## &#x1F4D7; **Architecture**

### **Data Binding**
Data Binding Library Part of Android Jetpack. The Data Binding Library is a support library that allows you to bind UI components in your layouts to data sources in your app using a declarative format rather than programmatically.

#### Java and Kotlin

```gradle
android {
    
    dataBinding {
        enabled = true
    }
}
```

<a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/databinding" target="_blank">Release</a> | <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding/" target="_blank">Doc</a> | <a href="https://github.com/zakaria5729/android-dependency-list/blob/master/resources/data-binding.md" target="_blank">Resources</a>

---
<br>

### **Lifecycles**
Most of the app components that are defined in the Android Framework have lifecycles attached to them. Lifecycles are managed by the operating system or the framework code running in your process. They are core to how Android works and your application must respect them.

#### Java
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"

implementation  "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$lifecycle_version"
    annotationProcessor "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycle_version"

// alternately - if using Java8, use the following instead of lifecycle-compiler
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-common-java8:$lifecycle_version"
}
```

#### Kotlin
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"

implementation  "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$lifecycle_version"
    kapt  "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-compiler:$lifecycle_version"
}
```

<a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/lifecycle" target="_blank">Release</a> | <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/lifecycle" target="_blank">Doc</a> | <a href="https://github.com/zakaria5729/android-dependency-list/blob/master/resources/lifecycles.md" target="_blank">Resources</a>

<br>

### **LiveData**
LiveData is part of the Lifecycle library which was designed to help you solve common Android Lifecycle challenges and to make your apps more maintainable and testable. LiveData is a lifecycle-aware observable. LiveData makes it easy to keep what's showing on screen in sync with the data.

#### Java
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"

// ViewModel and LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$lifecycle_version"

// alternatively - just LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata:$lifecycle_version"

// optional - ReactiveStreams support for LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-reactivestreams:$lifecycle_version"

// optional - Test helpers for LiveData
    testImplementation "androidx.arch.core:core-testing:$lifecycle_version"
}
```

#### Kotlin
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"

// ViewModel and LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$lifecycle_version"

// alternatively - just LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata:$lifecycle_version"

// optional - ReactiveStreams support for LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-reactivestreams-ktx:$lifecycle_version"

// optional - Test helpers for LiveData

#### Java
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"

// ViewModel and LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$lifecycle_version"

// alternatively - just ViewModel
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel:$lifecycle_version"
}
```

#### Kotlin
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"

// ViewModel and LiveData
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$lifecycle_version"

// alternatively - just ViewModel
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:$lifecycle_version"
}
```

### **Navigation**
Navigation refers to the interactions that allow users to navigate across, into, and back out from the different pieces of content within your app. Android Jetpack's Navigation component helps you implement navigation, from simple button clicks to more complex patterns, such as app bars and the navigation drawer.

#### Java
```gradle
dependencies {
    def lifecycle_version = "2.0.0"
