This project is my first Android app, built to explore:

✔ UI/UX Principles – Handling user navigation, interactions, and smooth screen transitions.

✔ Firebase Authentication – User login, registration, and session management.

✔ Jitsi API for Video Calling – Seamlessly integrating video calls with astrologers.

✔ Android Internals – Using SharedPreferences, deep linking, and background services.

✔ WhatsApp & Call Integration – Users can directly message astrologers or call them from the app.

✔ CRUD Operations – Booking & canceling poojas, handling dynamic responses.

✔ Static Chat Functionality – Responds based on keywords like love, career, etc.

💡 Main Motivation: Understanding how Android apps are structured, from UI/UX to API integrations and backend authentication.
