Shoe Store Inventory App

An application designed to record the inventory for a shoe store, that implements Jetpack Navigation, ViewModels and LiveData with data binding.

The app consists of five screens:

1. A login screen for the user to enter sign in credentials (note - this version of the app does not have authentication features).
2. A welcome screen that simulates a successful sign in.
3. A user guide page, detailing instructions on how to use the app.
4. A shoe list screen to display the list of shoes the user has added to the inventory.
5. A shoe detail screen for adding a new shoe to the inventory.

Technical features

• single Activity application, uses a Fragment to represent each screen
• all views are inflated using data binding and fields are populated with bound data
• uses Jetpack Navigation to manage the flow of screens through the app and the back stack
• shoe list and new shoe entry screens use a shared ViewModel to save and display shoes
• shoe list is wrapped in a LiveData object
• shoe list screen observes the list of shoes and creates the shoe list when the list is updated by the shoe entry screen

Ideas for further development

• Add an authentication layer to manage user access
• Add a persistence layer to store the added items between app uses
• Use RecyclerView for more performant display of the list of shoes
• Allow editing and deleting of existing list items
• Allow user to upload images for each shoe
