Parstagram is a photo sharing app similar to Instagram but using Parse as its backend.
Time spent: 12 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can sign up to create a new account using Parse authentication.
- User can log in and log out of his or her account.
- The current signed in user is persisted across app restarts.
- User can take a photo, add a caption, and post it to "Instagram".
- User can view the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram".
- The user should switch between different tabs - viewing all posts (feed view), compose (capture photos form camera) and profile tabs (posts made) using fragments and a Bottom Navigation View. (2 points)
- User can pull to refresh the last 20 posts submitted to "Instagram".
The following optional features are implemented:
- User sees app icon in home screen and styled bottom navigation view
- Style the feed to look like the real Instagram feed.
- After the user submits a new post, show an indeterminate progress bar while the post is being uploaded to Parse.
- User can load more posts once he or she reaches the bottom of the feed using infinite scrolling.
- Show the username and creation time for each post.
The following additional features are implemented:
- Resized photos before loading them into memory, by using the density of the phone screen
- Utilized ViewPager2 for navigating between fragments
