EzNews is an android app showing a simple news feed built using Jetpack Compose, Paging 3 and the NewsAPI.org.
This is a personal project for me to try out the latest libraries for Jetpack Compose (Alpha-09) and Paging 3. This app isn't publicly released on any app store.
- 100% Kotlin
- MVVM architecture
- Uses Kotlin coroutines thoroughout
- Uses Hilt for dependency injection
- UI built using Jetpack compose
You will require the latest Android Studio preview to build the app. This is because Compose is only supported in v4.2 or later.
You will need to supply your own development API key for NewsAPI.org. see NewsAPI for details.
Once you obtain a key, you can set it in your local.properties gradle file like so:
# API key used to access news api
NEWS_ORG_API_KEY={key}
- Jetpack Compose
- Retrofit
- ViewModel
