• The UI is not made in Jetpack Compose.
• It is extremely important to point out that the development of a layout with an advanced visual aspect was not taken into account.
• The division of modules did not take into account the scalability factor. In a real project, we could create, for example, a multi repository app, where we could have, for example:
  • A data repository, following the "single source of truth (SSOT)" model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_source_of_truth
  • A separate repository for each feature of the project - for example, the urlshortener module. Such feature modules would, in the end, be incorporated into a parent application via maven/gradle, applying a dependency management strategy - BOM or Bill Of Materials (example at, https://firebase.blog/posts/2020/11/dependency -management-ios-android).
  • A repository for managing SDK infrastructure like firebase.
  • A repository for managing skds for analytics...

Urlshortener is a small Android app that allows you to shorten urls and display a history of recently shortened links to your favorite websites.

This app consists of only one screen, which has:

• A text entry where the user can type the URL of the site to shorten;
• A button that will trigger the action of sending this link to the service;
• A list with the recently shortened links/aliases.

The application is divided into 03 modules:

• app: responsible for running the UI tests (in an eventual deploy, this module - and all the code contained in it - will not will be deployed to production).

• core:

  • Infrastructure for communication with the API (ApiClientBuilder, RequestManager), exceptions for communication with the server, etc...
  • Fragment state management: BaseViewModel, ViewState.

• urlshortener: module responsible for implementing the feature. Contains the canvas (UrlShortenerListFragment) with which the user interacts.
