QuakeInfo

App description

• An android app (Kotlin) fetches earthquake data from a network call to an API.
• This app follows the Android's Model-View-ViewModel, i.e., MVVM architecture with the implementation of data-binding.
• It has a Range-Slider depicting earthquake magnitude range (eathquakes with magnitudes in this selected range only will be fetched and displayed).
• Fetching the earthquake data is done in a background thread without blocking the UI thread with help of Kotlin-Coroutines.
• The app uses Retrofit-library for calling and setting up the API service and Moshi-converter for decoding the fetched the JSON data.
• The fetched data is displayed in a Recycler view where each item is card view conatining Magnitude, Location, Date and Time of the earthquake.
• Different color schemes for light and dark themes.
