These are few open source projects I worked on..
Vatavarana
This application fetches weather details from WUnderground. Vatavarana means “Weather” in Sanskrit. Tabbed view with two fragments serves different use. One is called “Forecast” which displays a list of forecast details of the user’s location using Location manager. Another tab is called “Map” ipwhich has a Google Map view, when the user “long press” any where on the map, it fetches weather condition of that place.
I also pushed this repository to the open source — github projects.

Gathr
Gathr uses your location to discover user-defined events around you. As well as giving you the freedom to add your own events to the local calendar. This data is stored on Parse.com, so both android and iOS check the events.
Gathr ended up placing 3rd in Huskie Hack’s “Civic” category.

Watchman
Concept Android application that stops you snore. It analyses snore by particular sound pattern as night is always silent. Once if the snore is confirmed it waits for few repetitions and vibrates the phone that disturbs user sleep, stopping him to snore. As soon as there is a movement on the bed, phone stops vibrating.
