This Pokedex Pokémon app is a project that incorporates the latest Android technologies recommended by Google, such as Multi-Module Architecture and Jetpack Compose, the new standard for building UI. It also utilizes important technologies like Room Database, KSP, Hilt for dependency injection, the new Shared Element Transition, and the latest Navigation with Type Safety.
The programming language is the Kotlin, it is a
modern, JVM-based programming language that is concise, safe, and interoperable with Java.
Kotlin Coroutines is used for asynchronous
tasks.
Kotlin KTX is a collection of Kotlin extensions that
offer more concise and expressive code for working with Android APIs and libraries.
The UI is build using Jetpack Compose.
For Navigation between screens is use
the New Navigation Type Safety.
For Animation and Navigation from the main screen to details screen is use the
new Shared Element Transition. (Shared Element Transition - Article, Shared Element Transition - Article)
Retrofit is responsible for making requests and retrieving
data from the remote server. (Repository)
Room Database is responsible for saving
the retrieved data from the remote server, querying data from the local database, and supporting
offline functionality.
Palette is used to
retrieve the color from the image; in our case, we are using the Pokémon color to paint the linear
indicator with the same color.
KSP ("Kotlin Symbol Processing") is a tool for
efficient annotation processing in Kotlin, providing faster code generation and symbol manipulation
compared to KAPT. Repository
Coil for Jetpack Compose is a library that it is
responsible for loading the images
asynchronous. (Coil Documentation, Repository)
Hilt Dependencies Injection
is an Android library that simplifies dependency injection by using annotations to automatically
manage and provide dependencies across components, built on top of
Dagger. (Documentation)
MVVM with repository is an
architecture where the Repository manages data sources (e.g., network, database), the ViewModel
processes the data for the UI, and the View displays the UI, ensuring a clear separation of
concerns.
UI State
to initial, loading, loaded and error.
R8 enabled, is a code shrinker and obfuscator for
Android that optimizes and reduces the size of APKs by removing unused code and resources, while
also obfuscating the remaining code to improve security.
The percentage for showing the skills of each Pokémon is calculated using
the PercentageWithAnimation
built by NicosNicolaou16.
This module contains the UI components of the app, including the list of dynamic items and the details screen. It serves as a feature module, which means additional features can be added in the future.
