Code challenge Android

Create a simple photo library that downloads images from [flickr] (https://www.flickr.com/services/api/) and that uses most if not all of the below:

• [MVVM Pattern] (https://github.com/googlesamples/android-architecture)
• [Architecture Components] (https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/)
• [BindingAdapter] (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/databinding/BindingAdapter.html)
• [ConstraintLayout] (https://developer.android.com/training/constraint-layout/)
• [Retrofit2] (https://github.com/square/retrofit)
• [RxJava2] (https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava)
• [Glide v4] (https://github.com/bumptech/glide)
• [GlideModule] (http://bumptech.github.io/glide/doc/generatedapi.html#availability)
• [LeakCanary] (https://github.com/square/leakcanary)
• [OkHttp] (https://github.com/square/okhttp)
• [DataBinding] (https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding/index.html)
• [Room Persistence Library] (https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-room-with-a-view)
• [Espresso - Testing] (https://github.com/googlesamples/android-testing)
• [Firebase & Firestore] (https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/)

TODO

1. Search for images by keyword
2. Download pictures from the flickr api and display them (Grid or Constraint Layout)
3. Implement a Detail screen which should show the picture in bigger resolution/ full screen
4. Add save to device function
5. Add unit tests

Nice to have

1. Download images without using any external libraries (i.e. use native)
2. Share the pictures, use swipe gestures, custom animations

Please follow clean code principles!

Happy Coding!
