A simple News Android application written in Kotlin (YAY!) for demo at Fragments conference
It's an extremely simple app which uses NewsAPI to show the latest news from Google News. It uses Retrofit 2 library to fetch the news from the NewsAPI and show them on the UI.
The main goal of this sample app is show how to build robust and less crashable Android apps with Kotlin . It also shows the concise nature of Kotlin language and it's interoperability with Java. All this while having fun with Android.
- Go to NewsAPI and generate an API key (It's only 2 steps!)
- Put the API key at the bottom of the
gradle.propertiesNEWS_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" - Run the app
- Enjoyyyyy 🎉
