#Task

Develop an Android app that will fetch a list of customers from an API and display them on screen as detailed below. The API is: https://app.qudini.com/api/queue/gj9fs

The Username and password for the API are:

• Username: codetest1
• Password: codetest100

The API will need to be authenticated against using HTTP Basic auth and will return a JSON object that contains some queue data containing a list of customer objects.

Requirements:

• The app should make a request to this api and display the list of customers name and their ‘expectedTime' and ordered by the expected time closest time first.
• It should also fetch the profile image of the customer by using the Gravatar Image request api (use their email for this, or show a placeholder if no email is present): https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/
• The app should ensure that the list reloads automatically every 30 seconds and that the UI is not blocked.
• The project will be covered by Unit Test.
• The app would be available for tablet and smartphone. (bonus)

The completed project should be uploaded to github and the URL submitted along with a description on how you coded it and reasons for doing things in the way you chose.

Could you complete the task using native language. You’re free to use any 3rd part library or framework that you can justify the need.
