This commit introduces a generic `Result` sealed interface to represent success, error, and loading states for asynchronous operations. It also updates the home screen UI and ViewModel to utilize this `Result` type for displaying different states. Key changes: - Added `Result.kt` in `core:util` defining the `Result` sealed interface and an `asResult()` Flow extension. - Updated `HomeScreenViewModel` to use `asResult()` and map the `ObserveAirportsUseCase` output to `HomeUiState` (Loading, Success, Error). - Modified `HomeUiState` to be a sealed interface with `Loading`, `Success`, and `Error` subtypes. - Updated `HomeScreen` to handle different `HomeUiState` values and display appropriate UI (Loading text, Error text, or list of airports). - Added `core.util` dependency to `ui:home`. - Updated Moshi and Retrofit Moshi converter dependencies in `model/data/api/build.gradle.kts` and `gradle/libs.versions.toml`. - Added `moshi` and `moshiKotlinCodegen` versions to `gradle/libs.versions.toml`. - Removed `converter-moshi` and added `retrofit-converter-moshi` in `gradle/libs.versions.toml`. - Added `ksp(libs.moshi.kotlin.codegen)` to `model/data/api/build.gradle.kts`. - Added `INTERNET` permission to `app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`. - Updated `ObserveAirportsUseCaseImpl` to use `cacheKey` when setting airports info and to fetch airports for "pl" (lowercase). - Added `.editorconfig` file with Kotlin trailing comma settings.
Android challenge
The task
We would like you to build an app to search for flights.
You are provided with a codebase containing a bit of code so that you can start working on the task faster. It includes some parts of the UI, basic network layer implementation with DTOs & DI setup. Feel free to modify any file you find in the repo – this is only there to help you out.
Please develop an Android app with the following requirements:
Search screen
- User can search for flights with the following criteria:
- Origin & destination station
- Departure date
- Number of adults, teen & children
- Destination can only be selected after picking origin
- All fields need to be filled to make a search
- Number of adults must be greater than 0
Station search screen
- User can select a station from a list
- Stations are grouped by country (country name to be shown before each group)
- User can use search field to filter the airports list
- Screen works with 2 configurations
- Origin selection – all stations are available for selection
- Destination selection – only stations to which we can travel from origin selection are available for selection
Results screen
- A list of results for the specified search criteria is shown
- Show only the crucial information about the trip
- Make sure to handle network errors and empty results

Tip: For test purposes try DUB (Dublin) – STN (London Stansted) route – it has flights every day.
What we expect from you
- Architecture for both domain and UI layer. Please avoid using framework libraries if possible.
- Use
kotlinx.coroutines
library. Do not use Live Data. - Squeeze all the best from Kotlin!
- UI part is not crucial, we would more appreciate better code than great design in this task.
- Creativity - shine in areas you are best!
- Understanding of your solution.
Questions for you
Please submit the answers to the following questions in the README.md file
- How long did you spend on the task?
- Rate from 0-10, how would you assess the complexity of the task? 0 - very trivial, 10 - extremely complex
- If you had more time (or if you were doing it in production) what would you have changed/improved?
- Which parts of the code would you like to highlight?
- In your opinion, which Google library was the best addition to the Android Dev world in the last years?
If you have the need to comment the provided task, we would love to hear that from you 🙂
