Structure

The project is structured into two different main folders:

• tile - contains all code to provide a tile, which displays the Mars images.
• app - contains all code for networking, business logic and UI for the supporting WearOS app.

By default, a new image is loaded every 24 hours and the task is scheduled via Android WorkManager. The interval can be changed using the WearOS app, which uses Jetpack Compose with specific WearOS components.
