Stepping into Android app development is like embarking on an enchanting journey full of diverse tools, languages, and libraries. In my latest article on Medium, I'm inviting you to join me on this expedition, as I unwrap a sample project, PhotoAlbum, to present the pragmatic use of some cool libraries.
The project is as lightweight as a feather but mighty in its operations. It fetches data from JSONPlaceholder, a handy fake REST API, and neatly organizes the data into albums. Diving into its structure, the project is segregated into Data, Dependency Injection, Domain, UI, and Utility, each having a distinct responsibility.

Isn't Data Binding just fantastic? I've been exploring its possibilities in a recent project, showcasing the most straightforward method of implementation.
Think about when we use findViewById to grab a view reference. Each time, Android does a deep dive through the view hierarchy at runtime to locate the view. If the hierarchy is vast or intricate, this could slow down the app and impact user experience.
Data Binding is the solution to this challenge. It's a neat technique allowing tether a layout to an activity or fragment. The compiler gets to work at compile time, conjuring a binding class that simplifies access to the views, reducing the overhead.
