NewsApp coded with latest Android technologies.

NewsApp

It's a demo project to follow the latest news, search in old news and save the news you want to keep for later readings.

Project is written in Kotlin.💯

The Aim Of The Project

Implementing new technologies and best practices in android development such as:

• MVVM - Its principal advantage is that it caches state and persists it through configuration changes.
  
  
• Navigation Components - Navigation component helps you implement navigation, from simple button clicks to more complex patterns, such as app bars and the navigation drawer.
  
  
• Architecture Components - It's a new collection of libraries that contains the lifecycle-aware components. It can solve problems with configuration changes, supports data persistence, reduces boilerplate code, helps to prevent memory leaks and simplifies async data loading into your UI.
  
  
• Coroutines - In addition to opening the doors to asynchronous programming, coroutines also provide a wealth of other possibilities, such as concurrency and actors.
  
  
• Retrofit - A type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java. Retrofit turns your HTTP API into a Java interface.
  
  
• Room - The Room persistence library provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow fluent database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
  
  
• LiveData - LiveData is an observable data holder class. Unlike a regular observable, LiveData is lifecycle-aware, meaning it respects the lifecycle of other app components, such as activities, fragments, or services.
  
  
• WorkManager - WorkManager is the recommended solution for persistent work. Work is persistent when it remains scheduled through app restarts and system reboots.
  
  
• Notifications - A notification is a message that Android displays outside your app's UI to provide the user with reminders, communication from other people, or other timely information from your app.
  
  
• Sharing - Common ways you can send and receive simple data (like text, images and files) between applications using the Android Share sheet and Intent Resolver with Intent objects.
  
  
• ViewBinding - View binding is a feature that allows you to more easily write code that interacts with views. Once view binding is enabled in a module, it generates a binding class for each XML layout file present in that module.
  
  
• Pagination - Pagination helps you load and display small chunks of data at a time. Loading partial data on demand reduces usage of network bandwidth and system resources.
  
  
• Glide - Glide is a fast and efficient open source media management and image loading framework for Android that wraps media decoding, memory and disk caching, and resource pooling into a simple and easy to use interface.
