Clean
Architecture
Android Developer
Clean Architecture:
Clean Architecture in Android is a software design pattern that enhance the
testability, maintainability and Scalability of code.
3 Layers of Clean Architecture:
Presentation Layer - This component is responsible for presenting data to the user
and handling user input
Domain Layer - It contains the business logic and use case implementations.
Data Layer - It includes repositories, data sources, and API clients responsible
for data storage and retrieval.
Presentation Layer:
User interaction: Handles UI elements, user inputs, and navigation.
Dependent on Domain Layer: Interacts with the Domain Layer to execute
business logic and display results.
Key components:
Activities and Fragments: Android UI components for screen layout and
navigation.
Views: UI elements like buttons, text fields, and lists.
ViewModels: Manage UI-related data and handle communication with the
Domain Layer.
Domain Layer:
Heart of the application: Contains the core business logic and rules that
define the problem the app is solving.
Independent: Isolated from external frameworks, UI, and data sources.
Key components:
Entities: Represent real-world concepts and data structures (e.g., User, Product,
Order).
Use Cases: Encapsulate business actions and workflows (e.g.,
FetchProductsUseCase, CheckoutOrderUseCase)
Repositories (interfaces): Abstract interfaces for accessing and managing
data, without exposing implementation details (e.g., ProductRepository,
OrderRepository)
Data Layer:
Data management: Responsible for providing and managing data sources.
Dependent on Domain Layer: Implements the Repository interfaces defined
in the Domain Layer.
Key components:
Data Sources: Databases, network APIs, local storage, or any other data
providers.
Repository Implementations: Concrete classes that interact with data
sources to fetch, save, and manage data
Benefits of Separation:
Maintainability: Changes in one layer don't affect others, making code easier
to understand and modify.
Testability: Each layer can be tested independently, ensuring code
quality and reliability.
Scalability: Layers can be modified or replaced without affecting the overall
architecture.
Reusability: Domain Layer code can be reused in other projects or
platforms.
