When building the project, this error appears..

Could not HEAD 'https://jitpack.io/com/github/barteksc/android-pdf-viewer/3.2.0-beta.1/android-pdf-viewer-3.2.0-beta.1.pom'. Received status code 401 from server: Unauthorized

How can I solve this problem please?

[vipulyaara]

I just checked out the project in a new directory and it worked fine. Maybe this thread can help DImuthuUpe/AndroidPdfViewer#1206

[vipulyaara]

I can reproduce it after clearing the system-wide gradle cache. It's fixed in the new commit on develop. Everything should work now.

Now the code is working.. Thank you.. I have one last question.. How do you control the books and categories that appear on the homepage?

[vipulyaara]

The homepage is maintained on a CMS on Firebase. It can be configured differently for each country.

[William45-coder]

Can you share how to set that up?
If possible.

[vipulyaara]

Homepage is built using a combination of manually curated items and algorithms for user recommendations and trending content based on user analytics. You can set up a Firebase project with a Firestore collection called homepage and host these items (for manually curated content). The item schema can be found in the file HomepageResponse.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to host your own homepage?

[William45-coder]

I'm a beginner in the field, and I was working on a project for a movies and series app using TheMovieDB API. I wanted to understand how to create a homepage that I can control without the need to create a dedicated dashboard.

[vipulyaara]

Then you probably don't need a homepage like Kafka. I suggest you look at TiVi. It uses Trakt and TMDB to fetch movies and TV shows, exactly the same use case as yours.

If you still want a manually curated homepage, try some tutorials on Firebase or other backend services. Firebase has GUI so it's easy to edit for non-technical people.

Thank you very much. I think this nomination is very appropriate.
