Please review Assignment 2: Google Image Search App
User stories Completed:
-
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. I have used "filter" icon to trigger this in the SherlockActionBar
-
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 have any filters applied to the search results
-
User can click 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)
The following advanced user stories are also completed:
- Advanced: Robust error handling, check if internet is available, handle error cases, network failures
- Advanced: Used SherlockActionBar SearchView as the query box instead of an EditText
- Advanced: User can share an image to their friends or email it to themselves
- Advanced: Replaced Filter Settings Activity with a lightweight modal overlay
- Advanced: Improve the user interface and experiment with image assets and/or styling and coloring - Adjusted the image size and the Title size in the StaggeredGridView. Set background text for title
- Bonus: Used StaggeredGridView to display improve the grid of image results. STill playing with image size ratios
- Bonus: User can zoom or pan images displayed in full-screen detail view. This i could test on device but emulator has some issues.
