JoomTest

Test sample with Giphy API gifs grid and viewer. App made for Joom recruitment process. Done in approx. 11 hours.

Add giphy api key in your local gradle.properties like giphy_api_key=<your_apikey_here> and build as usual

Retrolambda — A little bit overkill fopr small apps, but for fast development it was good.
RxJava2 — added for consestent flow between logic and UI and vise versa.
RxAndroid — normaly I don't use it, just added here because of AndroidSchedulers, usually it's the same but implemented inside an application.
Fresco — highweight, yes, but it's really easy to show webp gifs using it, so I mnade this choise.
Support Tabs — for giphy user profile showing inside webview.
Retrofit — for fast rest api client impllementation.
Gson — a little bit overkill for such a small app, but for speeding up developemnt it's ok.
Google Lifecycle Extensions — I think for this app google's ViewModel implementation was enough.

I'm not managing lifecycle inside ViewModel and not saving state intentionally, as I think leaving it simplier here will be better. For example, I can use Subjects for it to save state inside ViewModel between Activity recreations.
Also, by making state saving in ViewModels we can bind and unbind to VMs in onStart/onStop, but it will require work as we also need to hold and refresh paging and refresh and retry signals in case our UI will be destroyed. So for now its just onCreate/onDestroy with mno state saving.
I made PreviewActivity singleTop, so it can be launched inside other apps like messengers when clicking deeplink.
I left just one ViewModel class because here it is kind of "pure" and holding no logic data, just RestAdapter, which seems ok for me.
I've done nothing with proguard and signing and all the other infrastructure stuff
