Android Jetpack Compose with Retrofit Room Hilt in Kotlin

Develop an app that displays Mars photos with ViewModel and Repositories with dependency injection and Flow coroutines

What you'll learn
Create an modern Android application with Jetpack Compose in Kotlin
Organize the code with separate layers (ViewModels MVVM, repositories and data layers)
Room database and Retrofit
Understand the basic of Flow and Kotlin coroutine
Start Jetpack composable in a UI tests
Write unit tests
Create animations
Create a theme using Material3 with dark and light modes and custom fonts
Use Hilt for dependency injection (a dagger-based framework)
Create a Bottom Navigation and Navigate between screens
Requirements
Basic knowledge of Kotlin and Android
Description
During this course, we will develop an
Android application
that will display photos taken by the rovers on Mars using
Android Studio
.
This app will use all the latest Jetpack technologies:
Compose
(no more XML)
Hilt
(
Dagger Dependency Injection Framework
)
Room
(Jetpack component to create a lite database)
Retrofit
(REST client)
Coroutines and Flow
(To create asynchronous tasks and request our database)
You also use
ViewModels
with Jetpack to use an
MVVM Repository
architecture.
With this example, you should be able to create an Android App to the industry standard.
Navigation
with Jetpack Compose could be challenging, so we will create a simple example with 4 screens and a
BottomNav
to understand it. A
Scaffold
will be use to create the
BottomNav
.
Your productivity will be improve as
Jetpack Compose
is easier to write and reuse.
You will improve your knowledge of
Kotlin
. If you still use Java, this course is an opportunity to learn.
Compose is a new way to create a UI on Android. It is more concise and reusable. Therefore, it helps to develop faster Android applications.
In this app we will use Jetpack Compose Components from
Materal3
:
Card
LazyColumn
Column
Row
AsyncIamge (from the Coil lib to display an image from a server)
Text
Image
NavHost (to use navigation)
NavigationBar
NavigationBarItem
Box
Scaffold
We will also see how we can use a modifier to define padding.
Who this course is for:
Android developers who wants to learn Jetpack Compose
Android developers who wants to increase code quality
