A Reusable MVVM API Call Pattern in Jetpack Compose

Building scalable Android apps requires clean architecture—and one of the best ways to manage your UI and logic is by combining MVVM with Jetpack Compose . However, API calls can get messy when not structured properly. In this post, I’ll show you how to build a reusable, clean API call structure using MVVM that works for any screen in your app. We'll use: ViewModel to manage UI-related data Repository for business logic and network State management using mutableStateOf Retrofit for networking This is not tied to any specific screen (like sliders, onboarding, etc.)—you can plug in your own model and API. Why a Reusable Pattern?

Resistance. My dad remembers how even in banks and government offices, there was fear that computers would make humans useless. But what happened? Those who resisted got left behind. Those who learned built new careers. And those who adapted transformed India. Entire cities like Bengal...
