The app was built with a clean MVVM architecture following Android Architecture components and Android Jetpack. This is very important to make the code base more robust, testable, and maintainable in the long run.

A UseCase layer layer was added before the Repository layer.

I used a generic class NetworkBoundResource for loading a resource. This class can provide a resource backed by both the database and the network.

For successfully running the app, you need to add an API key for the NewsAPi on the Constants.kt file.
