Multi-module app architecture?

As I see most of the android app development is moving towards multi-module architecture(similar to microservices). I don’t find good and practical information out on the web. Will you be adding a section or a book for this topic? @mmurphy

I disagree with “most”, but it is becoming more popular.

Yes, if it is needed by something else. For example, if I were to write a book on Kotlin/Multiplatform (KMP), multi-module development is essential (or close to it), so I would demonstrate multi-module KMP projects. Probably what I would do in that case is add a chapter on multi-module development to Elements of Android Jetpack and have the KMP book point readers to that chapter.

It is possible that I might add a chapter on multi-module development to Elements of Android Jetpack independent of any bigger subject needing it, but I have no concrete plans to do so right now. But, it is on my to-do list. :grinning:

Thanks for the suggestion!

Awesome! Thanks for considering it and sharing your thoughts. Excited to see that chapter in future.
