Implemented things

• Repository is written in Kotlin and is based on MVVM architectural pattern
• Dependency Injection is implemented using Dagger2
• Data binding using Data Binding
• Unit testing is achieved with JUnit, Mockito, PowerMockito and MockWebServer

Application Architecture

• Application uses a single-activity architecture, while using the Navigation component for managing fragment transactions.
• Android architecture components, along with Kotlin Coroutines for a robust design which is highly testable and maintainable.
• Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) for separation of development of user interface and its flow of data models.
• SOLID design principles are followed which separates the app into three modules app, domain and data to make the design more understandable, flexible and maintainable in terms of product sustainability.
