Pexels Android Library

Pexels Android Library is a wrapper library for Pexels REST API. It handles all the network transactions and provides the data. It uses the popular Android Network client Retrofit.

This project started as a helper utils for my own projects. But then I decided to expand further to make it as a library. There are many community libraries for other frameworks and languages, but a few for Android and JVM languages.

It uses Coroutines as its main weapon, but it also has support for Java devs too (by callback).

Kotlin

coroutineScope.launch {
    try {
        val response = pexelsClient.searchForPhotos("duck")
    } catch (e: Exception) {

    }
}

Java

pexelsClient.searchForPhotosCallback("duck")
    .setOnSuccessListener(response -> {

    })
    .setOnFailureListener(e -> {

    });

For every operation involves coroutines, suspend functions, there will be equivalent *Callback methods to support Java callers.
