Book Description

With Android Jetpack libraries, you can Android build and Android design high-quality, robust Android apps that have an improved Android architecture and work consistently across different Android versions and Android devices. This book will help you understand how Android Jetpack allows Android developers to follow Android best practices and Android architectural patterns when building Android apps while also eliminating Android boilerplate code.

Android Developers working with Android and Kotlin will be able to put their knowledge to work with this condensed practical guide to building Android apps with the most popular Android Jetpack libraries, including Jetpack Compose, ViewModel, Hilt, Room, Paging, Lifecycle, and Navigation. You'll get to grips with relevant Android libraries and Android architectural patterns, including popular Android libraries in the Android ecosystem such as Retrofit, Coroutines, and Flow while building modern applications with real-world data.

By the end of this Android app development book, you'll have learned how to leverage Jetpack libraries and your knowledge of Android architectural concepts for building, designing, and Android testing robust Android applications for various use cases.

What you will learn

Integrate popular Android Jetpack libraries such as Android Compose, Android ViewModel, Android Hilt, and Android Navigation into real Android apps with Kotlin
Apply modern Android app architecture concepts such as Android MVVM, Android dependency injection, and Android clean architecture
Explore Android libraries such as Android Retrofit, Android Coroutines, and Android Flow
Integrate Compose with the rest of the Jetpack libraries or other popular Android libraries
