There are utilities that claim to allow creation of apps with minimal coding, but I don't believe it's possible to create anything but very basic things. And from what you've described, your app has a few moving parts involved. You'll need a shared database, and this will require a web service hosted on a remote web server, so that all users can access it. You could even look at using Firebase for this.
But I fear that there's no escaping from getting your hands dirty and learning to code. Yeah I know, it's very time consuming, but there really aren't any shortcuts.
On the positive side, you'll find many online resources to help. Start by looking at the sticky posts here, which contain some useful links for beginners. e.g -

You'll actually find that once you start using Android Studio, it does give you quite a bit of help, and even includes a handy graphical UI designer (a la drag 'n drop style).
Good luck!
