Carving the Path to Modularity: A Lobzik Tool Case Study on the ProtonMail Android App

  Lobzik is a Gradle plugin for helping to modularise large Android codebases. It uses Louvain algorithm to analyze class dependencies and rank deduced modules based on their conductance score.

These insightful findings led to the birth of my pet-project: the Lobzik Gradle Plugin. Rather than relying on complex GUI graph toolkits like Gephi or spinning up Jupyter Notebooks filled with NetworkX Python code, you can effortlessly integrate my tool into your build pipeline. Lobzik provides guidance, pointing you towards the optimal path for modularising your project. However, this tool needs some knowledge to operate, so let this article serve as your guide to use this tool correctly.

For the reference project, I've chosen the ProtonMail Android App, which is one of the largest open-source Android apps that has not been modularised yet. With over 50kloc in the main module, it truly represents a monolith that is worth modularising.
