Layout Resource naming

Prefer timeline_list_fragment.xml over fragment_timeline_list.xml. It is because it can group the related files together if it is sorted alphabetically. Also, The databinding codegen will generate TimelineListFragmentBinding.java which looks more natural than FragmentTimelineListBinding.java.

Improvements / Not implemented

1. UI test should cover more cases
2. Can create code generator for MVVM boilerplate

Misc

1. Can use ./gradlew useLatestVersions to update gradle dependency versions
