Modern News App is a simple news app 🗞️ which uses NewsAPI to fetch top news headlines for different categories from the API. The app is a guide to build Modern Android applications for all Android Developers. This repository includes improvements over the News App(1.0) repository.

The codebase focuses 👓 on following key things:

• Code structuring, style and comments
• Dependency injection 🗡
• Offline first ✈️
• Kotlin + Coroutines
• And best practices 🛠

TODO

• Time formatting of published date
• Detail Screen UI completion
• Search Functionality implementation

API key 🔑

You'll need to provide API key to fetch the news from the News Service (API). Currently the news is fetched from NewsAPI

• Generate an API key (It's only 2 steps!) from NewsAPI
• Create new file named -> credentials.properties in our project root folder
• Add the API key as shown below [Make sure to keep the double quotes]:

    NEWS_API_KEY = "<INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY>"

• Build the app
• Enjoyyyyy 🎉

Libraries and tools 🛠

News App uses libraries and tools used to build Modern Android application, mainly part of Android Jetpack 🚀

• Kotlin first
• Coroutines and Flow first
• Architecture components
• Dagger Hilt for dependency injection 🗡
• Retrofit
• Other Android Jetpack components

Architecture

The app uses MVVM [Model-View-ViewModel] architecture to have a unidirectional flow of data, separation of concern, testability, and a lot more.
