It lets users sign up, log in, and customize their profiles while connecting with others through real-time chat and post sharing. Users can follow or unfollow others, like, comment on, and save posts—offering an engaging and interactive experience.\n\nThe app is developed using Java/XML in Android Studio, with Firebase Realtime Database and Firebase Authentication handling the backend. It also makes use of Android Architecture Components to maintain a clean and scalable structure. This project helped me understand the full flow of a social media app, from user authentication to data handling and real-time interactions.\n\n## Features\n\n- **User Authentication**\n\n  - Email/Password Sign Up and Sign In\n  - Google Sign In integration\n  - Secure user profile management\n\n- **Social Features**\n\n  - Create and share posts with text and images\n  - Like and comment on posts\n  - View friends' posts in a feed\n  - Find and add new friends\n  - View and manage your friend list\n\n- **Messaging**\n\n  - Real-time chat functionality\n  - One-on-one messaging\n  - Message history and notifications\n\n- **Profile Management**\n\n  - Customizable user profiles\n  - Profile picture upload\n  - View and edit personal information\n  - Manage account settings\n\n- **Content Management**\n  - Create and share posts\n  - View your own posts\n  - Interact with others' content\n  - Image cropping and optimization\n\n## Technical Stack\n\n- **Frontend**\n\n  - Android SDK\n  - Material Design components\n  - Navigation Component\n  - Picasso for image loading\n  - CircleImageView for profile pictures\n\n- **Backend**\n  - Firebase Authentication\n  - Firebase Realtime Database\n  - Firebase Storage\n  - Firebase Cloud Firestore\n  - Firebase Cloud Messaging\n  - Firebase Analytics\n\n## Setup Instructions\n\n1. Clone the repository\n2. Open the project in Android Studio\n3. Add your `google-services.json` file to the `app` directory\n4. Sync the project with Gradle files\n5. Build and run the application\n\n## Dependencies\n\nThe project uses several key dependencies:\n\n- Firebase SDKs for authentication, database, storage, and messaging\n- AndroidX libraries for modern Android development\n- Material Design components\n- Navigation Component for fragment management\n- Picasso for image loading\n- Firebase UI for database operations\n- Image cropping library\n- Stories progress view for UI components\n\n## Project Structure\n\n- `MainActivity.java` - Main application activity\n- `SplashScreenActivity.java` - Initial loading screen\n- `RegisterActivity.java` - User registration flow\n- `ChatActivity.java` - Messaging interface\n- `PersonActivity.java` - User profile view\n- Various Fragments for different features:\n  - `HomeFragment.java` - Main feed\n  - `ProfileFragment.java` - User profile\n  - `FriendsFragment.java` - Friends list\n  - `FindFriendsFragment.java` - Friend discovery\n  - `PostFragment.java` - Post creation\n  - `MyPostsFragment.java` - User's posts\n  - `SettingsFragment.java` - Application settings\n\n## Demo\n\nhttps://appetize.io/app/q3g294nb7ymgy3a94wn8meky4w?device=nexus5\u0026scale=75\u0026osVersion=8.1\u0026toolbar=true\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbaala3%2Fconnectify","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbaala3%2Fconnectify","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbaala3%2Fconnectify/lists"}
