Prayer_App
Prayers times application is a simple application for showing prayers times.

User should be able to view the today’s prayers times and upcoming prayers times for a week, and display a countdown timer for the next prayer time.

Tools
- Kotlin
- View Model – The View Model class is designed to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way.
- Live Data – LiveData is an observable data holder class. Unlike a regular observable, LiveData is lifecycle-aware, meaning it respects the lifecycle of other app components, such as activities, fragments, or services.
- Data Binding – 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.
- Dependency Injection Using Hilt – Hilt is a dependency injection library for Android that reduces the boilerplate of doing manual dependency injection in your project.
- Repository Pattern
- Google gson – For parsing JSON data.
Database
- Room – The Room persistence library provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
Network Calls
- Retrofit – A type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java.
Background tasks
- Kotlin Coroutines – A coroutine is a concurrency design pattern that you can use on Android to simplify code that executes asynchronously.
