Code refactoring can greatly improve the quality of an Android project in several ways , let take look of them :

Enhancing Readability

Refactoring code helps improve its readability by making it more organized, reducing complexity, and using meaningful names for variables, methods, and classes. This makes it easier for other developers to understand the codebase, reduces the chances of bugs, and enhances collaboration.

Before refactoring:

var a = 5
var b = 10
var c = a * b

After refactoring:

var width = 5
var height = 10
var area = width * height

✨Simplifying Maintenance

Refactoring simplifies code maintenance by breaking down complex code into smaller, more manageable components. It eliminates duplicated code, reduces the number of dependencies, and makes the codebase more modular. This simplification streamlines future updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements, saving time and effort.

Before refactoring:

// Complex method with duplicated code
fun processData(data: String) {
// Code block A
// ...
// Code block B
// ...
// Code block A
// ...
// Code block…
