Inspiration

Out of all items in your dorm, how many do you use on daily basis? For me, 30% is an overestimate. Flea Market is the solution to make the unused items valuable again.

What it does

Flea Market is, like the name suggested, a second-hand product database built exclusively for U of R students. It allows people to sell items they don't use anymore for a price and buy second-hand products at a discounted rate.

Key features:

  • User Authentication (in progress)
  • List products to sell
  • Browser available products in the market

Key Benefits:

  • Saves money and energy wasted in shipping
  • Save the human resources wasted in the Campus Mail Center
  • Reducing the amount of trash student creates: Your garbagy could be someone's treasure. Don't simply throw it away!
  • Earn some extra pocket money back!
  • Buy things you need at a discount rate!

How I built it

I implemented the Room Database and Recycle View in Android Studio

Challenges I ran into

  • Room Database @Dao was not working; Couldn't figure out

Accomplishments that I am proud of

  • Provide a sustainable solution for the UR community!

What I learned

  • There's a lot of details to take care of when building the app.

What's next for Flea Market

  • continue adding features like user authentication, search by category and improve the design and user experience
