🧩 Technical Challenges & Solutions

RecyclerView item selection Implemented a custom item-selection mechanism for predictable behavior across list updates.

Automatic backup using WorkManager Set up periodic work with constraints and carefully handled SDK-level behavior differences.

Storage access across Android versions Handled scoped storage and platform quirks for saving and restoring backup files reliably.

UI state management with Kotlin Flow Used SharedFlow + sealed UI states (UILoading, UISuccess, UIError) for predictable and testable UI updates.
