Gazetti

An blazing fast Android app to make reading newspaper easy and interesting.

Get it on Google Play

This app is focused on giving full control to the users for what they want to read, down to the category level. From a Newspapers you'd like to read and select the category. If you don't like Politics, don't select it in your feed selector!

The latest news would be displayed in a list and the article would be displayed in a reading mode, free of external links and ads. You can now enjoy reading your newspapers distraction free.

Technology used

  • Parse.com as Backend - To collect the latest news from newspapers periodically and maintaining it. Cloud code is written in JavaScript.
  • Jsoup for parsing articles into "Reading Mode" - The app finds the top heading, top image and the article body from the links. It skips the unnecessary ads if within the body.
  • Gson - To parse the user's feed preference into string and save it to sharedPrefs.
  • Picasso - To load the images in article asynchronously.
  • Other Libraries Used - ListViewAnimations, KenBurnsView (in Tablet layout), SmoothProgressBar, JazzyViewPager, TextJustify
