ChatGPT Android demonstrates OpenAI's ChatGPT on Android with Stream Chat SDK for Compose.

The purpose of this repository is to demonstrate below:

• Demonstrates ChatGPT's unofficial APIs.
• Implementing entire UI elements with Jetpack Compose.
• Implementation of Android architecture components with Jetpack libraries such as Hilt and AppStartup.
• Performing background tasks with Kotlin Coroutines.
• Integrating chat systems with Stream Chat SDK for real-time event handling.

🏛️ Architecture

ChatGPT Android follows the Google's official architecture guidance.

ChatGPT Android was built with Guide to app architecture, so it would be a great sample to show how the architecture works in real-world projects.

The overall architecture is composed of two layers; UI Layer and the data layer. Each layer has dedicated components and they each have different responsibilities. The arrow means the component has a dependency on the target component following its direction.

Architecture Overview

Each layer has different responsibilities below. Basically, they follow unidirectional event/data flow.

UI Layer

The UI Layer consists of UI elements like buttons, menus, tabs that could interact with users and ViewModel that holds app states and restores data when configuration changes.

Data Layer

The data Layer consists of repositories, which include business logic, such as querying data from the local database and requesting remote data from the network. It is implemented as an offline-first source of business logic and follows the single source of truth principle.

Modularization

ChatGPT Android adopted modularization strategies below:

• Reusability: Modulizing reusable codes properly enable opportunities for code sharing and limits code accessibility in other modules at the same time.

• Parallel Building: Each module can be run in parallel and it reduces the build time.

• Decentralized focusing: Each developer team can assign their dedicated module and they can focus on their own modules.
