Guide to Android Apps

This project aims to cover the basics of Android Apps by creating your very own News Portal.

What we will use

Following is our tech stack.

• Java ( Sorry, No Kotlin)
• Retrofit
• Glide
• GSON
• Prettytime

We will use NewsApi as news feeder.

Look at the Codebase

public static Retrofit getApiClient() {
    if (retrofit == null) {
        retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
                .client(getUnsafeOkHttpClient().build())
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build();
    }
    return retrofit;
}

Steps to Run

Simply clone the project using the following command.

git clone https://github.com/DevDHera/Guide-to-Andriod-Apps.git

Or you can checkout from the VCS using the Android Studio.

After that make sure to add your own API Key(obtained from newsapi.org) to the following line in .MainActivity.java.

public static final String API_KEY = "API_KEY";

That’s it. Now enjoy your own news portal
