The course focuses on the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture in Android development using Kotlin. The MVVM is widely recommended due to its robustness, scalability, and ease of maintenance. It is a valuable skill to have for building high-performance Android applications.

Firstly, you will learn the basics of MVVM architecture and its advantages over other approaches to Android development. Then, you'll start from scratch and create layouts for a news application. Next, you'll use the Retrofit and OkHttp networking libraries and get to familiarize yourself with APIs. You'll get hands-on experience in storing data locally via the Room library. Finally, you'll be introduced to both the repository and ViewModel patterns, as well as how to work with the Paging library and deliver data to our fragments.

By the time you’re done with the course, you’ll be able to use MVVM in your Android projects, interact with APIs, store data locally, and implement pagination.

## `WebView` in Android

`WebView` is an extension of Android’s View class that is used to render web pages directly in our application without the need to launch the browser, although they don’t offer all of the functions of a browser.

We’ll learn how `WebView` function by creating a basic standalone project that will only take a few minutes to set up and compile.

Simply create a new project and name it `WebView`, then let `gradle` build it. After a successful build, navigate to the `activity_main.xml` file and insert a `WebView` view as shown below. Ascertain that the layout is a `ConstraintLayout`.
