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.

A singleton class can have multiple access points for resources.



A singleton class can provide instance control by limiting the number of objects created in a class, ensuring all the classes use the same instance.

There’s no memory wastage because there’s no unnecessary creation of objects, and only one instance is created, saving space.

There’s flexibility in the instantiation process because only one instance is created. Therefore, it’s easier to change the process of instantiation.
