 Android news app built in kotlin that fetches news data from <a href="https://newsapi.org/">news api</a> with **Retrofit** and displays news to users.
 This App follow MVVM architecture carrying Room operations in Data Access Objects(DAO) and API calls in Repository, and fragments navigations implemented with Android Navigation Component.
 
-### Problem Statement : 
-In Today's corporate life, people don't have enough time to watch news from different sources, thus they can miss out important opportunities, information, etc. Besides opportunites, it's a good habit to be educated about the environment we live in.
-

 ### MVVM Architecture : 
 
 MVVM is one of the architectural patterns which enhances separation of concerns, it allows separating the user interface logic from the business (or the back-end) logic. Its target (with other MVC patterns goal) is to achieve the following principle "Keeping UI code simple and free of app logic in order to make it easier to manage".

  * **LiveData:** A data holder class that can be observed. Always holds/caches the latest version of data, and notifies its observers when data has changed.
 
 
- ### Navigation Component : 
-
- #### The Navigation component consists of three key parts that are described below:
-
-* **Navigation graph :** An XML resource that contains all navigation-related information in one centralized location. This includes all of the individual content areas within your app, called destinations, as well as the possible paths that a user can take through your app.
-
-* **NavHost :** An empty container that displays destinations from your navigation graph. The Navigation component contains a default NavHost implementation, NavHostFragment, that displays fragment destinations.
-
-* **NavController :** An object that manages app navigation within a NavHost. The NavController orchestrates the swapping of destination content in the NavHost as users move throughout your app.
-
 ### Retrofit : 
 Retrofit is a type-safe REST client for Android, Java and Kotlin developed by Square. The library provides a powerful framework for authenticating and interacting with APIs and sending network requests with OkHttp.
