Selecting an architecture pattern is an important decision for Android developers who want to build applications that are easy to maintain and expand.

With many architecture patterns available, it’s common for developers and employers to have strong preferences. However, following a specific pattern without understanding all the options can limit a team’s ability to choose the most suitable approach for their project.

This article explores various architecture patterns for Android development, including MVC, MVP, MVVM, MVI, and Redux, focusing on how they can be implemented using Kotlin/Jetpack Compose. (Actually, this is for the preparation of my following job interviews. 🙂)
