Hello, fellow developers!
After finishing my college exams, I’m thrilled to be back on my Android development journey. Today, I took another step forward by delving into the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) Architecture, Inheritance, Interface, and Repository Pattern.
*A Challenging Start 🧗♂️

Initially, today’s topics seemed quite daunting. Sir Denis Panjuta, our ever-patient instructor, guided us through the intricacies of MVVM Architecture using a Counter project, where the increment and decrement functions displayed results on the screen. Despite his excellent teaching, I found myself struggling to grasp the concepts at first.
Turning the Corner 🚀
However, after some dedicated practice and thoroughly reading the documentation on MVVM, I felt a wave of confidence. The more I immersed myself in understanding the architecture, the clearer things became. It’s amazing how practice and self-research can turn confusion into clarity.
Understanding MVVM Architecture 📚
Let’s break down MVVM:
Model: This represents the application's data and business logic. It manages the data, ensuring it's presented in a structured way.
View: The user interface of the application. This is what the users interact with.
ViewModel: Acts as a bridge between the Model and the View. It handles the presentation logic and updates the View whenever the data (Model) changes.
By separating concerns, MVVM makes an application easier to manage, test, and scale. It promotes a clean architecture, helping developers create a more maintainable codebase.
Key Learnings
I learned that new concepts, like MVVM, are initially challenging. But those complexities start to unravel with persistent practice and deep dives into documentation. The project exercises and the self-led research boosted my understanding and confidence significantly.
Happy Coding & New Year 🎉
To all my fellow learners, keep pushing through the tough parts. Practice, practice, and more practice is the key. Happy coding, and a Happy New Year to everyone! Let’s continue to grow and learn together.
