Android Kotlin Development

This one sets you up with modern Android development using Kotlin, MVVM architecture, and Jetpack Compose for declarative UI. You get patterns for Retrofit API calls, Room for local storage, and proper ViewModel implementation with StateFlow for reactive state management. The reference guides cover the full stack from data models through to Compose UI components. It's opinionated in the right ways, pushing you toward coroutines for async work and Hilt for dependency injection while steering you away from common pitfalls like storing tokens in SharedPreferences or ignoring lifecycle management. Solid starting point if you're building native Android apps and want to skip the boilerplate setup decisions.

Overview

Build robust native Android applications using Kotlin with modern architecture patterns, Jetpack libraries, and Compose for declarative UI.

When to Use

Creating native Android applications with best practices
Using Kotlin for type-safe development
Implementing MVVM architecture with Jetpack
Building modern UIs with Jetpack Compose
Integrating with Android platform APIs

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// Models
data class User(
  val id: String,
  val name: String,
  val email: String,
  val avatarUrl: String? = null
)

data class Item(
  val id: String,
  val title: String,
  val description: String,
  val imageUrl: String? = null,
  val price: Double
)

// API Service with Retrofit
interface ApiService {
  @GET("/users/{id}")
  suspend fun getUser(@Path("id") userId: String): User
