Implement past issues using SimpleXML

Option to lock the bottom bar show/hide and plus button translation animation

I think after a while that animation will look weird also might confuse users about the navigation once it's hidden

Improve submit issue design.

Implement latest issue using SimpleXML and Jspoon for parse description and read links

For this feature, the design was implemented but we need to parse HTML and list it in RecyclerView

Add advertise button for redirect user to android weekly website for add jobs

Add unit testing for all components

Dagger and Coroutine improvements.

Dagger:

1. In the AppComponent, there is Builder which can be replaced with the interface Factory : AndroidInjector.Factory<MyApplication> as Builder is deprecated in the latest version of Dagger.
2. The fun inject(instance: MyApplication) can be removed as DaggerApplication class handles the field injections in the Application class.
3. The @BindsInstance function can be removed as the Factory generates this code for us.

Coroutines:

1. We can use withContext() function to switch threads in a coroutine instead of launching a new coroutine in separate thread each time.
2. Every function should handle the thread switching for proper execution of its body instead of relying on the caller of the function.
3. There is no thread switching needed for the database operations if the function in Dao is marked as suspend. Room uses a custom dispatcher optimised for the database operations.
