Best practices for implementing Android project structure?

When developing an Android application, following best practices for project structure is essential for maintainability, scalability, and collaboration. A well-organized project enables developers to efficiently navigate and manage files, implement features, and reduce the complexity of the codebase.

Here’s an example of a recommended Android project structure:

MyApplication/ ├── app/ │ ├── build.gradle │ ├── src/ │ │ ├── main/ │ │ │ ├── java/ │ │ │ │ └── com/ │ │ │ │ └── example/ │ │ │ │ └── myapplication/ │ │ │ │ ├── data/ │ │ │ │ │ ├── model/ │ │ │ │ │ └── repository/ │ │ │ │ ├── di/ │ │ │ │ ├── ui/ │ │ │ │ │ ├── activities/ │ │ │ │ │ └── fragments/ │ │ │ │ └── utils/ │ │ │ └── res/ │ │ │ ├── drawable/ │ │ │ ├── layout/ │ │ │ ├── mipmap/ │ │ │ └── values/ │ │ ├── test/ │ │ └── androidTest/ │ └── proguard-rules.pro ├── build.gradle └── settings.gradle

This structure separates different application concerns such as data handling, UI components, dependency injection, and utilities, promoting a cleaner and more modular codebase.
