Papes

A native Android app for wallpapers. Developed as part of a native Android development course at the Oulu University of Applied Sciences.

The app is written in Kotlin and follows the MVVM architecture pattern with some clean architecture principles applied.

It uses the Pexels API to fetch images.

Showcase

Building

Building the app requires an API key from Pexels. You can get one by signing up at https://www.pexels.com/api/.

Once you have the key, create a file apikey.properties in the root directory of the project and add the following line to it:

PEXELS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
