live-share-location

Overview

I built a simple live locations sharing android app

Main functionality

  • The project will be implemented within two devices. Our app enables users to share geolocation with each other. All information will be displayed on google map.
  • Specifications include:
  1. Up to 2 users sharing locations simultaneously
  2. Customized markers will be displayed on map

User Interface

  • Two icons: one icon is referring to userOne and the other is userTwo. The icon will be displayed with map functionality, so that each icon will be considered as the current location of each user.
  • Map: a full-screen map will be displayed to help users with locating them

Project Structure

Data management

  • All data that matters is stored by the User class. User is a customized class and there will be two objects generated during the implementation for our two users. Firebase will be the cloud database that stores all information of users. During the process, the app will fetch each user’s data from Firebase, and interact with UI.
