browsing and playing music, leveraging the latest in Android development technologies.

Architecture

This project adopts a multi-module architecture, consisting of the following modules:

• App Module: The entry point of the application. It contains the UI components, ViewModels, and the necessary setup for dependency injection using Hilt.
• Domain Module: Contains the use cases and interfaces for the repository layer, enforcing separation of concerns between the data management and UI presentation.
• Data Module: Responsible for data fetching, caching, and exposing data to the rest of the application. It interacts with external data sources like network APIs.

This separation allows for clear boundaries between the application's core logic, its presentation, and data handling, promoting a clean architecture.

Key Libraries

• Jetpack Compose: Used for building the UI, offering a modern, declarative approach to UI development.
• Retrofit: For making network requests to fetch song data from a remote server.
• OkHttp: HTTP client used for network requests, including logging interceptors for debugging.
• Hilt: Provides dependency injection, simplifying the management of dependencies across the application.
• Coil: An image loading library optimized for Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, used for loading song cover images efficiently.
• Kotlin Coroutines and StateFlows: For managing asynchronous tasks and state in a lifecycle-aware manner, enhancing the app's responsiveness and performance.

Kotlin StateFlows

StateFlows are used extensively in this project to manage and emit state updates within ViewModels. They provide a way to represent a state over time, reacting to user interactions and other asynchronous events, such as data loading. This approach ensures that the UI always represents the most current state of the application, enhancing user experience.
