In this project, I built an android app to discover popular and recent News Headlines. I built clean UI, sync to a server, and present detailed information of each News Headline, allowing users to 'favorite' News Article.
To run this app, you must also have an API Key defined as a variable named API_KEY in the file ArticleMediator.kt located at com.mayank_amr.news.data.repository.paging package.
- List of Top Headlines Country: India Default Tag: Technology, where 'Tags' represent 'Category' in the API. All categories in API docs are present in horizontally scroll.
- Sorted news by latest on top.
- Clicking on different tags should result in headlines from appropriate categories.
- Clicking
CardOpensDetail Screen.
- Used Pagination - lazy load at the end of every 10 cards.
- Used Room DB for saving favourites => Favourites should also be categorized by tags.
- Used Room DB for caching logic - Once cached, should work offline without network.
- Cached workflow works as same as online workflow .i.e., tag categorization with the cached data.
- Used Retrofit and Kotlin Flow for networking [and] to observe changes in Room and update the UI.
- Open app when
offline=>load cached data=>scroll to bottom=>turn on network=>auto paginates. - Maintained proper scroll position when Room data is updated with new data from API.
- Creative recycler view interactions / animations and pull-to-refresh.
