Description

The project's idea is to list trending projects from Github and then tap on one of them and show their details.

Requirements

• Write your application in Kotlin
• Ensure your application looks good on different screen sizes and densities
• Ensure your application supports Android API 23+
• Use good architecture and design patterns
• Use valuable external libraries that you are used to
• Use reactive programming

Bonus

• Filtering and ordering functionalities
• Unit tests
• Shared element transition or other animations (but only if they are functional to the user experience)

Trending Repositories

Trending_app_video.mp4

API

Since there is no official API for Trending Repositories (it is one of the internal GitHub API’s),

I have decided to use GitHub Search API and sort the repositories by their stars.

Tech stack

• Minimum SDK level 23
• Kotlin based + Coroutines for asynchronous.
• Dagger-Hilt (alpha) for dependency injection.
• JetPack
  • LiveData - notify domain layer data to views.
  • Lifecycle - dispose of observing data when lifecycle state changes.
  • ViewModel - UI related data holder, lifecycle aware.
  • Navigation Component - handle everything needed for in-app navigation.
  • Data Binding - declaratively bind observable data to UI elements.
  • Paging 3- load and display pages of data from a larger dataset
• Architecture
  • MVVM Architecture (View - DataBinding - ViewModel - Model)
  • Repository pattern
• Glide - loading images.
• Retrofit2 & OkHttp3 - construct the REST APIs and paging network data.
• Material-Components - Material design components like ripple animation, cardView.
• mockito-test library
