Smart safe

Developed to provide the cleanest way to track expenses by category and time. It was aimed for a very specific target group: students. Therefore one of the main focus of the project was to keep it as simple and visual as posible, restricting other unnecessary features which other similar applications have.

Volley

To retrieve the data from the database. It uses an API provided by the uni at the time, so although it is not active anymore the dynamics remain the same for analogous database interactions.

Charts

In order to visualize the tracked data to ease the comprehension of the expenses made by the user, it was decided to represent these in two types of charts:

  • Pie charts: to represent the proportion of the expenses per predefined categories and time: day, week, month
  • Bar charts: to view how much money has been spent on each category in respect to the configured monthly budget.
