This repository houses an News App that I developed while following the tutorial series by Philipp Lackner. The tutorial covered essential topics such as MVVM architecture, Retrofit, Coroutines, Navigation Components, and importantly, integrating a Room database to save and manage favorite articles. The app utilizes the NewsAPI for fetching news articles.
The tutorial series by Philipp Lackner can be found on his YouTube channel. The series covers various topics related to modern Android app development, including:
- MVVM architecture
- Consuming RESTful APIs using Retrofit
- Local data storage using Room
- Asynchronous programming with Coroutines
- In-app navigation using Navigation Components
The tutorial series was incredibly helpful in understanding these important concepts and how they come together to create a robust and well-structured Android application.
The features of this News App are based on the lessons learned from the tutorial series, and they include:
- Fetching and displaying news articles from various sources.
- Implementing a responsive UI using Material Components for a modern look and feel.
- Efficiently managing asynchronous operations using Coroutines.
- Saving articles as favorites using Room database integration.
- Utilizing the MVVM architecture for clean code separation and maintainability.
- Navigating between different app screens using Navigation Components.
To run this project on your local machine, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/duchoan6814/Android-Native-News.git - Open the project in Android Studio.
- Build and run the app on an emulator or physical device.
Make sure to refer to the tutorial series for guidance on obtaining and setting up your NewsAPI key to enable fetching of news articles.
This app requires an API key to fetch news articles. Follow these steps to set up your API key:
- Visit NewsAPI and sign up for an account.
- Once registered, create a new API key.
- Open the
gradle.propertiesfile and add your API key:API_KEY="your_api_key"
