Car Swapper Android application made for HCI
I developed this prototype as an android application using Android Studio. It is designed to allow users to trade vehicles with each other, the current iteration uses a local databse to function. The target demographic is anyone who would is looking to sell their vehicle and purchase a new one. The goal of this app is to help indivisuals who can't afford to buy a new car while they still have their old one. It also prevents people from having to trade into dealerships, which you can lose a lot of value on.
You can run the application either on an emulator, or on an android phone if you have one. I know could potentially be a hassle, but this is the only way to run it. Also please make sure your device in on light theme instead of dark theme.
