Learning

This project was my first deeper experience with Kotlin and local storage on Android. I learned how to design UI components following Android guidelines and integrate them with persistent data using SQLite.

Difficulties

One of the main challenges was handling database migrations and ensuring the app remained stable when the schema evolved. Another difficulty was managing the lifecycle of activities to avoid crashes when switching between views.
