Welcome to the **Koin Tutorial series**! In this part, we’re focusing on **Designing the UI** while using **Koin Dependency Injection** in a clean **MVVM architecture**. Whether you’re a beginner or already familiar with Koin, this tutorial will help you connect your dependency-injected ViewModels to your Android UI components the clean way.
In modern Android development, **separation of concerns** is key — and this is where **MVVM + Koin** shine. You’ll learn how to bind your ViewModel to your UI using Koin, observe LiveData for real-time updates, and keep your code modular, testable, and easy to maintain.

### What’s Covered in This Video:
Setting up the UI layout using XML (or Jetpack Compose if applicable)
Injecting your ViewModel using Koin in an Activity or Fragment
Observing LiveData or StateFlow from the ViewModel
Updating UI reactively based on ViewModel data
Best practices for keeping your UI clean and responsive
---
### Prerequisites:
- Kotlin-based Android project
- Koin setup with modules and Application class configured
- Basic knowledge of ViewModel and LiveData or StateFlow
- Previous part of this Koin series (DI setup) recommended

### Quick Code Snippet:
```kotlin
// Inside your Fragment or Activity
private val viewModel: MainViewModel by viewModel()
override fun onViewCreated(view: View, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState)
viewModel.userData.observe(viewLifecycleOwner) { user -
binding.usernameTextView.text = user.name
binding.emailTextView.text = user.email
}
viewModel.getUserData()
}
```
Your `MainViewModel` might look like:
```kotlin
class MainViewModel(private val userRepository: UserRepository) : ViewModel() {
val userData = MutableLiveDataUser()
fun getUserData() {
viewModelScope.launch {
val user = userRepository.fetchUser()
userData.postValue(user)
}
}
}
```
---
### Best Practices:
- Always observe LiveData with the correct lifecycle (e.g., `viewLifecycleOwner` in Fragments).
- Keep your UI logic separate from business logic — ViewModel should handle data.
- Use DataBinding or ViewBinding to cleanly connect UI elements.
- For Jetpack Compose users, inject the ViewModel using `val viewModel: MainViewModel = getViewModel()`.
