I'm excited to share my latest project, Khaber, a modern news application designed to provide a seamless and real-time news reading experience. My primary focus in this project was building a robust Networking Layer and ensuring high-performance API Integration.
? Key Features
Real-time News Feed: Dynamic data fetching for the latest global headlines.
Smart Search: Search functionality integrated with API endpoints for categories and keywords.
Weather Service: Live weather updates via specialized API integration.
Offline Support: Smart caching of news stories for uninterrupted reading.
? Technical Implementation (The "Under the Hood" Part)
As the developer focused on the API & Data Management, I implemented:
REST API Consumption: Efficiently handled complex JSON structures and mapped them into clean Dart/Java/Kotlin models.
Advanced Networking: Utilized Dio/Retrofit with Interceptors for logging, header management, and centralized error handling.
Resilient Error Handling: Developed a robust system to manage API failures, timeouts, and connectivity issues, ensuring a crash-free user experience.
Performance Optimization: Implemented Image Caching and optimized Asynchronous calls to keep the UI smooth and responsive while fetching data.
Architecture: Adhered to clean code principles to separate the data layer from the UI.
