An Android app for managing student and department notices, uploads, and authentication for a college environment.
College Department Management is an Android application designed to streamline communication and information sharing between students and college departments. The app allows departments to upload notices (as images or PDFs) and students to view, search and download them. The app supports user authentication for both students and department staff, leveraging Firebase for authentication and real-time data storage.
- Student Authentication: Students can sign up and log in to view department notices.
- Department Login: Secure login for department staff to upload new notices.
- Notice Upload: Departments can upload images and PDFs as notices, along with title and description.
- Notice Feed: Students view a searchable, scrollable list of notices, sorted by upload time.
- Download Support: Students can download notices to their device.
- Detail View: Tap on a notice to view full details (title, image/pdf, description).
- Real-time Database: Uses Firebase Realtime Database and Storage for storing user data and uploaded files.
- Modern UI: Material Design components, CardViews, and custom UI for an engaging experience.
