About
Create a useful stopwatch application inspired by the famous Pomodoro technique! The main idea is to break one long work period into small intervals of work followed by short breaks. In your final application, the user will be able to run a stopwatch and set an upper limit. After the limit is reached, the app will send the user a notification — a reminder to rest.
Training project

How to make a basic android app with Kotlin and XML, how to request permissions, push notifications, access XML elements through Kotlin, and use Runnable to performed timed operations

I've learned a good use of best practices like Handler, Runnable, and ActivityResultContracts for permissions. Logical blocks like startStopwatch(), updateTextView(), and sendNotification() keep the code modular and easy to follow.
