Inspiration

We want to make an app when we form a team. We originally wanted to make a game app, but we found we do not have enough time to complete it. Instead, we continue working on an android app as we discuss what we can make. An inventory android app is possible within a 24-hour development.

What it does

The app is to manage inventory that the user input and can take picture with it. It helps the user to keep organize of their items in a box.

How we built it

We use Android Studio and TensorFlow Lite

Challenges we ran into

Some of us are new at making apps and could not solve some of the issues during development. We couldn't make database in our development due to time limit.

We tried to integrate the Tensorflow Lite demo app with our app for the camera function. However, the Tensorflow app is able to detect images in real-time, but we only need to detect one final object in our function. Therefore, we tried to stop the runnable running in the background and get the latest list of results in the processImage(). We changed the variable to protected static so the other activity could access the variable. However, this approach creates an error that attempts to invoke the method on a NULL object. We had tried many ways to solve it, but we were not able to solve the error.
