Learn new words! 🧠

The idea of the application came from the need to facilitate the process of memorizing new words 💡. Of course, there were many similar applications before that, but it seemed to be more convenient to use my own one 👨🏻💻.
The main screen of the app is an endless stack of cards with words, input fields, hints, and some control buttons 🎛.
All this things works with the ViewPager using the ViewPager.PageTransformer and InfiniteViewPager libraries 📚.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a good way to delete a single ViewPager element, or dynamically change it, so every such time I have to recreate the ViewPagerAdapter 😪, but it doesn't take much time, since the number of visible View's on the screen is only 3. Therefore, instantiateItem() is called exactly that many times. 🤗
Of course, I tried using
ViewPager2withRecyclerView.Adapter, but the visual response and performance did not meet the required level, so I had to leave the oldViewPager😕
If the user enters a correct or incorrect answer, the text input field changes its color to green or red, and also plays an animation. You can also just peek at the translation without entering anything. 👋
Also, in future updates, you will be able to voice the words. 🔊
At the bottom of the screen there is a slider for easy scrolling of cards and also a button for shuffling words. 🤩
For convenience, all words are divided into groups, so you can save your words separately and learn only what you need, and also the app will automatically create a group of all words. You can open the list of all groups directly under the app name. ⚡️
To make working with the app seem airy 🌬, I specifically didn't create a lot of Activity, instead, BottomSheetDialog was most often used 🤠
An important part of the app is the notifications that will be sent every day at the user's chosen time from pre-marked words. ⌚️
The time can be selected either at a certain interval or manually, so this method is perfect.🥰
Also, due to too much content, I had to create a new Activity for this. 🥸
In the app settings 🎚, there are 2 buttons for both importing and exporting a group of words. The group that is always selected at the moment is exported to the Slovíčky folder in the internal memory of the phone in the form .zip archive 👽. To import words, a new Activity with a file manager was also created, where only the folders and .zip files are visible. 👀
As a result, I can say that I was able to achieve all the goals set before the creation, and even more of that 🥳! I am especially happy with the design and stability of the app 🤯. And most importantly, I have gained a lot of experience in working on it for several months 👨🏻🎓.
