FidReader

Idea

"Crear un lector de Feeds utilizando componentes del framework de Android."

Objetivos

La app debe permitir al usuario:

1. Buscar feeds por palabras claves (ej.: "android", "economia Argentina", etc)
2. Ver los feeds resultado de la busqueda por palabras claves.
3. Marcar un feed como favorito.
4. Ver en modo offline los feeds favoritos.
5. Compartir un feed con amigos.
6. Filtrar los feeds, resultado de la busqueda, por titulo.
7. Quitar un feed de favoritos.

Utilizar Google Feed API para obtener los feeds: https://developers.google.com/feed/v1/jsondevguide
