Architecture Overview

This application follows the MVVM architecture, which consists of:

• Model: Represents the data layer of the application. In this app, Contact.java is the model class.
• View: Represents the UI layer. In this app, MainActivity.java and the associated XML layout files define the view.
• ViewModel: Acts as a bridge between the Model and the View. ContactViewModel.java handles data preparation for the UI and responds to user interactions.
