What is Android Architecture Components?

Android Architecture Components are a collection of libraries that help you design robust, testable, and maintainable apps. They simplify the development process by providing a standardized architecture and best practices. Key components include: LiveData (observable data holder class), ViewModel (manages UI-related data in a lifecycle-conscious way), Room (persistence library providing an abstraction layer over SQLite), Data Binding (declaratively bind UI elements to data sources), Paging (loads data on demand, efficiently displaying large datasets), and Navigation (handles in-app navigation). These components help address common challenges like managing UI lifecycles, data persistence, and UI updates.
