Project Architecture

This project was built using some Android Jetpack components like AndroidX, Lifecycle, LiveData, Material Design just to name a few. The new Kotlin 1.3 was used in order to use stable Coroutines as announced during the KotlinConf 2018. The project also used the Coroutines Android library in order to use the Dispatchers.Main which dispatches a coroutine to be run on main thread. If you want to deep dive into Kotlin Coroutines, I recommend you to go through the Kotlin Coroutines Complete Guide.

The project was built entirely in Kotlin and has two modules:

• core: The common module composed by core classes like data models, networking, coroutines scope.
