Architecture
- Layers
- Clean Architecture with MVVM: ui, domain and data layers, wired with Hilt.
- State
- ViewModels expose immutable state. Kotlin Flow carries data from the database to the screen.
- Storage
- Room for app data, DataStore for settings. Seeded demo data lets it run without a backend.
- Messaging
- RabbitMQ on CloudAMQP, with separate channels for updates and urgent alerts. A foreground service keeps it connected when the app is closed.
- Location
- Mapbox with live location, and geofences around events.
- Security
- Broker credentials stored in a KeyVault.
- Testing
- Unit tests for use cases. Instrumented tests for DAOs, screens and navigation.
