Local setup

1. Install PHP, MySQL, and a local web server.
2. Create a MySQL database named hotel_reservation_application using the table structures shown in extras.
3. Serve the files in api from your web server.
4. Open mobile in Android Studio.
5. Set the development server address in mobile/app/src/main/java/com/sameetasadullah/i180479_i180531/dataLayer/writerAndReader.java.
6. Sync Gradle and run the application on an emulator or Android device.

The checked-in server address documents the original development environment. A deployed version should use build-time configuration and HTTPS.

Project status

This repository preserves the original Android and PHP implementation. Production deployment would require authenticated API sessions, prepared SQL statements, password hashing, HTTPS, environment-based configuration, and dependency upgrades.
