Headspace Android Coding Exercise
Android Developer Code Challenge
The goal was to create an Android app that displays a list of photos from the picsum API ([https://picsum.photos/] (https://picsum.photos/))
Demo of the resulting app (gif):
The app meets the following requirements:
- It displays the image, author, and dimensions of the photos
- Photos are laid out in a vertical orientation
- It handles the following states :
- Empty State (no data)
- Error State (api call failed)
- Loading State (api call is taking place)
- Content State (there is data to display)
- Besides, the app checks whether network connection is available again after connection loss and if it is, it is trying to reload data
- It is functional while offline (if data were uploaded into the database before, the data are available).
- When loading a page of photos it checks if that page exists in the database, and if it does then the app displays those photos from database, rather than making a call to the endpoint via network
