I need an Android-only application that converts currencies using live, real-time exchange rates and lets users compare multiple currencies side-by-side on a single screen. The core of the project is the API integration that keeps rates current every time the app is opened; please factor in automatic refresh intervals and graceful handling of network errors. A clean, lightweight Material-style interface is important, with intuitive input fields, a quick search for currency codes, and the comparison view reachable in one tap. Feel free to build in either Kotlin or Java; Android Studio is my preferred environment for the final project hand-off. Deliverables • Full Android Studio project with well-commented source code • Signed release APK and a debug build for testing • README outlining build steps, external libraries, and the exchange-rate API used Acceptance will be based on accurate live rates, smooth multi-currency comparison without noticeable lag, and passing installation on Android 8.0+.
