Handyman – An Android App for Easy Access to Trusted Professionals

Abstract: In everyday life, individuals frequently encounter household and commercial maintenance issues requiring skilled professionals such as electricians, plumbers, pest control agents, and cleaners. Traditional methods of locating and hiring reliable service providers are often inefficient, time-consuming, and lack transparency. This project introduces an Android-based application, Handyman, designed to provide easy access to trusted professionals through a centralized digital platform.
The application enables users to book services, track requests in real time, and provide feedback, while service providers benefit from increased visibility and customer reach. By integrating a dispatcher module, secure payment options, and a rating system, the app ensures efficiency, accountability, and user satisfaction. The proposed system leverages Android Studio, Java, XML, and Firebase Realtime Database to deliver a seamless, scalable, and user-friendly solution that bridges the gap between customers and service professionals.
