Development

To start an application you need to go to Marvel Developer Portal, make account and get private and public key. Then you need to replace REPLEACE_WITH_YOUR_PUBLIC_MARVEL_KEY and REPLEACE_WITH_YOUR_PRIVATE_MARVEL_KEY in gradle.properties with your keys. It is enough to start and test application on AndroidStudio. If you want to contribute then add this properties in module gradle.properties.

To set up key, and still be able to commit all files without exposing them, you can place them inside module gradle.properties (inside app folder). It is already in .gitignore, so you will be able commit all files and it won't be included. (Do not copy file, only its content. Create new file!)
