An Android sample application implemented using MVVM pattern, Retrofit2, LiveData, ViewModel, Coroutines, Room, Rx-Java, Navigation Components and Data Binding.

The architecture of this application relies and complies with the following points below:

• A single-activity architecture, using the Navigation Components to manage fragment operations.
• Pattern Model-View-ViewModel(MVVM) which facilitates a separation of development of the graphical user interface.
• Android architecture components which help to keep the application robust, testable, and maintainable.

• Retrofit a REST Client for Android which makes it relatively easy to retrieve and upload JSON (or other structured data) via a REST based webservice.
• ViewModel to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way.
• RxJava used in the the network section of the project to perform network calls asynchronously. RxJava helps in composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences.
• LiveData to handle data in a lifecycle-aware fashion.
• Navigation Component to handle all navigations and also passing of data between destinations.
• Timber - a logger with a small, extensible API which provides utility on top of Android's normal Log class.
• Coroutines used to manage the local storage i.e. writing to and reading from the database. Coroutines help in managing background threads and reduces the need for callbacks.
• Data Binding to declaratively bind UI components in layouts to data sources.
• Room persistence library which provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.

Dog Pool requires a minimum API level of 23. Clone the repository and run.
