The problem KtuPlanner solves

KtuPlanner gives live notifications as soon as they post the notifications.The app also has a feature to DOWNLOAD the circulars posted by Ktu through our app's Notification Section hence reducing the communication gap between university and the future engineers.
The app also allows to set targets and reminders to accomplish our goals through our app's Plans Section hence giving students a refined result.
The app has a huge archive of quality notes to study , saving them hours of note huunting and organizing through our app's Notes Section.
The app has a group chat portal called ChitChat which will allow all the KTU students across kerala who has our app, increasing their chances of getting news, notifications and more oppurtunities.
Hence KtuPlanner will be a handy tool for KTU students to reach academic and extracurricular heights.

Challenges I ran into

Making Plans section went on smoothly.

But, while building notification scetion of our app, API integration was tricky and the packages I used for the same were mostly incompatible . So I had to edit build gradle and android manifest a number of times. While introducing the downloadable feature app reached a humongous size and Isolved it by refactoring code systematically.

While making chitchat section of app the messages were out of orde as it appeared in the screen.I solved it by configuring firebase to include an extra time field. Then I sorted the message in descending order of time hence solving the issue smoothly.
