Implementation

What can be implemented?

• A Linear view of all the albums on the phone arranged by the last modified data (camera, all media given higher priority).

Implementation Strategy

Create an UI for custom image selector

• Create Floating action button for custom image selector and add it to the +(plus) floating action button in contribution Activity
• Define layout attributes, create XML files for both Design 1 , Design 2, Design 3
• Create java files handling UI functionalities such as display folder name and item count, click listeners, scroll and animations.
• Create a data loader class, get the data from content resolvers, and load thumbnails in the UI using glide.

Integrate the API

• Create an Model which handle API
• Commons has a simple API to check the presence or not of a file, it works by sending the SHA1 checksum to the URL https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allimages&format=xml&aisha1=<put SHA1 here>

Implement caching the data with images

• Create an viewModel which handle caching
• use the Univerasal-image-Loader library for caching of image
