An app created as a fulfillment of a university assignment. It is capable of fetching random user information from the random user API, and displaying a list of users which were fetched so far. It also has a QR code scanner feature, which will display a user profile if it scans a QR code which contains the username of a user.
- Open project in Android Studio
- You may need to sync Gradle dependencies in case that's not done automagically
- Build
- ???
- Profit
(it really should justwerk)
If it doesn't justwerk - make sure you use latest bleeding edge Android Studio. Don't forget to git clean -xfdf.
The build was tested using this particular Emulator config:
- Pixel 4
- API 33
- Android Tiramisu x86_64
To give this junk the best chance of actually working you probably want to have this too.
The following tasks have been implemented:
- SQLite-based database for users
- Saves users
- Loads users
- Can delete users
- Accessing the random user API
- Deserializing JSON from API responses
- Using camera to scan QR codes using zxing library
- A user list screen, which lists users from database, sorted by creation date
- On this screen, you may generate a random user one at a time using "Generate Random User" button
- A detailed user card triggered by a QR code scan, displaying all information about a user
- A "settings" screen which contains the following buttons:
- A "Flush Database" button, which deletes all users in the database
- A "Seed Database" button, which creates ten (10) random users fetched from the random user API
Liberties/Alternatives taken:
- This uses normal camera instead of AR view
- User details are displayed on a separate screen rather than in AR
- Build was only tested on Linux using latest bleeding-edge Android Studio
- UI in general is really wonky and quickly slapped together. I am not very good at making UIs (unless it's HTML + CSS).
- Core features should work and were tested
This project at some point used HelloArKotlin example, and some of its code may have not been completely cleaned up when I switched away from AR. See copyright notices in respective files.
