What is Android architecture?
Android's architecture comprises a well-structured software stack tailored to accommodate the diverse demands of mobile devices. The Android software stack encompasses a Linux Kernel, an assortment of C/C++ libraries, a robust application framework, a runtime environment, and various applications. These components synergize to deliver a versatile and efficient platform, facilitating smooth app development and optimal performance for Android devices.
Which architecture is best for Android app development?
There is no one-size-fits-all architecture for Android app development, as the best architecture largely depends on the size, complexity, and requirements of the app being developed.

MVVM and MVP are suitable for small to medium-sized apps, while Clean Architecture is a more robust solution for large-scale apps.

These patterns provide various levels of separation of concerns, making it easier to maintain, test, and scale apps based on their specific requirements and complexity.
