  • News Title.
  • News Description.
  • Publication Date.
  • Source (Publisher).
  • Since the free version of NewsAPI does not allow the possibility of displaying news content of more than 260 characters, we preferred to load the news via the url provided in a webview and not in a Details Activity which would have been a bit empty.
• Using News API to retrieve news that matches the search
