Hiring Problem[Domain]:
Android developer
Through this assignment, we hope to assess your thinking methodology as a
programmer, & your craft. Although, the ideal assessment process recommends a
problem statement with significant complexity.
Read the content of the problem statement carefully, and ensure you abide by the
rules specified. Failure to abide the rules will result in disqualification.
We have deliberately kept the app simple enough for everyone to attempt it, but
we are keen to see the approach you take to solve it.
You are given a task in which you need to design and develop a system which
follows design patterns and clean code principles.
Objective
// API to consume
[Link]
Consume the above API to display the list of users
Design a view to show the list of users.
Each item should contain every element of the data (email, first name, last
name, avatar).
On Tapping any item, a pop up opens with the card view showing user info.
Design and place elements however you want, but it should look good.
Pagination
Hiring Problem[Domain]: Android developer 1
Add pagination to fetch the data based on a list of pages .i.e when the user is
scrolling towards the upward direction, fetch next page data to show by
checking the edge cases
page=1 //initially
increment page to 2 if user keep scrololing till max number pages reached
App Requirements
The app should preferably support minimum Android API level 19.
Pay special attention to UI/UX, Animation & App-Responsiveness.
The app should have 100% offline support. Once the data is fetched
successfully from remote, it should be stored locally and served from cache
until the cache expires.
The cached data should only be valid for a duration of 45 minutes. After that
the app should attempt to refresh the data from remote and purge the cache
only after successful data fetch.
The app should give a pull-to-refresh option to the user to force fetch data
from remote.
The app should be able to handle configuration changes (like rotation).
The app should have data, device & application security best practices.
The app should keep a check on the internet connection, like loader you need
to let the user know the internet is not available on top of the screen and
show data automatically when the internet is connected.
If the app is not able to fetch the data, then it should show an error state to
the user with an
option to retry again.
Showing shimmers instead of boring indicators for the users must be an
advantage while fetching the data.
APK optimization and API call optimizations.
