-
Commit and push your work to your remote GitHub repository.
-
Submit a pull request to us on GitHub for your changes.
- Use Android Studio.
- Make a series of small, logical commits, with good commit comments rather than one large commit for all your work.
- The contacts data which the app gets is hosted here.
- The project is using Dagger 2 for dependency injection and Butterknife for binding views. Ideally you will use these as well. If however you've never used them, we'd advise completing the test with your choice of frameworks (or none at all) rather than trying to learn these during the test.
- If you are unsure of how best to implement the new features, use your best judgement to create a functional and usable app.
- If you have technical issues preventing you from completing the test, please let your recruiter know and we'll help.
Good luck.
