Research direction

Start by reproducing the Android setup from the dependency declaration and XML reference in the report; no repository file or test is named. Compare the reported PhotoView XML class lookup with the project's Android usage and document whether this is a repository defect or an integration issue, with a minimal reproduction as the completion criterion.
