Mobile App for Student Roommate Matching with Preference Filters
Mobile App for Student Roommate Matching with Preference Filters is a mobile application concept built around user registration, form submission, QR scan, booking request, or location update. A realistic FYP outcome is a working system that performs Firebase or backend logic that validates input, stores records, and updates user status, then shows mobile screens, status feedback, history records, and admin review. The scope should capture users, requests, transactions, status history, and notification records as evidence for the report.
Project Snapshot
Quick Summary
Mobile App for Student Roommate Matching with Preference Filters is a mobile application idea for students who need a working demo with user registration, form submission, QR scan, booking request, or location update. A good version focuses on mobile screens, status feedback, history records, and admin review using Android, Firebase, Authentication, with testing evidence for login flow, create/update records, weak-network behaviour, and role access.
Difficulty
Intermediate
Time Required
4-8 weeks for core workflow, database, testing and presentation screens
Cost
No fixed price. Cost depends on screens, database complexity, user roles, AI/API use, deployment and documentation scope.
Components
Android, Firebase, App, Housing
How This Project Works
The user enters user registration, form submission, QR scan, booking request, or location update through a focused web or mobile interface.
The system performs Firebase or backend logic that validates input, stores records, and updates user status and stores users, requests, transactions, status history, and notification records.
The user or admin sees mobile screens, status feedback, history records, and admin review with clear status feedback.
Testing checks login flow, create/update records, weak-network behaviour, and role access using realistic sample records.

Build Scope Options
Basic prototype
Main user flow with Android, Firebase, Authentication, Realtime database, simple forms, core records, and one admin view.
Intermediate prototype
Adds search, status tracking, validation, dashboards, and better sample data for report testing.
Advanced prototype
Adds notifications, analytics, exports, AI/payment/QR features, or stronger role-based access where relevant.
Expected Demo Outcome
- Shows mobile screens, status feedback, history records, and admin review from real or realistic user registration, form submission, QR scan, booking request, or location update.
- Stores or displays users, requests, transactions, status history, and notification records as report evidence.
- Demonstrates the main mobile application workflow end to end.
- Includes a clear test scenario for login flow, create/update records, weak-network behaviour, and role access.
Accuracy & Limitations
This is a prototype plan for mobile application, not a finished commercial production system.
Software accuracy and reliability depend on validation rules, database design, and realistic test data.
Authentication, role access, and input sanitisation should be included if the system stores sensitive records.
IoT demos depend on stable WiFi, hotspot, or internet access unless an offline backup mode is prepared.
Validation & Testing Plan
Prepare 10-20 realistic sample records for normal, invalid, and edge-case workflows.
Test whether the system correctly handles login flow, create/update records, weak-network behaviour, and role access.
Capture screenshots of the main user flow, admin flow, database records, and final output.
Document which features are prototype-level and which features are future improvements.
Troubleshooting
If login or role access fails, test with one admin account and one normal user before adding more roles.
If records do not appear correctly, check form validation, database table relationships, and status update logic.
If the demo feels weak, reduce extra features and make the main user-to-admin workflow complete and testable.
If results are inconsistent, prepare clearer sample data for login flow, create/update records, weak-network behaviour, and role access.
Common Mistakes
- Choosing a scope that is too large for the available FYP timeline.
- Start with the main user flow and admin records before adding advanced notification or payment features.
- Writing objectives that do not match the actual prototype or software demo.
- Preparing no backup demo flow for viva day.
- Building screens without proper database relationships, validation, and user-role flow.
- Using sample data that does not prove the main system workflow.
