Architecture - Vadym-Popovych24/Template GitHub Wiki

This document describes the high-level architecture of Android applications created using this Template repository. It outlines the fundamental architectural patterns, components, and their relationships that form the structural foundation of applications built with this template. For specific implementation details about individual components, see Component Structure.

The Template repository provides a basic configuration for Android applications following a modern architectural approach. Android applications built with this template adhere to separation of concerns principles while leveraging the Android platform components.

The Template follows several core architectural principles for Android development:

1. Single Activity, Multiple Fragments: The modern approach of using a single activity with multiple fragments for different screens.
2. Separation of Concerns: Clearly separated responsibilities between components.
3. Configuration-Driven: Using Android's declarative configuration files to define application structure.
4. Resource Organization: Structured organization of application resources.

The Template architecture is organized into distinct layers with specific responsibilities:

The Template provides a structured approach to build configuration through Gradle files:

Configuration File	Purpose	Key Components
build.gradle (Project)	Project-level configuration	Plugin repositories, global properties
build.gradle (Module)	Module-level configuration	Dependencies, SDK versions, build types
settings.gradle	Project settings	Module inclusion, repository settings
gradle.properties	Gradle properties	Build performance settings, system properties

An Android application built with this template consists of multiple interconnected components:

The Template supports a standard Android application runtime architecture that manages component lifecycles and interactions:

The Template organizes resources according to Android conventions with the following structure:

The Template implements a modular dependency management approach through the Gradle build system:

The architecture provided by this Template establishes a foundation for developing Android applications with a clean, maintainable structure. It separates concerns across multiple layers, provides clear component organization, and follows Android platform conventions.

The Template's minimal configuration, as indicated in the README, serves as a starting point that can be extended to implement more complex architectural patterns (such as MVVM, Clean Architecture, etc.) as the application requirements evolve.

For detailed information about the individual components that make up this architecture, see Component Structure. For an understanding of the build process, see Build Process.
