Giphy Browser

Android application concept to display Giphy trending images with paging loading and offline work support. Project demonstrates how-to use AndroidX, Kotlin, Navigation Component, Paging Component, MVVM, LiveData, Dagger, RxJava and Retrofit to get remote data and save it to local cache. For simplification, shared preferences are used like a local cache. For real scenario, DB storage (Room, GreenDao) is preferable.
