Birthday-Reminder

A personal project. Android app built in Java using the db4o open-source database.

Currently porting project from desktop to Android platform.
Still in early stages of development.

Details

The purpose of this app is to be a sort of bridge between a contacts app and a connections platform. Features will include: reminding users when birthdays of family and friends are approaching, all the necessary functions for a contacts app, etc.. Special features are planned and will be released as fundamentals are built. This program implements Actian’s “embeddable open source object database for Java and .NET developers.” Planning to expand functionality after building basic mobile app for ANDROID (takes advantage of notifications and other platform-dependent functions).

Contributing

• Be sure to refer to projects section of repo. This is where most information will be kept and where all tasks will be organized.
• As features are built and bugs are fixed, notes on the project boards will be converted to issues as appropriate.
• When editing program, make sure to change the path of the file in Main.java to a text file you create on your computer. Data is hosted locally!

Note: The above will change once coding for Android is done. Development of this app has been stopped for desktops.
