Features
- Search images by entering the keywork (uses Microsoft Azure Congitive Services Bing Image Search API)
- Supports pagination (fetch results in group of 20)
- Caching: Stores previous search results into SQLite using Room ORM.
- So, if a search result exists, it can be fetched from local DB. No need to re-hit the API.
- After MAX_ROWS limit is reached, oldest record will be deleted. Otherwise App's cache size will go on increasing.
- API keys are stored natively (JNI) rather than hardcoding it in a constant in java file.
- Grid size can be changed (2 column, 3 column, 4 column)
- Bonus #1: Shared Element transition animation when any list item is clicked
