Rick and Morty Location and Character App

Description

This is an app that displays Rick and Morty locations and characters. Users can view a list of locations and characters, and click on a location to view the characters associated with that location. They can also click on a character to view more details about that character.

Tasks

Task 1: Basic Application Setup

• A functional basic application will be prepared.

Task 2: Splash Screen Development

• This page should only be displayed at startup.
• It should contain an animation or an image that introduces the application.
• There should be a welcome message on the page. When the user opens the application for the first time, it should say "Welcome!". In subsequent launches, it should say "Hello!".

Task 3: Home Page Creation

• The page should consist of a title/logo, a scrolling horizontal list, and a vertical list.

Task 4: Populating the Scrolling List

• The horizontal list should include Rick and Morty locations.
• The content should be pulled from here: https://rickandmortyapi.com/documentation/#locationschema
• Only the first page should be listed (20 locations).
• The design of selected and unselected locations should be different.

Task 5: Populating the Vertical List

• Characters associated with the location retrieved from the horizontal list should be listed.
• The location response contains urls for characters (residents). The id's from these urls will be parsed to retrieve character details from this source: https://rickandmortyapi.com/documentation/#get-multiple-characters

Task 6: Differentiating Items in the Vertical List

• Item designs should vary based on the gender of the listed characters: male, female, genderless, or unknown (as seen in the mockup).

Task 7: Adding Detail Pages

• The page with the provided design should be developed.
• Clicking on an item in the vertical list should open this page.

Task 8: Adding Lazy Load to the Scrolling List

• When the horizontal list on the main page is scrolled to the end (right), the next page should be loaded.
• A loading item should be added to the end of the list during loading.
