For the nerds:

Now on GitHub! https://github.com/shmuelr/PicLoco

I made this app to play with a couple new Android APIs and libraries, most notably Palette. The images come from the Panoramio API graciously provided by Google. Additionally we have some Loader action fueling the glorious RecyclerView. The mighty Picasso library lives at the core of this app pumping life to these magnificent ImageViews. I attempted to incorporate a number of Material Design elements, and I will be adding more when I get time. (I want to add 'Hero' Activity transitions to connect the RecyclerView ImageViews to the ImageViews in the child activities). Eventually I plan on uploading the project to GitHub for anyone who is interested.

tl;dr This is what happens when app developers are bored (and overtired).
