Architecture

You can look at whole project architecture on the diagram below.

Talking about two parts of app - android app and server-side admin panel - they share similar architecture. In the case of mobile application it is MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern that is standard for flexible and expandable Android applications. For server-side admin panel that itself is web application was used MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture pattern which is like a parent for MVVM.
