College Connect is an Android application aimed to be a one stop shop for all the college needs irrespective of college and course.
It aims to create a helpful plateform for all college students
It uses Firebase and SQLite to store and display the information to user
The app uses Material UI for an attractive interface (subject to improvement) which attracts user to stay on the app for more time and is available in both Light and Dark mode
This idea was developed for Ideathon held in BVCOE, New Delhi where it was presented to be a college app for BVCOE
Later it was converted to be a third party app for every college and course in India
The app is primarily in Java and is tighly coupled as it was developed as a project to learn Android Development. If anyone wishes to contibute in the migration of the application to MVVM architecture please contact the repo Maintainers as we'd be more than happy to port to MVVM
The app has an integrated Attendence Manager which uses SQLite Databse to store and retrieve data and display it in a graphical manner which looks appealing and easy to look at and convenient to track your attendance
The Notes tab provides notes uploaded by students. The recycler view shows the name of the author
with total no. of downloads and relevant tags
The upload notes area provide for easy upload of notes by users. It takes the authors name to give credit to the uploader
The no. of downloads will encourage students to make more impressive notes and create a sense of healthy competition
This feature allows user to upload the image of timetable from memory. It stores the image in SQLite Database so that it works even without internet connectivity

First time contributors can read CONTRIBUTING.md file for help regarding creating issues and sending pull requests.
We have the following branches
- development
All development goes on in this branch. If you're making a contribution, you are supposed to make a pull request to development. For PRs to be accepted to development branch they must pass a build check and a unit-test check following which an apk will be generated under action artifacts for testing. - master
This contains shipped code. After significant features/bugfixes are accumulated on development, we make a version update and make a release.
Please help us follow the best practices to make it easy for the reviewer as well as the contributor. We want to focus on the code quality more than on managing pull request ethics.
- Single commit per pull request
- Reference the issue numbers in the commit message. Follow the pattern Fixes #
- Follow uniform design practices. The design language must be consistent throughout the app.
- The pull request will not get merged until and unless the commits are squashed. In case there are multiple commits on the PR, the commit author needs to squash them and not the maintainers cherrypicking and merging squashes.
- If the PR is related to any front end change, please attach relevant screenshots in the pull request description.
- Before you join development, please set up the project on your local machine, run it and go through the application completely. Press on any button you can find and see where it leads to. Explore. (Don't worry ... Nothing will happen to the app or to you due to the exploring 😉 You'll be more familiar with what is where and might even get some cool ideas on how to improve various aspects of the app.)
- If you would like to work on an issue, drop in a comment at the issue. If it is already assigned to someone, but there is no sign of any work being done, please free to drop in a comment so that the issue can be assigned to you if the previous assignee has dropped it entirely.
