Daily Wage Job Finder Android App

Millions of daily-wage workers find work through labor chowks and word of mouth — showing up at dawn hoping a contractor needs hands that day. No work means no pay, and there is no record of wages promised versus wages paid. General job portals ignore this segment entirely: they assume resumes, email IDs and English fluency. This project builds a job finder designed for how daily-wage work actually happens: hyperlocal listings (within a few km), daily wage stated upfront on every card, timing and distance visible before tapping, one-tap apply with no resume, and application tracking so the worker knows whether the contractor responded. Contractor verification badges and ratings add a layer of trust to an informal market. The demo ships with realistic listings across six work categories, a full job-detail flow with requirements, and an applications screen showing accepted and pending states.

1. The home feed loads today's listings near the worker's location, each card showing work title, contractor, wage, timing and distance.
2. Filter chips narrow the feed by work category; the list re-renders instantly.
3. Tapping a card opens the detail screen: full requirements, contractor verification status and rating, wage, timing and distance.
4. The Apply button sends the application to the contractor (demo: recorded locally with a pending status).
5. The confirmation screen explains what happens next — contractor response within ~2 hours via SMS and app notification.
6. The Applications tab lists every application with its current status, accepted ones showing start time.

Tech stack:

• Android (Kotlin) — native app target
• MVVM architecture
• REST API design (listings, applications, contractors)
• Location services (distance sorting)
• Push notifications + SMS fallback (status updates)

• [Hyperlocal job feed] Listings sorted by distance with wage, timing and distance on every card — the three facts a worker needs before anything else.
• [Work-type filters] One-tap chips for Construction, Painting, Loading, Farm, Shop and Security filter the feed instantly.
• [Upfront daily wage] Every listing states the per-day wage prominently; no "salary discussed later" listings allowed by design.
• [Job detail pages] Requirements list, contractor name with verification badge and rating, exact timing, and distance from the worker.
• [One-tap apply] No resume, no cover letter — a single tap sends the application; the contractor typically responds within hours.
• [Application tracking] Applied, accepted and pending states with plain-language status lines ("Accepted · starts tomorrow 5 PM").
• [Multilingual cues] Hindi/Marathi labels alongside English ("रोज़गार · Rozgar") and large touch targets for first-time smartphone users.

• Complete Android app source code (Kotlin)
• REST API design document (listings, applications, contractor verification)
• App icon and graphic assets
• Project report PDF (background, inclusive UX design, matching flow, methodology)
• PPT presentation for final review
• Viva Q&A preparation document (Android, location services, multilingual UI, trust design)
