Inspiration

To learn using list view and database in android and to complete the challenge of making an app to send a message.

What it does

Users can save contacts (name, email id, phone number) and can make calls, emails, and SMS from the app.

How we built it

This app is built in android studio.

Challenges we ran into

how to store the contacts was a challenge as I haven't learned to use a database until now, I have learned to use it for this project. The proper exchange of data between activities took a few tries to finally get right.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The challenge of making an app to send a message is completed, and the app can do more than just send messages.

What we learned

I learned a lot of new things while working on this app, such as Many New Intents (Email, Dial, SMS, etc), How to take user permission in-app, how to store data from the app, etc.

What's next for BasicContacts

I want to add the feature of setting profile pictures of contacts which I couldn't implement yet due to lack of knowledge on the matter. I also want to add the feature to save social media links along with contacts in the app in the future.
