PedalPals - Bike Rental App

Project Overview

PedalPals is a mobile-based bike rental application that allows users to search, book, and manage bike rentals seamlessly. It also enables administrators to efficiently manage bike inventory and track transactions. The app offers a scalable and user-friendly interface with real-time booking and payment functionalities.

Features

• User Registration & Login: Secure authentication with support for social logins.
• Bike Search & Booking: Users can search for bikes by location, type, and real-time availability.
• Booking Management: View active bookings, rental history, and manage ongoing rentals.
• Admin Dashboard: Admins can manage the bike inventory, monitor user activity, and generate detailed reports.
• Transaction Management: Track payment history and transaction records for both users and admins.
• Vehicle Listing: Users can list their own bikes for rent on the platform.

User Flow

1. Login/Signup: Users can either log in or create a new account.
2. Main Menu: Search for bikes by applying filters (e.g., location, type).
3. Booking: Choose rental duration, provide payment details, and confirm the booking.
4. Payment Confirmation: Users receive confirmation with booking details after payment.
5. Transaction History: Users can view their past transactions and rental history.

UI Design

• Simple, User-Friendly Interface: The app is designed with a clean and intuitive layout to ensure easy navigation.
• Layouts: The app uses XML layout files such as activity_login.xml, activity_register.xml, and activity_booking.xml for different screens.
• Key UI Elements:
  • Input fields for user login, registration, and bike search.
  • ListView to display bikes based on user preferences.
  • Buttons for actions like "Search Bikes," "Book Bike," and "View Bookings."
  • Navigation drawer for easy access to user profile, booking history, and settings.

Architecture

The app follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture:

• Model: Handles data storage and retrieval (e.g., user information, bike details, transaction records).
• View: The user interface components, such as MainActivity, AdminMenu, and Signup.
• Controller: Manages the logic of the app, with files like AdminLogin, GetRide, and TransactionDetails handling user input and interactions between the model and view.

SQLite Integration

• Local Storage: SQLite is used for managing local data (e.g., user details, bike availability, and booking history).
• CRUD Operations: Efficient data manipulation through Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations.
• Offline Support: The app supports offline functionality, storing data locally and syncing it with the cloud once the device is online.
