This is a simple news application built with Kotlin for Android. It is an Android news app that provides users with the latest news. Firebase Authentication allows user login, and users can save their favorite news articles. Additionally, news can be searched using the search functionality, and saved favorite news articles can be listed. The app is developed using Android's modern architecture and aims to deliver the best user experience.
- User Login: User login is performed using Firebase Authentication. Users can log in with email and password.
- Favorite News: Users can add news to their favorites and view their favorite news. Favorite news can be deleted, and an "undo" operation can be performed.
- News Search: Users can search for news and find the stories they want. Search results are updated in real-time.
- News List: Current news is displayed in a list format. New news can be added to the list, and more news is loaded as the user scrolls the page.
- Error Management: Error messages are shown during search or news loading operations.
