I need an Android-first cooking application that ships with a polished, searchable recipe database, a built-in grocery list manager, and an adjustable cooking timer that can run in the background while users browse other screens. For now, those three core features are non-negotiable. I am still weighing whether to let users create and share their own recipes, so I would like the codebase structured in a way that makes adding user-generated content straightforward in a later update (for example, keeping data models and cloud storage hooks modular). Deliverables • Production-ready APK and Play-Store-ready bundle • Clean, well-commented source code (Kotlin or Java inside Android Studio) pushed to a private Git repo • Basic Firebase or Room database setup for recipes, with grocery-list and timer data persisted locally • Brief hand-off document or walkthrough video so I can maintain and extend the app myself Acceptance criteria 1. All three headline features work smoothly on current Android versions down to API 24. 2. UI follows Material 3 guidelines and adapts to phones and small tablets. 3. No crashes or critical lint warnings; all functionalities covered by simple unit or instrumentation tests. 4. Clear separation of concerns in the architecture so that a future “share your own recipe” module can plug in without major refactor. If you have recently shipped similar lifestyle or food apps, please include a link or screen capture when you reply so I can get a feel for your design approach.

Hello, I’m Fernando from Mexico. I reviewed the scope and understand the three core features are the searchable recipe database, grocery list manager, and background cooking timer, with local persistence and an architecture ready for future user created recipes. My background includes mobile development, APIs and database driven applications, and I would build this in Kotlin with a clean separation between UI, data and business logic. Should recipes be bundled locally for the first release, or loaded from Firebase after installation? This affects startup behavior and the recipe data layer. For the timer, should multiple cooking timers run at the same time, or only one active timer? This affects the background service and notification design. I can start by building the recipe data model and searchable recipe screen with Room persistence as the first reviewable step. Bests, Fernando

Hi, I can build the three core features in Kotlin: searchable recipes in Room, a persistent grocery checklist and a timer that stays reliable while users move between screens. I would store the timer end time rather than rely only on a running counter, and test pause/resume and app lifecycle behaviour. ₹37,500 covers the offline Android app with up to 100 recipes you supply, Material 3 layouts, core tests, signed APK/AAB and source in two weeks. User accounts, cloud sync and recipe sharing are later phases. My public Android example is FilmaCinema, not a food app. Do you already have the recipe text and licensed photos?

Hi, I have developed Android applications with Kotlin/Java, local data persistence, Firebase, structured architectures and production-ready releases. Spendwy, an expense and budget app on Google Play, is one example of my Android experience. ? The key challenge is keeping recipes, grocery lists and background timers reliable across Android lifecycle changes while maintaining a clean architecture for future recipe sharing. ✅ Recipe system: I can build a searchable recipe database with categories, fast filtering and Room/Firebase persistence, structured for future cloud/user-generated content. ✅ Grocery & timer: Grocery lists will persist locally, while the cooking timer will continue reliably in the background with proper Android lifecycle handling and notifications. ✅ Quality & delivery: I’ll use Material 3, support API 24+, separate concerns cleanly, add unit/instrumentation tests, resolve critical lint issues and provide the APK, AAB, private Git repo and handoff documentation. I can share my Spendwy app as a practical reference and adapt the UI around your cooking app vision. Best regards, Michel.
