PukaPuka comes from the Maori word for ‘Book’.\n#### The app was also an example to showcase the various design patterns used in an Android app.\n\n\n#### [Checkout the presentation](https://www.slideshare.net/DevanshMaurya/pukapuka-presentation)\n#### [Detailed Report (PDF)](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1C2GzC1R36ZzM7iOpnSlr0cWrwtR1iE9d)\n\n## How it works?\n* The app uses Firebase **ML Kit’s Text Recognition API** to recognize text from the image captured using device camera.\n* The text extracted from the image is then filtered to remove unwanted information.\n* The filtered text is then used to make a GET request to **Google Books API** to get a list of relevant books.\n* The user can then click on an image that suits best with the scanned book cover and get information about it.\n\n## Screenshots\n| Home Screen  | Scanning the book |\n| ------------- | ------------- |\n| ![](https://github.com/Devansh-Maurya/PukaPuka/blob/master/screenshots/home.png)  | ![](https://github.com/Devansh-Maurya/PukaPuka/blob/master/screenshots/book_scanning.png)  |\n\n| Matching books list  | Book details |\n| ------------- | ------------- |\n| ![](https://github.com/Devansh-Maurya/PukaPuka/blob/master/screenshots/books_list.png)  | ![](https://github.com/Devansh-Maurya/PukaPuka/blob/master/screenshots/book_details.png)  |\n\n## Technologies Used\n\n* **Kotlin** as the main programming language\n* **MVVM** architecture pattern using the Android Architecture Components\n* **LiveData, ViewModel**\n* **Navigation Components** for simplified navigations\n* **CameraKit** for using camera functionalities\n* **Firebase ML Kit Text Recognition API** for extracting text from the image\n* **Glide** image loading library\n* **Volley** networking library for making network requests\n* **Lottie** for adding animations\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FDevansh-Maurya%2FPukaPuka","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FDevansh-Maurya%2FPukaPuka","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FDevansh-Maurya%2FPukaPuka/lists"}
