Implement Headlines landing screen with Jetpack Compose MVVM architecture

[Copilot]

Creates the initial Headlines screen as the app's first landing view, displaying article headlines with sample data.

Implementation

UI Layer

• HeadlinesScreen composable with LazyColumn for article list
• ArticleItem card component showing title, description, author, source, thumbnail (80x80dp via Coil), and save button
• Material 3 theming with dynamic colors
• State handling for loading/error/success

Business Logic

• HeadlinesViewModel with StateFlow<HeadlinesUiState> for reactive state management
• Sample data initialization (5 articles across tech, climate, business, health, science)
• saveArticle() stub ready for Room integration

Navigation & Infrastructure

• MainActivity with bottom nav (Headlines/Sources/Saved) and NavHost
• Hilt DI configured (@HiltAndroidApp, @HiltViewModel)
• Navigation sealed class for type-safe routes
• Placeholder screens for Sources and Saved tabs

Testing

• 6 unit tests for HeadlinesViewModel covering state, data structure, business logic

Example Usage

@Composable
fun HeadlinesScreen(
    viewModel: HeadlinesViewModel = hiltViewModel(),
    onArticleClick: (Article) -> Unit
) {
    val uiState by viewModel.uiState.collectAsState()
    
    when {
        uiState.articles.isNotEmpty() -> ArticlesList(...)
        uiState.isLoading -> CircularProgressIndicator()
        uiState.error != null -> ErrorMessage(...)
    }
}

Ready for Integration

• Retrofit/NewsAPI: Add ArticleRepository and inject into ViewModel
• Room: Implement saveArticle() with DAO
• DataStore: Configure source selection persistence
• WebView: Wire onArticleClick to Accompanist WebView screen

Documentation

Added 8 markdown files covering architecture diagrams, setup instructions, UI specifications, and visual previews.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• dl.google.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/lib/jvm/temurin-17-jdk-amd64/bin/java --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.invoke=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.prefs/java.util.prefs=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.nio.charset=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util.concurrent.atomic=ALL-UNNAMED -Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Duser.country -Duser.language=en -Duser.variant -cp /home/REDACTED/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-8.2-bin/bbg7u40eoinfdyxsxr3z4i7ta/gradle-8.2/lib/gradle-launcher-8.2.jar -javaagent:/home/REDACTED/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-8.2-bin/bbg7u40eoinfdyxsxr3z4i7ta/gradle-8.2/lib/agents/gradle-instrumentation-agent-8.2.jar org.gradle.launcher.daemon.bootstrap.GradleDaemon 8.2 (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
