1. Create a List of 20 User objects in the ListActivity. Randomize the name, descriptions and
value of Followed.

2. Replace the ImageView in the ListActivity with a RecyclerView. Populate the

RecyclerView with the list created in previous step.

3. Add an onClickListener for the image such that it will show an Alert Dialog with the
corresponding name. Clicking on the view button will direct the user to the MainActivity
to show the profile page. Toggling the Follow button should save the state back in the
respective User object.

Hint: You can use static variable.

Using global static variable is not a good software engineering practice. Are you able to
figure other ways of achieving these behaviours?
