ListOfThings app

This app is a contrived example to illustrate some recommended techniques for Android. It displays a list of things retrieved from an external source and cached to locally to disk.The external source implementation is currently just a mock object (see MockThingService), but could easily be connected to real sources using a retrofit implementation of ThingService.

The app demonstrates the following UI techniques:

20. List animations for refresh, remove, undo, and toggle view modes
21. Shared element transitions between Activities - updated implementation of this
22. CollapsibleToolbarLayout with CoordinatorLayout
23. Overscroll to return to previous Activity
24. translucent system bars

And these architectural techniques:

1. Uncle Bob's Clean Artchitecture with SOLID principles
2. Separate app, core, and data modules to enforce independent layers
3. Dev and Prod product flavors to keep essential non-production code out of production builds.
4. Dagger 2 for dependency injection
5. RxJava for asynchronous data operations
6. Shelf for basic object disk caching
7. Retrofit for web service integration
8. Activities and Views without of Fragments. Based on this.
9. Junit and Mockito for unit tests
10. Retrolambda for Java 8 lambda support
11. Example Interactors to isolate business cases
12. Example Repository and DataSource to demonstrate separation of caching policies, entity mapping, and external source integration
13. Injectable Mock DataSource (MockThingService)
14. BasePresenter to separate presentation work from Views (e.g. manage view-related Rx subscriptions)
15. Retrofit ServiceFactory
16. Rx Scheduler injection
17. Mocked delay (2 seconds) for Thing Service to demonstrate UI progress feedback
18. Switchable Environments
19. Git build integration
20. Global error handling
21. Image loading with Picasso
