Birthdays
This application is a birthday reminder which its job is to take user's input birthday and notifying a day before the birthday. User can separate person in 3 types of groups (Family, friend, work). With this feature, user can filter birthdays in the main page.
Motivation
I always forget everyone's birthday so it came to my mind to make an app which reminds me their birthday. Also I wanted to try doing better in MVVM and using new libraries.
What I learned
I tried my best to make this app with all I know about MVVM architecture and kotlin language. In this application I learned about DI and used hilt as dependency injection library, view binding, work manager (which couldn't help me in this app, so I deleted the codes; But I learned it) and also did my best to write more readable, extendable and reuseable code. The features I used in this app are:
- MVVM architecture
- Hilt library for DI
- Navigation component with single activity architecture
- RxJava 2 as an asynchronous programming
- Room database
- Lottie, shimmer, circle image view, glide, and simple crop view libs.
Coming soon
- Showing incoming birthdays within a week
- Ability to add new groups with other colors
- Showing a monthly calendar for birthdays which has a better visual experience
- Ability o make a profile in order to sync datas with server
- New feature called "Birthday card" which user can say any greetings they want among assumptions, then choosing one of the wallpapers, and sending the card to people.
