Model/View/ViewModel is a variation of Model/View/Controller (MVC) that is tailored for modern UI development platforms where the View is the responsibility of a designer rather than a classic developer. The designer is generally a more graphical, artistic focused person, and does less classic coding than a traditional developer.
MVVM is a variation of Martin Fowler's Presentation Model design pattern. MVVM abstracts a view's state and behavior in the same way, but a Presentation Model abstracts a view (creates a view model) in a manner not dependent on a specific user-interface platform.

- navigation component + fragment
- presentetion layer(per page) = fragment + view model
- reactive ui = live data + data binding
- data layer = repositpory + local(room) + remote
- datalayer one shot operations(no listener or data streams)

Today we’re releasing Beta 4 with the final Android Q APIs and official SDK -- the time is now to get your apps ready for the final release later in the summer!
You can get Beta 4 today on Pixel devices by enrolling here. If you're already enrolled and received the Beta 3 on your Pixel device, you'll automatically get the update to Beta 4. Partners participating in the Android Q Beta program will also be updating their devices to Beta 4 over the coming weeks.
Update 2 (6/6/19 @ 9:25 AM ET): Google has halted the Android Q Beta 4 OTA update due to bootlooping issues.
Update 2: OTA Halted
Numerous Pixel owners reported that their devices were bootlooping after installing the Android Q Beta 4 OTA update. It appeared to mostly affect Pixel 2 XL owners, but a few Pixel 3 owners also had the problem. A factory reset fixed things, but this is obviously a problem. Google has officially halted the OTA on all Pixel phones as they investigate the situation.
We’re aware of an issue with Android Q Beta 4 related to installing updates. We’ve temporarily paused Beta 4 OTA updates to all Pixel devices as we investigate the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience, and will provide an update once the issue is resolved.
