Built using cordova, html, java and css, this app was developed to identify the challenges associated with developing for cross platform as well as familiarising with building and putting apps onto mobile devices. This app utilised Google Maps API to track user locations as they walked and would then fill in the area walked and score the user based on how far they have walked. The app had an option to publish their walked routes in a custom colour for other users to see (creating a collage of overlapping territories) as well as allowing users to save their own routes only to record the paths and roads they themselves have walked recently.
I had to take into consideration the fact that the app was location based and therefore couldnt provide live feeds of user locations as they walked so I had to work around that by allowing users to update the positions manually as a setting or automatically updating after a set delay. The main difficulty in this app was identifying both the physical and functional differences between devices and building an app that can switch appropriately between devices without requiring a completely different install of the app by detecting hardwares and then testing on mutliple device types.
