## What it is
A collection of Android project templates from Google featuring a layered architecture (Compose, Room, Hilt, ViewModel, Coroutines/Flow) ready for greenfield projects or quick experiments. Templates include a base single-module version and a multimodule variant, with a customizer script for package name and app setup.

## Use cases
- start a new android app with a recommended layered architecture
- bootstrap a jetpack compose project with room and hilt already wired up
- create a multimodule android project template
- quickly scaffold an android app for an experiment or prototype
- get a starting project following the official android architecture guide
- set up an android project with unit and ui tests included

## When to choose
- you are starting a greenfield Android app and want Google's recommended architecture out of the box
- you want Compose, Room, Hilt, and Navigation preconfigured with version catalogs
- you need a quick, working Android project for experiments rather than a tutorial sample

## When to avoid
- you want educational code samples to learn Android architecture from - use architecture-samples or Now in Android instead
- your project requires a custom architecture that differs significantly from the layered template
- you are not using Android Studio or the latest stable toolchain

- artifact type: learning-resource
