Saving your ample hours of designing and developing the Android UI being our goal, We now present to you the news feed app screen with the detailed process.
Step 01 :
Create a new project in Android Studio from the File ⇒ New Project. As it prompts you to select the default activity, select Empty Activity and proceed.
Name your project as per your convenience and click finish.
Download this res.zip and add them to your project res folder. This file contains a few drawable images and font folder required for this app.
Now that we are done with the images, moving on to changing the text font. For this, we would need to add a custom font in our directory and asset folder as well. find custom fonts folder and asset folder and paste it under the java. Here is a reference image for custom fonts folder

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.2.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:29.0.2'
implementation 'androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0'
}Open colors.xml located under res ⇒ values and add the below color values.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Step 03 :
Now is the time for making the XML file. For this, Open activity_main.xml and paste the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
