A sample Android application written in Kotlin to fetch images from Unsplash API with Pagination and demonstrates the use of Coil (for image loading), Koin (for injecting dependencies), Retrofit, Coroutines and MVVM
Although Unsplash sample apps are very common, I just wanted to explore the usage of Koin as a dependency framework in Android. Koin integration proved to be quite simpler and using DSL is a breeze. Moreover, I also used Coil to load images but it isn't used to a greater extent due to the simplicity of the app.
I used StaggeredLayoutManager as a change and implemented 4 columns in landscape mode and 2 for portrait mode. This made the app useful and eye-candy on tablets.
To setup this project, just clone it first. Then obtain the API key from here. Put this key in build.gradle file's appropriate API_KEY field and run the application. That's all!
This application uses MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) Architecture which is Google's recommended architecture for Android apps. You can read more about MVVM here.
For the sake of simplicity, Room database isn't implemented in this sample. If you would like to learn how to implement Room, do take a look at my other app Coronavirus Tracker.
