Pocket Help

Inspiration

To build an app for HackingEDU Hackathon that combines the Chegg, Course hero and possibly Wolfram Alpha APIs into one useful app for students that also has some tools like class time management and GPA calculator.

What it does

Currently it functionally doesn't do anything due to my lack of experience with REST api calls in java, but the framework for the UI and activities are there.

How I built it

I used android studio

Challenges I ran into

REST api calls in java and the lack of time

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Actually making something that doesn't crash

What I learned

Developing an android app that is aesthetically useful with good animations is difficult. I should've used fragments for my activities instead of the default type.

What's next for Pocket Help

To hopefully implement the REST api calls and redo the user interface with fragments.
