A journal application where in users can pen down their thoughts and feelings.

Andela Journal-App

Journal App is a simple application where in users can pen down their thoughts and feelings. The user clicks on a button which takes the user a screen where the user can add an activity and the user can also update an activity by clicking on the item that needs to be updated.

The app uses the MVVM Architecture. I have used the following components for development:

• Room - For offline data persistence
• LiveData - Handle data in a lifecycle-aware fashion
• ViewModel - Manage your UI's data in a lifecycle-aware fashion
• ButterKnife - minimize the glue code necessary to bind your application logic and layouts
• Firebase – Handles user’s authentication.

The final apk can be downloaded here: https://github.com/jbankz/ALC-JournalApp/blob/master/Apk/app-debug.apk
