Software Methodology App

Agile Development • 2024 • Course Project

Overview

A team-based mobile app project built using Agile methodology, starting with a React JSX prototype and ending with a fully functional Android Studio app.
Role: Frontend Developer, UI Translator
Tools: React, Android Studio, Figma, GitHub, Agile Sprints

Problem

This project challenged our team to follow full software development lifecycle practices to build a working application. The primary difficulty was translating component logic and layout from React into Android Studio, where design conventions and tooling differ. Maintaining consistency across platforms while delivering usable features under time constraints was a core challenge.

My Approach

Developed React components and interface logic for the initial web prototype

Worked with teammates to transition UI/UX into Android Studio using XML and fragments

Refactored styles, spacing, and logic to meet Android conventions while preserving brand feel

Participated in weekly sprint planning, task division, and code reviews

Tested key user flows to ensure parity between platforms and caught multiple usability issues during translation

UX Decisions

Component layouts adapted to fit Android's Material Design guidelines
Text and icon sizes adjusted for better mobile legibility and tap targets
Navigation logic matched platform norms while maintaining user expectations from the React prototype

Final Build

Fully functional Android app built and tested within a 5-week Agile cycle. Project included Git-based collaboration, weekly deliverables, and final presentation of working demo. Core user flows mirrored the React prototype, including onboarding and task completion features.

Reflection

This project gave me firsthand experience in translating between platforms and collaborating through Agile sprints. I learned how crucial communication is in team workflows—and how much interface polish relies on thoughtful design consistency across frameworks.
