Android news application built to practice working with REST API, Retrofit networking and RecyclerView-based UI.
The app loads news data from a remote source, displays it as a scrollable list and demonstrates a basic Android architecture with separated UI and networking logic.
NewsRetrofit is a small Android project focused on consuming remote data using Retrofit.
The project demonstrates how to request data from an API, parse the response, and display a list of news items in an Android application.
- Loading news from a remote API
- Displaying news in a RecyclerView list
- Basic networking layer with Retrofit
- Data parsing from API response
- Simple Android UI for browsing news content
- Kotlin
- Android SDK
- XML layouts
- RecyclerView
- Retrofit
- REST API
- Gson / JSON parsing
- Coroutines
- Gradle
- Git
- GitHub
The project separates networking logic from UI code and can be further improved with a clearer MVVM structure, repository layer and UI state handling.
It is useful as a compact example of Android API integration with Retrofit.
- Add MVVM architecture
- Add Repository layer
- Add loading and error UI states
- Add pagination
- Add search and filtering
- Add unit tests for data mapping
- Improve UI design
- Migrate networking result handling to sealed classes
- Add offline caching with Room
This project is part of my Android portfolio and is used to demonstrate REST API integration and Retrofit-based networking in Android.
