Mastering to Structure Multi-Module Android Applications: A Comprehensive Guide
In this codelab, you’ll master the art of structuring multi-module Android apps to create scalable, maintainable, and efficient applications. We’ll start by diving into the fundamentals of multi-module architecture and guide you through configuring Gradle for complex projects. You’ll learn how to create, organize, and manage different types of modules, such as feature, library, and base modules, while effectively handling dependencies across them using Gradle. We'll cover practical implementation strategies, including setting up Jetpack Compose navigation within a multi-module environment and sharing Gradle build logic through the Convention plugin. Additionally, you’ll explore best practices for maintaining clean and organized codebases and learn how to ensure your project remains scalable, testable, and easy to maintain over time. By the end of this codelab, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills to enhance your Android app development process, enabling you to build robust, modular architectures that can grow and adapt to future needs.
