Ticket Booking Android App - Live Seat Availability & Secure Payments

Project Objective

Deliver a fast, intuitive movie ticket booking android experience that scales to events and sports. Users discover shows, choose seats visually, pay, and receive e-tickets instantly. Organizers manage listings and seat inventory with confidence.

How It Works

1. Discover: Browse categories (Movies/Events/Concerts/Sports) with search, filters, and city/date pickers.
2. Showtime & Seats: Pick a venue/time; interactive seat map reflects live availability and pricing tiers.
3. Checkout: Apply coupon (optional), pay securely via Razorpay (UPI/cards/wallets).
4. E-Ticket: Booking stored with QR/PNR; add to calendar; share via WhatsApp/Email.
5. History & Support: View bookings, request refund/cancel (rules), and get notifications.

Project Modules

Android Integration Sketch (Java/XML)

// PSEUDO-CODE (illustrative only; Firebase JSON not printed)

// 1) Auth & Profile
class AuthRepo {
  LiveData current(){ /* FirebaseAuth user */ }
  void login(String email,String pass){ /* sign-in */ }
}

// 2) Shows & Seat Maps
class ShowsRepo {
  LiveData> list(ShowFilter f){ /* /shows query by city/date/category */ }
  LiveData getSeatMap(String showId){ /* /seatmaps/{showId} realtime */ }
}

class SeatSelectionVM extends ViewModel {
  MutableLiveData> selectedSeats = new MutableLiveData<>(new HashSet<>());
  void toggleSeat(String seatId, boolean available){ /* UI + constraints */ }
}

// 3) Create Order & Razorpay Checkout
class Payments {
  void startPayment(Activity ctx, Order order){
    Checkout co = new Checkout();
    JSONObject opts = new JSONObject();
    opts.put("name","Tour2Tech Tickets");
    opts.put("currency","INR");
    opts.put("amount", order.amountPaise);
    opts.put("order_id", order.razorpayOrderId); // created by server/Cloud Function
    JSONObject prefill = new JSONObject();
    prefill.put("email", order.userEmail);
    prefill.put("contact", order.userPhone);
    opts.put("prefill", prefill);
    co.open(ctx, opts);
  }
  void onPaymentSuccess(String razorpayPaymentId){
    // verify signature on server -> confirm booking -> lock seats -> emit ticket
  }
  void onPaymentError(int code, String reason){
    // release temp seat holds -> show error
  }
}

// 4) Booking Confirmation & Ticket
class BookingRepo {
  void createBooking(Booking b){ /* /bookings write; status=CONFIRMED after payment verify */ }
  LiveData> history(){ /* user bookings */ }
}

// 5) Realtime Availability
// Server updates /seatmaps/{showId}/{seatId}=available|held|sold
// Client listens and updates seat colors instantly.

// 6) Notifications & Calendar
// FCM push for reminders; ICS/Calendar insert on device.

// 7) Admin/Organizer (optional)
// Add events/shows, upload poster, define seat map + tiers, set schedules & pricing.
