Javenture - Android Household Inventory App

A team software engineering project for a Firebase-backed Android household inventory application.

Problem / goal

Household inventory tracking needs fast item entry, photo management, scan-based lookup, sorting, filtering, and reliable persistence across authenticated users.

My role

Android developer in a team software engineering project.

What I personally contributed

• Implemented inventory item flows using Android fragments, RecyclerView lists, ViewModel-style state management, and repository classes.
• Integrated Firebase Authentication, Firestore item persistence, and Firebase Storage image upload/delete workflows.
• Contributed UI tests for add/edit item, photo, scanning, sorting/filtering, multi-selection, and login behaviours.

Technical approach

• Implemented inventory item flows using Android fragments, RecyclerView-based item lists, ViewModel-style state management, and repository classes.
• Integrated Firebase Authentication, Firestore-backed item persistence, and Firebase Storage image upload/delete flows.
• Contributed UI tests for add/edit item, photo, scanning, sorting/filtering, multi-selection, and user login behaviors.

Key features

• Authenticated household item storage.
• Image upload and delete workflows.
• Barcode, serial number, camera, and photo support.
• Sorting, filtering, multi-selection, and total estimated value features.
• UI test coverage for core user flows.

Impact / results

• Delivered a working team Android app with Firebase integration and tested inventory workflows.
• Supported practical item management features including scanning, filtering, and value aggregation.

What I learned

• Android apps stay maintainable when UI state, repository logic, and Firebase integration are separated clearly.
• UI testing is valuable for scan, camera, and form flows that are easy to break during feature work.
