currencyconverter's Introduction

Currency Converter App for Android

General Info

This app allows users to fetch data from the Frankfurter currency exchange API and store it locally for offline use. I encountered the need for such an app, so I made it to learn Kotlin and Android development.

Availability

The app is currently not available for download. I plan to publish it for free once it has sufficient functionality and thorough testing.

Features

  • Offline
    • Check exchange values for selected currencies
    • Select currencies from those already added
    • Remove currencies from the list
  • Online
    • Add new currencies available in the Frankfurter API
    • Search for currencies to add by code and name

Showcase

Converting currency values yields results quickly.

AnimationOne

The screen showing available currencies clearly displays the selected options.

AnimationTwo

Technology

  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • Coroutines
  • Ktor

API Integration

To reduce data transfer, only new exchange rates are fetched when a user adds a new currency. Future plans include adding a condition to refresh the entire exchange rate table only once a day, aligning with the Frankfurter database update schedule.

Conclusion

This is personal project aimed at enhancing my coding skills and knowledge. It's not intended as a finished product but rather a learning tool. Your feedback is valuable for my growth, but please note that changes and improvements are ongoing as I continue to learn.
