Classtune - Android

Working on the Android app of Classtune, I contributed to developing and maintaining core features that powered communication and learning within schools. Built in Java, the app connected to Classtune’s backend APIs to display assignments, attendance records, class notices, and chat updates in real time. I focused on improving performance and UI consistency across the vast Android device ecosystem prevalent at that time, while also assisting in publishing and post-release maintenance. Key Contributions: - Implemented key screens and components in Java with Android SDK (pre-Material Design era). - Integrated HTTPClient / JSON parsing to communicate with backend APIs. - Designed custom list adapters and fragments for assignment, attendance, and chat features. - Managed background services for periodic sync and push notifications via Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). - Debugged and optimized performance for low-end devices common in South Asia.
