2021 Android Guide: Pagination pt 2 w/ Retrofit & LiveData

This episode continues our paging implementation of the Rick and Morty API. I dive into how to connect your DataSource to Retrofit, build a DataSourceFactory, and bundle all of our work into a single LiveData instance that our view layer (the Activity) will observe! Next episode we will connect the UI to everything we have built and get a list on screen!

Do you frequently use the Paging library? I've seen custom pagination implementations and they seem so much less complicated. Is there a big benefit to using the Paging library?

@The Android Factory, I've been following your videos while creating my own app that uses a different API. The API I'm using doesn't have a page endpoint. How would I show the list of data without pagination?
