Implementation Details

The application implementation follows the architecture proposed in the android architectural guidelines.

Following are the features implemented;

1. The user can view the list of, search for and preview images from Pixabay API.
2. Images can be downloaded using DownloadManager. Right now image in "largeImageURL" is being downloaded as I didn't receive "imageURL" param in JSON despite filling the application description form a day or 2 ago.
3. And Retrofit is used to fetch the data from the api which is then paginated using Paging 3 with Coroutine Flows.
4. All the project dependencies are injected using Hilt
5. Dark Theme support for Android 10 and above
6. All the presentation is done using Android Architecture Components like ViewModels, LiveData and Data Binding.
