4. (Optional) If you'd like to be able to upload images to Imgur:
   1. Register a new application for the Imgur API.
   2. Create the file secrets.xml in /Awful.apk/src/main/res/values/.
   3. Place the client ID in secrets.xml, like so:

<?xml version=1.0 encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="imgur_api_client_id">YOUR_CLIENT_ID</string>
