📝 Requirements 📝

The current project uses the News API in order to search and provide news information. Hence, in order to run this project properly it is necessary to specify such API key in the local.properties file, in the following way:

NEWS_API_KEY=029cs8873jd783SomeApiKeyValue

These fields are used in the build.gradle file from the app:module in order to generate BuildConfig fields.

// Reading the `NEWS_API_KEY` field from local.properties
buildConfigField "String", "API_KEY", "\"${properties.getProperty("NEWS_API_KEY")}\""
