Background

• Carizma was conceptualised and first built to explore the capabilities of Media3 ExoPlayer in a Jetpack Compose Setting...
• The idea of incorporating cars and car-related attributes was based on personal preferences and to give the project some personality...
• This project is a public build and is thus a continuous work of art as outlined in the last section of this documentation...

Architecture

• Carizma currently uses packages with sub-packages, each which represent one of the three layers of Android apps, that is the Presentation, Domain, and Data Layers...
• The packages represent the app features, for readability purposes...

Testing

• Testing is yet to be done as the core features are still under construction...

Credits

• Carizma is powered and made possible thanks to the following Tools, Technologies, and Libraries:

1. Jetpack Compose

• It takes advantage of Jetpack Compose to provide a Kotlin-first approach to building the User Interface (UI)...

2. Media3 ExoPlayer

• As the core feature, Audio Playback is fully controlled by Media3 ExoPlayer provided by Google...

3. Gemini API

• To implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) as seen with the "Fun Fact" feature for each car, Carizma utilised the Gemini API by Google...

4. Glide

• Glide has been used to allow for Image Loading over the Internet...

5. Firebase

• For its backend, Carizma fully relies on Firebase using the Android SDK...

6. Timber

• For logging purposes, Timber has been used to aid in the Kotlin-first approach of building...

7. MockK, Robolectric, and JUnit4

• MockK will be used to mock dependencies for testing...
• Robolectric will be used as a Test Runner to simulate an Android environment in order to test Android-specific dependencies...
• JUnit4 will be used to run regular Unit Tests that do not involve any Android-specific dependencies...

Trivia

Future

• Being a public build, Carizma is still under development...
