Implementation Details

• Written 100% in Kotlin.
• Uses Jetpack Compose for the Compose version
• Uses ViewBinding for the Android Views version
• Uses Dagger for dependency injection.
• Uses Leak Canary to detect Memory Leaks.
• Uses Picasso for image loading and caching.
• Uses Coil-kt for image loading and caching in the Compose Activity.
• Uses Retrofit for networking with Gson Converter.
• Uses Pagination V3 from the Google's Jetpack Components in coordination with Retrofit's Coroutine support.
• Uses LiveData of a PagingData.
• Uses PagingSource and PagingDataAdapter.
• Handles screen rotations by caching the PagingData in the ViewModel Coroutine Scope and the search query during onSaveInstanceState.
