Why this project

This is a technical task provided by "MR Digital Group" (GPSWOX) for Junior Android Developer position. The exact requirements were as follows:

1. Create 1st screen (activity) with appbar which contains input box and displays earlier search history in dropdown.
   • Dropdown item must contain word, partOfSpeech & time of search;
   • Click on the dropdown item invokes new call to API and opens second (detail) activity;
2. Create 2nd screen to display search details separated into two halfs of the screen:
   • top half contains WebView with Word API search output;
   • bottom half contains GoogleMap. Long press on the map places marker.
   • appbar must contain option to switch between default and one of the 5 custom icons (random) imported from material.io.
   • press on the marker opens custom InfoWindow which contains definition and partOfSpeech of the current word.
3. Additional (bonus) requirements:
   • search history persistence between app restarts.
   • material design guidelines.
   • layouts for tablets and/or landscape orientation.
   • MVVM/MVP or any other architecture.
