How to connect REST API and output to template (ribbon) in Android Studio?

Question

Android

I made a hybrid application (webview) for the monitoring service, it works, but there are a whole bunch of nuances and, of course, it is not perfect. My task is to make several screens:

- main: displaying arrays of 3 pieces with different data under different headings
- search: accordingly we implement the search by API
- profile: settings for the user profile and display of notifications

REST API is already ready, based on it, an iOS application was assembled. There is documentation. In general, all data is prepared for output as much as possible, so on the application side you do not need to write a bunch of processing, filter and separate / count something.

Question for those in the know, but is it very difficult to connect the API and display it all in the feed? How to make a feed with automatic loading? I read articles, it is understandable but very vague, for me this is now very new. I sort of figured out how to connect the API, but how to display the lines I need and form a material output template?
