Notes & Password Manager: Objective

The document describes building an Android application that allows users to take notes and manage passwords. It involves setting up the development environment, connecting to Firebase for authentication and database functionality, and implementing features like login, home, note, and password screens. The home screen will display options for notes and passwords. Notes and passwords can be added, deleted, and updated. Firebase will store user login data and notes/password information. The goal is to create a single app for note taking and password management instead of using separate apps.

Notes & Password Manager

Overview
Objective
You will be creating an android application which helps to take notes at any time and helps
to generate a very strong password for the security of your account and makes them
available whenever you need. It's going to have two major functionalities at the same time.

Project Context
Password managing & note-taking are one of the most overlooked virtual activities in
today's digital age. Various companies are constantly adding new features to note-taking
and password management. Have you ever considered building your own note-taking and
password managing application?
So, instead of having and maintaining two different apps in your system, we'll be developing
a single app which can perform both of these activities.

Project Stages
The project consists of the following stages:
High-Level Approach
• The first task, once we get the development environment ready, will be to set up
Android Studio & Firebase.
• Once we have everything in place, we can start off with creating the application, which
will basically start with the login authentication.
• Next up is the home page building. In this project, we’ll be keeping it simple by
showing two options i.e Notes & Password.
• In our project, we’ll need to manage three states: Note (to manage notes data),
Password (to manage password data), and user (for managing the details of the
currently logged-in user).
• For showing all the notes or passwords, we’ll be using Listviews or recycleviews .
• Handling our database and authentication needs to be supported and we’ll be using
Firebase for the same. Basically, the database will be used to store the login
information for the users, but the resource can be used for storing notes and password
information as well.
• Successful implementation of the above requirements will lead to the completion of
the core implementation of our application. Next up, deploy!

Primary goals
• Create a login page for user login.
• Create a home page to display notes & password options.
• Create a note page to display all notes.
• Create a password page to display all passwords.
• Add functionalities like add note or password, delete note or password, and update
note (if required).

Task 1
Environment & Firebase setup
Before the start of any development procedure, we need to set up the environment
according to our application needs. Then connect your Android Studio with Firebase.

Requirements
• Install Android Studio on your machine.
• Install and set up JDK.
• Create a new Android project.
• Like any typical application, the source code of Java should be in a java folder and the
source code of XML should be in a res folder.
• Connect with Firebase.

References
• Download Android Studio
• Download JDK
• Create a new Android project
• Creating a virtual Android device on your machine
• A beginners guide to Gradle
• Run your Android application
• Connect your Android App to Firebase

Expected Outcome
The main objective of this milestone is to make sure that you have the required
development environment in place.
On completion of the above requirements, run the application using the virtual device
and the end result should be as shown in the picture below.
Task 2
Setting up Firebase and Authentication
Firebase is a great service provided by Google for configuring the backend of any
application with all the general necessities like database preparation, authentication using
various methods, etc. In this milestone, we’ll be preparing our database and setting up
authentication using email and password.
[Note: Use the references provided to implement the following requirements.]

Requirements
• Setup sign-in method using Email/Password.
• Declare the dependency for the Firebase Authentication Android library in your
module ( app-level ) Gradle file ( usually app/build.gradle ).

dependencies {
// Import from the Firebase platform
implementation
platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:26.3.0')
// Declare the dependency for the Firebase Authentication library
// When using the BoM, you don't specify versions in Firebase
library dependencies
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth'
}

• To use an authentication provider, you need to enable it in the Firebase console. Go to


the Sign-in Method page in the Firebase Authentication section to enable
Email/Password sign-in and any other identity providers you want for your app.
• Android has Material Components, which helps in building our frontend.
• Create a new activity named Login. Style the activity so that it looks similar to the one
shown below.

[Note: You are free to work on your own design. The above image can be used as a
reference.]

References
• Material Components for Android
• Get Started with Firebase Authentication on Android

Expected Outcome
You should be able to develop the Login feature of your application and also integrate
Firebase authentication for the same.

Task 3
Creating home activity
Now we will create an activity where there will be two options note and password.
• Style the activity so that it looks similar to the one shown below.

[Note: The above image might give you some inspiration to work on your own design.]

Creating note activity


Now we will create one more activity through which all the notes will be managed and
besides add, delete and update functionality should work.

Requirements
• We need a couple of icons like the navigation icon, note icon, and password icon.
• Create a new component called App-Bar in note activity.
• Add the necessary code in the xml and java files so that all the work is done accurately
as mentioned earlier.

References
• Material Components for Android
• Read and Write Data into Firebase Database

Tip
You can use Listview or Recycleview to show notes as mentioned earlier. Using Listview or
Recycleview, you can only show the title of the notes and after clicking on those titles, the
rest of the functionality can be done.

Expected Outcome
On completion of this milestone, the note manager of your application should look similar
to the one shown below.
Task 4
Creating password activity
Now we will create one more activity through which all the passwords will be managed and
besides add and delete functionality should work feasibly.

Requirements
• We need a couple of icons like the password icon and the add icon.
• Create a new component called App-Bar in password activity.
• Add the necessary code in the xml and java files so that all the work is done accurately
as mentioned earlier.
• Create a new function for generating password

public static String generateRandomPassword(int len) {


String chars = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghi"
+"jklmnopqrstuvwxyz!@#$%&";
Random rnd = new Random();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(len);
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
sb.append(chars.charAt(rnd.nextInt(chars.length())));
return sb.toString();
}

• You should create a new function that will measure the strength of any password.

References
• Material Components for Android
• Read and Write Data into Firebase Database

Tip
You can use Listview or Recycleview to show passwords like notes as mentioned earlier.
Using Listview or Recycleview you can only show the field name of the passwords and after
clicking on those field names, the rest of the functionality can be done.

Expected Outcome
On completion of this milestone, the password manager of your application should look
similar to the one shown below.
