MusicBrainz for Android was first created in 2010-11. In the year 2019,the app went through a significant update as part of GsoC’19 .The complete codebase was shifted to adhere to the new Android Ecosystem.The relevant updates had been made.The core of the app is now clean and in a much better condition. However,basic feaures like the Tagging facility is yet to be implemented.Also,the app’s UI must be completely redesigned and implemented as it needs to have a responsive layout in order to stay relevant in the current Android Environment and to keep up to the current Android Users’ need.

My Project is aimed at:

1 Fixing existing design issues and integrating the android debug bridge.

2 Completing the Tag feature in all aspects and replace the existing library.

3 Creating and integrating a responsive UI for users for which redesigning of some existing features and adding new features are proposed.This will be done in 2 steps. In the first one, I will add backend code for them and in the second one, the necessary GUI will be added.
