Modern Android Development

" summary

Kotlin is now dominant (over 70% of top apps), Android uses Jetpack components—ViewModel, LiveData, Room—with Retrofit/OkHttp for networking and Hilt/Dagger for DI; examples include a working Room-with-a-View app, a Retrofit-backed Mars real-estate demo, and the full Sunflower sample, all demonstrating coroutines and Flow for background work. RecyclerView complexity is called out as a real pain, and Jetpack Compose is in late beta as the likely next shift.
