Jay Android Application

In short, Jay is providing data to decide on local problems and in the transportation field. Jay should be easy to use and available to have as much impact as possible.

About the app

• Save sensory/location data locally and sync it to the cloud
• Record a session in the background to provide seamless tracking
• Utilize its capabilities with multiple users on a single device
• Show information about your session
• UX/UI centered design, with dark mode theming

A few technologies Jay implements

• Saving tracked data locally via Room
• Dependency Injection with the Compose implementation of Hilt
• Navigation in the app is helped by Compose Destinations
• Authentication, data sync, etc. is handled by Firebase services
• Mapbox is used instead of Google Maps to scale better
• Amazing (or at least not bad) UX/UI experience (development on Figma Design Page)
• Static code analysis via SonarCloud

Setup and run the project 🏃

You need to do 3 things after cloning the repository to make the app rely only on your services.

Adding Android project to Firebase 🔥

You need to modify the package of the project, because Firebase WILL NOT let you add Jay as an Android project, because I already have a project with this package. You might as well change the name of it, but it's optional.

After you added the Android project, then you should follow the instructions Firebase gave you (download google-services.json).

Install Mapbox 🗺

You will need a Mapbox account in order to get the private and public keys to get it up and running.

Follow the Mapbox install guide for further information. I placed both of my keys in the «USER_HOME»/.gradle/gradle.properties file.

Set up SonarCloud properly

Don't forget to change your properties in the project level build.gradle file.

AdMob setup (Experiment)

Set your application ID from AdMob in the local.properties file with the key ADMOB_APPLICATION_ID in order to get Ads. Also set your Ad Unit IDs in Firebase Remote Config. If not set, the project will use the default test ad unit IDs from Google.

Few tips for security

• Never add google-services.json and «USER_HOME»/.gradle/gradle.properties into your forked repository.
• I would recommend keeping your string.xml file squeaky clean 🧹🧽🧼 (don't place any keys, either public or private or confidential information there), use Firebase's Remote Config service or place keys in local.properties.
