Answer from AI
In the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture, the View component is responsible for displaying data and interacting with the user. Its roles include:
- Data display: The View subscribes to changes in the ViewModel and updates the UI accordingly.
- Handling user input: The View passes user actions (clicks, text input, etc.) to the ViewModel.
- Minimal logic: The View does not contain business logic; it only displays data and reacts to events.
For example, in Android, the View can be an Activity or Fragment that observes LiveData from the ViewModel and updates the interface upon changes.
This separation makes it easier to test logic (in the ViewModel) and simplifies UI maintenance.
