DevUpdates

=======

An app that keeps you updated on Android Ecosystem from various different sources. Basically, news app for developer updates.

## Why it was built

I have always wanted to build a open source project that is useful for me and other people. At the same time, I wanted to learn

new things that have been happening in Android Development Ecosystem. So, instead of using third party apis to build a sample app, I chose 

to build this news app that helps me learn things from various sources.

It basically scrapes or uses rss feed to fetch content from different sources and saves it locally in the database. It is an offline app.

Note: This project is for learning purpose only. I will probably do different experiments, use cases that might not be suitable for ideal scenarios.

Although If you have some suggestions regarding data sources, I will try to add them. Otherwise, fork this repo, do your thing.

## Features

    - Home (aggregated feed from different sources)

    - Android Weekly

    - Official Android Blog

    - Styling Android

    - Commonsware
