Key Challenges

• Integration with external APIs to understand the API's documentation, authentication methods, and data formats to integrate them into the application.
• User interface design to input users' starting and ending locations, select transportation modes, and view routes and schedules while they travel.
• Complex algorithms to calculate the fastest or most efficient traveling route based on multiple factors such as distance, time, transportation options, and traffic conditions.
• Storing and retrieving traveling data like user preferences, route history, and other data using local data storage such as SQLite, SharedPreferences, or Room, or cloud-based storage such as Firebase to store and retrieve data.
• Testing and debugging journey planner to test different scenarios and edge cases to ensure your app works correctly. Tools used are Android Studio's debugger, emulators, and automated testing frameworks such as Espresso to test your app thoroughly.
