Android Architecture Component
summary
Covers Android Architecture Components with concrete code examples and practical rules: LiveData is lifecycle-aware and only notifies active observers; ViewModel survives configuration changes so network or DB results aren’t lost; Room maps entities to SQL, enforces compile-time query checks and exposes DAOs; Retrofit is used for remote fetches and a Repository becomes the single source of truth. Warns to avoid holding Context in ViewModel (use AndroidViewModel for safe app context) and shows shared ViewModel between fragments.
