The application developed using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architectural pattern, which allows for the separation of concerns and easy maintenance of the codebase.
- Model: Includes both the communication logic for interacting with the server and the logic for handling data from the server.
- View: Android UI, layouts, and user interface elements.
- ViewModel: Handles the preparation of data from the Model for the UI and contains UI-related logic.
