Overview

An Android application that is my first large and comprehensive project developed with kotlin , a shoe store app named NikeStore. This was the final project of the Android course from the 7Learn website, featuring elements like banners, a shopping cart, user accounts, and other features, developed following the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture.

Features

• Banner: Highlights special discounts and new products. Banners are prominently displayed on the homepage to encourage users to purchase specific discounted products.

• Bottom Navigation: Provides easy navigation between different sections of the app. This navigation helps users easily switch between sections such as Home, Categories, Cart, and Profile.
