Time spent: 25 hours

Completed User Stories:

Required:

  • User can enter a search query that will display a grid of image results from the Google Image API.
  • User can click on "settings" which allows selection of advanced search options to filter results
  • User can configure advanced search filters such as:
    • Size (small, medium, large, extra-large)
    • Color filter (black, blue, brown, gray, green, etc...)
    • Type (faces, photo, clip art, line art)
    • Site (espn.com)
  • Subsequent searches will have any filters applied to the search results
  • User can tap on any image in results to see the image full-screen
  • User can scroll down “infinitely” to continue loading more image results (up to 8 pages)

Advanced: Basically everything but sharing of images.

  • Robust error handling, check if internet is available, handle error cases, network failures
  • Use the ActionBar SearchView or custom layout as the query box instead of an EditText
  • Replace Filter Settings Activity with a lightweight modal overlay
  • Improve the user interface and experiment with image assets and/or styling and coloring
