└── README.mdThe dashboard displays the user’s main financial summary:
- Current balance
- Total income
- Total expenses
- Recent transactions
- Clean metric cards
- Modern glass-style UI components
The add transaction screen allows users to enter:
- Transaction title
- Amount
- Category
- Transaction type
- Date
- Notes or description
It supports validation, editing, and smooth navigation.
The transaction list gives users a clear view of their financial activity with transaction details, categories, and amounts.
The app uses Room Database for local offline data persistence.
Example transaction model:
@Entity(
tableName = "transactions",
indices = [
Index(value = ["timestamp"]),
Index(value = ["type"])
]
)
data class Transaction(
@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
val id: Int = 0,
val title: String,
val amount: Double,
val category: String,
val type: String,
val timestamp: Long,
val note: String? = null
