Here's an example of how you might use the News API in your Android app:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import com.android.volley.Request;
import com.android.volley.RequestQueue;
import com.android.volley.Response;
import com.android.volley.VolleyError;
import com.android.volley.toolbox.JsonObjectRequest;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public class NewsActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ListView listView;
private RequestQueue requestQueue;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_news);
listView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url = "https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=us&apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY";
JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
try {
JSONArray articles = response.getJSONArray("articles");
for (int i = 0; i < articles.length(); i++) {
JSONObject article = articles.getJSONObject(i);
String title = article.getString("title");
String description = article.getString("description");
// Display the article title and description in your UI
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(NewsActivity.this, "Error: " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}, new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Toast.makeText(NewsActivity.this, "Error: " + error.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
requestQueue.add(jsonObjectRequest);
}
}
Remember to replace YOUR_API_KEY
with your actual API key from the News API or other API you're using.
