Android Development Guidelines

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose Fundamentals

• Use Kotlin 1.9+ with modern language features
• Prefer Jetpack Compose for new UI components
• Use Compose state management (@State, @Remember, @ViewModel)
• Leverage Kotlin Coroutines for asynchronous operations
• Use Kotlin Flow for reactive streams
• Follow Kotlin coding conventions

Android Architecture Patterns

• MVVM: Use with ViewModel and LiveData/StateFlow
• Clean Architecture: Separate data, domain, and presentation layers
• Repository Pattern: Abstract data sources
• Implement dependency injection with Hilt
• Separate business logic from UI code
• Use interfaces for abstraction and testing
