Daily News

Software Design for Handheld Devices

Spring 2020

I coded this Android Application in Kotlin, using a minimum SDK of 21. This app displays the most popular news articles of the day from across the world. The app features Firebase login authentication and stores user information in Firebase Cloud Storage. On the main screen of the app, a list view displays a synopsis of the 20 most viewed news articles of that day, each of which have a button to link to the full story. At the bottom of the screen, there is a button to open the search page. On the search page, the user can search by any keyword and the most relevant articles are returned to the user in a similar list as the main page. This app uses the Google News API to return results from news outlets all over the internet, implicit intents to open the news articles, and a Recycler View to display the lists.
