Engage News App

Features:

  • Downloading the news from the API given
  • Option to save the articles to view offline
  • Swipe from top to refresh news feed

Tech and Architecture:

  • This application takes advantage of MVVM architecture
  • Activity, ViewModel, Repository, LiveData, ObservableFields, DataBinding are the basic building blocks of this architecture
  • All the UI related work like showing Toast, starting a new activity, showing the progress bar, etc is done in the Activity.
  • Business logic is written in the ViewModel. Also the observable fields are present in the ViewModel which are observed from the XML when we use data binding.
  • All API and DB calls happen from within the repository.
  • It's a 1 way reference flow from Activity -> View Model -> Repository. For ViewModel/Repository to communicate back in the chain we use live data which is observed by the concerned entity.
  • We have used Java as the primary programming language
  • Constraint Layout has been used to design the UI

Libraries:

Apart from Gson(), no other 3rd party library has been used. Everything is built on top of the System APIs
