NewsApp

Android Developer Nanodegree Capstone Project.

A bit overview, it uses newsapi.org API to get news and get JSON data back. Then it is parsed using google's gson library and the requests are sent by Retrofit.

Note: To run the app you have to add NewsAPI.org key. I have taken this step to due to limited access to daily request for News. Getting a key would take just few seconds :)

Setup API Key

1. Visit NewsAPI.org to get your API Key
2. Copy your API Key from accounts section
3. Open gradle.properties (Create the file if not exists)
   • For Linux/Mac: /home/.gradle/gradle.properties
   • For Windows: C:\Users\<UserName>\.gradle\gradle.properties
   • Add the following line:

   NewsApi_ApiKey="YOUR_API_KEY"
