Introduce the MVI architecture and its components, compare it with other Android architectures, and demonstrate a simple app that fetches a list of animals via a button click using MVI.
Understand the Udemy review system and how 5-star ratings and constructive feedback affect course visibility and improvement.
Explore Android architectures, from mvc to mvvm to the modern mvi, and see how this progression structures code for maintainability, scalability, testing, and the ability to switch data sources.
Learn how the MVI architecture uses intents and state in the model to drive a unidirectional, reactive flow from user actions to the view, with built-in state persistence.
Learn MVI architecture as a practical layer atop patterns, introducing intent and state to drive a unidirectional flow from user actions to the view, implemented with Jetpack Compose for Android.
Introduce a simple Android app using MVI architecture with Jetpack Compose, from a single-screen button click to loading, API data, and animal list.
Create a new Android Studio project with an empty compose activity, then add dependencies for lifecycle extensions, retrofit, code routines, and coil, and enable internet permission.
Create an animal data model and a retrofit api with a get animals endpoint; configure retrofit with a json converter and assemble the animal service and repository for view model.
Explore mvi architecture in Android by defining two core elements: an intent for user communication and a sealed main state with idle, loading, data, and error, triggered by a button.
Build a main view model in mvi architecture, using a private animal repo, a user intent channel, and a mutable state to fetch animals with loading and error handling.
Implement the view layer with Jetpack Compose, wiring a main view model and state hoisting to render idle, loading, and animals list screens.
Run the MVI architecture app built with Jetpack Compose, observe the idle state, spinner, and animal data from backend API, and learn the view model with immutable state and intents.
Conclude by applying MVI architecture with Jetpack Compose in day-to-day Android development, encouraging you to try concepts in your apps and decide when to use them.
In this course we discuss the MVI - Model View Intent - architecture for Android development using Jetpack Compose.
The MVI Architecture is the newest iteration in the MVX types or architectures for Android, and brings with it a few different benefits. Most importantly, user interaction traceability, system state predictability and ultimately, improved scalability and testability.
As an Android developer, it's important to stay up to date with the latest developments.
This architecture has distinct advantages and disadvantages that are important to know when deciding whether to implement it in your application. In addition, it’s important to be able to discuss it in an Android interview, where you might be judged on whether or you have heard of it.
In this course, we will go through a theoretical description of Android architectures in general, such as MVC - Model View Controller, MVP - Model View Presenter and MVVM - Model View ViewModel. Finally we will see what the new MVI Architecture brings to the table.
We will also implement the knowledge we learned in a practical application. We will build an app that retrieves a list of animals from a backend api, and displays it in a list in the application. The application will showcase how to use the MVI architecture in a simple case, so that it’s easier to understand.
This is also an excellent project course for someone who wants to sharpen their Android development skills.
So sign up today and let's learn about the MVI architecture as it applies to Android development.
