- UI
The entire application follows layers architecture.
It contains components that strictly fulfill their functions, as well as parts that are not part of them.
The architecture of interaction between presentation and lower layers in both activities is similar.
All interaction occurs through the ViewModel of each Activity / Fragment, which then receives data from the repositories and notifies the view of the change.
Repositories, in turn, interact with the data services and broadcast receivers layer
