Jetpack Android Starter is a production-ready template for modern Android development built on Jetpack Compose and clean architecture principles. It provides a comprehensive foundation with feature modules for authentication, home, profile, and settings, integrated with Firebase for authentication, Firestore, and Crashlytics. The architecture follows a two-layer UI/Data pattern with Repository pattern, Hilt dependency injection, Room for local storage, DataStore for preferences, and WorkManager for background synchronization. UI is built with Compose Material 3, featuring custom reusable components and type-safe navigation using Kotlin Serialization. The template includes CI/CD via GitHub Actions, automated dependency updates, documentation generation, and performance optimizations like baseline profiles. It demonstrates strong engineering practices with clear separation of concerns, testable architecture, and reusable patterns that solve common Android development challenges.
This repository is a GitHub template for bootstrapping Kotlin Android projects with a modern, opinionated build setup. It provides a multi-module structure (app, library-android, library-kotlin, library-compose) with pre-configured static analysis via detekt, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, and publishing to Maven Central. The codebase demonstrates best practices for Gradle Kotlin DSL, version catalogs, and precompiled script plugins. The sample modules include a simple factorial calculator to illustrate cross-module dependencies and testing patterns (unit, instrumentation, and Compose UI tests). While the template is not a production application itself, it serves as a solid foundation for new Android projects, emphasizing code quality and automation from the start.
