android-development（安卓开发）

Android Development

Build Android applications following Google's official architecture guidance, as demonstrated in the NowInAndroid reference app.

Quick Reference

Workflow Decision Tree

Creating a new project? → Read modularization.md for project structure → Use templates in assets/templates/

Adding a new feature? → Create feature module with api and impl submodules → Follow patterns in architecture.md

Building UI screens? → Read compose-patterns.md → Create Screen + ViewModel + UiState

Setting up data layer? → Read data layer section in architecture.md → Create Repository + DataSource + DAO

Core Principles

1. Offline-first: Local database is source of truth, sync with remote
2. Unidirectional data flow: Events flow down, data flows up
3. Reactive streams: Use Kotlin Flow for all data exposure
4. Modular by feature: Each feature is self-contained with clear boundaries
5. Testable by design: Use interfaces and test doubles, no mocking libraries

Creating a New Feature

1. Create feature:myfeature:api module with navigation key
2. Create feature:myfeature:impl module with:

- MyFeatureScreen.kt - Composable UI - MyFeatureViewModel.kt - State holder - MyFeatureUiState.kt - Sealed interface for states - MyFeatureNavigation.kt - Navigation setup - MyFeatureModule.kt - Hilt DI module

Standard File Patterns

ViewModel Pattern

@HiltViewModel
class MyFeatureViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val myRepository: MyRepository,
) : ViewModel() {

    val uiState: StateFlow<MyFeatureUiState> = myRepository
        .getData()
        .map { data -> MyFeatureUiState.Success(data) }
        .stateIn(
            scope = viewModelScope,
            started = SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(5_000),
            initialValue = MyFeatureUiState.Loading,
        )

    fun onAction(action: MyFeatureAction) {
        when (action) {
            is MyFeatureAction.ItemClicked -> handleItemClick(action.id)
        }
    }
}

UiState Pattern

sealed interface MyFeatureUiState {
    data object Loading : MyFeatureUiState
    data class Success(val items: List<Item>) : MyFeatureUiState
    data class Error(val message: String) : MyFeatureUiState
}

Screen Pattern

@Composable
internal fun MyFeatureRoute(
    onNavigateToDetail: (String) -> Unit,
    viewModel: MyFeatureViewModel = hiltViewModel(),
) {
    val uiState by viewModel.uiState.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
    MyFeatureScreen(
        uiState = uiState,
        onAction = viewModel::onAction,
        onNavigateToDetail = onNavigateToDetail,
    )
}

@Composable
internal fun MyFeatureScreen(
    uiState: MyFeatureUiState,
    onAction: (MyFeatureAction) -> Unit,
    onNavigateToDetail: (String) -> Unit,
) {
    when (uiState) {
        is MyFeatureUiState.Loading -> LoadingIndicator()
        is MyFeatureUiState.Success -> ContentList(uiState.items, onAction)
        is MyFeatureUiState.Error -> ErrorMessage(uiState.message)
    }
}

Repository Pattern

interface MyRepository {
    fun getData(): Flow<List<MyModel>>
    suspend fun updateItem(id: String, data: MyModel)
}

internal class OfflineFirstMyRepository @Inject constructor(
    private val localDataSource: MyDao,
    private val networkDataSource: MyNetworkApi,
) : MyRepository {

    override fun getData(): Flow<List<MyModel>> =
        localDataSource.getAll().map { entities ->
            entities.map { it.toModel() }
        }

    override suspend fun updateItem(id: String, data: MyModel) {
        localDataSource.upsert(data.toEntity())
    }
}

Key Dependencies

// Gradle version catalog (libs.versions.toml)
[versions]
kotlin = "1.9.x"
compose-bom = "2024.x.x"
hilt = "2.48"
room = "2.6.x"
coroutines = "1.7.x"

[libraries]
androidx-compose-bom = { group = "androidx.compose", name = "compose-bom", version.ref = "compose-bom" }
hilt-android = { group = "com.google.dagger", name = "hilt-android", version.ref = "hilt" }
room-runtime = { group = "androidx.room", name = "room-runtime", version.ref = "room" }

Build Configuration

Use convention plugins in build-logic/ for consistent configuration:

• AndroidApplicationConventionPlugin - App modules
• AndroidLibraryConventionPlugin - Library modules
• AndroidFeatureConventionPlugin - Feature modules
• AndroidComposeConventionPlugin - Compose setup
• AndroidHiltConventionPlugin - Hilt setup

See gradle-setup.md for complete build configuration.
