Project Structure:

DBWeather utilizes a modular style of project structure, which divides the project into Modules based on Features and Layers of the Application's Architecture. Such modules include:

app

Front end View implementations and Android Framework Classes. Presenters and Contracts for the frond end are defined in separate modules.

dbweathercommon:

Global high level Interfaces and Utilities.

dbweatherdata:

Backend implementations to local and remote Datasources. Keeping them in a separate module increases modularity and separation of concerns.

dbweatherdomain:

Contains Entities based on the Problem Domain, and high level contracts which define the repositories implemented in the data module.

dbweathernews:

Contains logic and contracts which define the front end of the News Feed.

dbweatherlives:

Contains logic and contracts which define the front end of the Live TV features.

dbweatherweather:

Contains logic and contracts which define the front end of the Weather feature.

Project Architecture

DBWeather utilizes a highly modular Clean Architecture which is based on ideas from multiple styles of Architecture, including MVP, MVVM. The goal of these principles is to encourage:

• Decoupling/Separation of Concerns by dividing Presentation, Domain, and Data logic/contracts from their respective interfaces. This allows different modules of the project to be changed, without necessitating changes in other modules.
• High Legibility due to proper separation of concerns, which leads to descriptive and unambiguous names (Weather, News, etc.).

Tools and APIs:

DBWeather uses a wide array of industry standard APIs in places where it makes sense to use them. Such APIs include (but not limited to):

• Dagger 2 for Dependency Injection
• Android's AAC (Room) for Data Persistence
• Retrofit 2 + OKHttp for Network IO
• RxJava 2 for concurrency and event logic
