Learn Android MVVM architecture components with kotlin
First you need to individually understand why to use Kotlin, MVVM, Dagger, RxJava, Retrofit.
MVVM and Kotlin:

RxJava and RxAndroid:
RxAndroid is an extension to RxJava(Used for handling threads and asynchronous tasks), for more details check following links: Difference between RxJava and RxAndroid? https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-Retrofit-and-RxJava-RxAndroid
Retrofit:

LiveData and room with kotlin:
Room is a database layer on top of an SQLite database which used to remove boilter plate while fetching data from local sqlite database, use following links: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/android-room-with-a-view-kotlin/#0
After understanding this components(Kotlin, MVVM, Dagger, RxJava and RxAndroid, Retrofit, LiveData) individually then you need to do all this things in single project, use following link:

As a jr. android developer, i was thinking like you but i choose a route like :
- Learn MVVM with ViewModel(AAC),LiveData,Observable pattern.
- Make your async and multi threading processes with Coroutines.
- Make your Dependency Injection with Koin.
(If you want you can see how to mix them. Koin will be added soon. https://github.com/furkanaskin/CoinStalker)
Future?
Dagger 2, maybe Rxjava etc..
