Hi there, I'm Hassan Amr 👋

                       

✅ About the App

➡️ Simple Blog Feed App is a Native Android App that I built to show and apply the concepts of building apps that have

• Clean Architecture
• Lifecycle Management
• Loosely Coupled Modules
• Easy and Efficient Threading
• Data Independency from UI Changes and Lifecycle
• More Felxibility and Maintainability

➡️ And I was able to accomplish the above requirements using

• Java Programming Language
• Android MVVM Architecture Pattern
• RxJava with RxAndroid
• REST APIS with Retrofit
• JSONPlaceholder (Free fake API for testing and prototyping.)

➡️ Finally I merged all of the above in an Blog Feed App that allows the user to

• Browse the blog feed for the latest posts by users
• View all posts posted by specific user
• View other users accounts and their contact data
• Add / Edit / Delete Posts

• App Architecture: https://developer.android.com/topic/architecture
• UI Layer: https://developer.android.com/topic/architecture/ui-layer
• Data Layer: https://developer.android.com/topic/architecture/data-layer
• View binding: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding
