# Event Management Frontend

The Event Management Frontend is a native Android application developed in
Kotlin. This app provides a comprehensive calendar-based event management
system designed for seamless user interaction.

This project was created as the final assignment for **AP7PD** and **AP7MP** subjects.

It integrates with a custom backend REST API to manage users, events,
attendees, and categories effectively.

## Overview / Key Features

- **Monthly Calendar View**: View events in a grid layout by weeks and days.
- **Daily View**: Easily browse and manage daily events.
- **Event Management**: Create, edit, and delete events with support for categories and attendees.
- **User Authentication**: Register and log in with robust access and refresh
  token support, ensuring secure and seamless user sessions.
- **Error Handling**: Gracefully handles API errors, including scenarios where
  the backend is unreachable.

## Backend requirements

The application requires a running backend API for full functionality. The
backend is implemented using FastAPI in Python.

You can find the source code and detailed deployment instructions for the
backend API at: [Event Management Backend
Repository](https://git.itsdrike.com/ap7pd/event-management-backend).

> [!TIP]
> The app supports dynamic configuration of the API base URL, allowing you to
> deploy the backend on any server or cloud provider of your choice. If you
> wish to test the app from android studio, you can deploy the backend locally
> (<http://localhost:8000>) and set the base URL to `http://10.0.2.2:8000`.
> This will allow the Android emulator to access the local backend server. Note
> that this is also the default value.
