This was my first time coding an application and the first time learning any coding language. The project was initially demanding to me as it was difficult to grasp the coding language as everything was pretty new to me.

​

There were many concepts that i needed to understand. From understanding how to format buttons and design interfaces in android studio to understanding what are arrays, loops etc. 

​

There were many roadblocks while I was developing the music player application as there were many red line code errors which took time to solve and a lot of online research to complete.

​

In the end, I managed to hit the basic requirements of the project (listed above) and additionally add on some unique features to my music player application like: 

 

• Displaying music files from my downloads in my computer and automatically capture the thumbnail, name and artist of the song track, which means that I could read mp3 files from my computer and not just hardcoded ones.

• Adding skip and previous track buttons

• Adding shuffle music and repeat music functions

• Interact with a progress bar to turn the music to any point of time of the track.
