The News App is a mobile application developed using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. It's designed to fetch news articles from a provided API and display them in a user-friendly interface. The application follows the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture pattern to ensure separation of concerns and maintainability.
- Jetpack Compose: The app leverages Jetpack Compose, a modern Android UI toolkit, to create a seamless and interactive user experience.
- Kotlin: Developed entirely in Kotlin, the codebase benefits from the conciseness and expressiveness of the language, promoting efficient and readable code.
- Shimmer Effect: Utilizes the shimmer effect to provide users with visual feedback while content is loading, enhancing the overall user experience by reducing perceived loading times.
- Retrofit: Fetches news articles from an API.
- Dependency Injection: Employing dependency injection enhances the app's maintainability and testability by decoupling components and facilitating easier component replacement and testing.
- Network Connectivity Check: The app includes functionality to check for network connectivity, ensuring a seamless experience by handling scenarios where the device may be offline or have limited connectivity.
- Implements MVVM architecture for clean and organized code.
- Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.
- Open in Android Studio: Open the project in Android Studio.
- Build and Run: Build and run the project on an Android device or emulator.
- Upon launching the app, users will be presented with a list of news articles.
- Users can tap on different categories buttons to filter news articles based on their interests.
- Further interactions with the app are still under development.
