**THIS APP REQUIRES SOMEONE WHO IS COMPETENT IN USING THE PLACES API AND ANDROID GEOLOCATION **
This Android is supposed to do the following:
- On appload, or upon pressing the "findme" button, uses GPS, Network and Last-known location, to locate the user and display their location on the mapview.
- On appload, based on user location in mapview, conducts a places search ([url removed, login to view]) in the nearby area
- After conducting the localsearch, it places the search results on the mapview as pins, which will have a custom icon
- Pins will correspond to a list of locations on the "list" page. These locations will have location name and address.
- Pins should be clickable, and when clicked will go to the "list" page with the relevant item highlighted
- On the top bar of the app, an Admob box should be there (for advertising)
So far the following has been done:
- UI is complete
- Geolocation is partially functional (it runs but only once and the Findme button doesn't work properly)
- A places search appears to run, but it doesn't work very well, or draw pins correctly on the map
The following needs to be done:
- A button and a search box need to be removed from the UI. For the removed searchbox, this space should be filled by the Admob banner (see final point)
- Get the Geolocation to work reliably on GPS/Network/Last Known Location so that it shows each time the app loads and also refreshes whenever the FindMe button is clicked
- The places search should run everytime the user location is updated. The pins need to render each time a search is completed
- The pins, when clicked, should take the user to the Places list and highlight the relevant list item (e.g. if pin "A" was clicked, list item "A" should be highlighted)
- Admob banner needs to be introduced at top
