RepairShoes SMS Application

Simple Android SMS automation app for shoe repair shop customer notifications

Project Overview

A basic Android application designed to help a local shoe repair shop send automated SMS notifications to customers when their repairs are completed.

The app allows the shop owner to select a service type (like "shoes") and enter the customer's phone number. When clicking send, the app automatically sends a predefined message such as: "Hello, your shoes are ready and you can come pick them up. Best regards, the cobbler shop."

This mini-project focuses on SMS automation functionality using Android Studio, without complex features like databases, payment systems, or advanced UI components.
