Client for Lenta.ru for Android
Often I read Lenta.ru news in the subway. Headlines from their RSS feed are not enough, and reading full articles in the browser is not very convenient. There was a decent client in the Android Market, but I wanted to write a simpler and easier to navigate application. Perhaps someone from the community will be interested.
The main screen of the application accumulates news from the RSS feed of the publication and shows the last 40 articles. Articles are cached completely (including the text of the article from the site), so it is enough to update once and read the news in the subway. After downloading all the articles, the client downloads small sketches that give an idea of the contents of a particular article. Unlike texts, pictures for articles are loaded as a user accesses them. If you are not interested in any article, you simply will not open it and save traffic on downloading the picture.

New and read articles are highlighted for clarity. There is the possibility of adjusting the font size for readability. You can also share any article with friends.
To reduce the cost of traffic, in the settings, you can disable loading thumbnails and / or images. If you need to free up some space on the SD card, you can clear the cache (thumbnails and images) directly from the application.
The program is free and available in the Android Market. Summarizing, we can note the following features:
