This summer we worked on Fossasia's Open Event Android Project. Our goal was to create a generalized events App and publish it on play store. Which we successfully accomplished, Open Event Android can be found on playstore with the name of EventYay Attendee.
With EventYay Attendee, you can browse through different events happening nearby or all over the world. You can get detailed information about the events and can even buy event tickets. The app also offers other cool features such as similar events and easy check-in using QR code. If that’s not enough, the app also allows you to favorite different events and all of them can be accessed from favorite section.
Eventyay Attendee App provides features for users like:-
- All events by the organizers can be viewed
- Functionality to filter out events by date, time, location and event name is present.
- Users can buy tickets and register as attendees for any event from the App.
- All important event details such as location, date and timing of the event can be viewed.
- Users will be able to view all the tickets bought for an event.
- Easy check-in using QR code for Ticket
- Users can view similar events in the App
- Users have also the privilege to favorite events in the App
The codebase of Open Event Android is written in Kotlin and it is following the MVVM architecture. We are using Retrofit Library for making network request, RxJava for asynchornous call and room for local caching.
