Discussion:
Just a followup feature suggestion while using the app. What if we add swipe right, swipe left action on the item to delete particular item?

~ Similar to like this deleting the item by performing swipe action.

That would be a nice extra indeed.
Great to implement if it is short and maintainable. :-)

It looks like the test setup is bypassing the normal fragment lifecycle. Normally Android would have called onCreateView() before onResume(), the binding would then have been created. Since it's null the "!!" in

private val binding get() = _binding!!

is throwing the exception.

Take a look at ContributionsListFragmentUnitTests and MoreBottomSheetLoggedOutFragmentUnitTests - they both use Google's FragmentScenario to set up their respective fragments under test, and the scenario let's you walk the fragment through its correct lifecycle steps.

Will fix this by next week. Taking a break due to university exams.
