ANDROID APPLICATION FOR STUDENTS’ PERSONAL FINANCES

Abstract

College students often deal with multiple challenges at the same time, from academic exercises to personal finances. To help students to manage their personal finances, this thesis aims to create a simple Android application that records and analyses students’ daily expenses. Unlike commercial finance application on the Google Play Store, the application created in this thesis is totally free. This is reasonable because students have considerable need of a high-quality finance management tool, but their budget is too limited to afford commercial application. Throughout the theoretical, basic Android components, the Model-View-ViewModel architecture, dependency injection, and Room library were explained. The outcome indicated that the Android development is a time-consuming and frustrated process. This thesis also how a simple Android application is developed with good architecture practices.
