inPlace

Project for Mobile Applications and Cloud Computing course: given a set of requirements, we had to build an application that satisfied them all.

This project contains two main folders:

• inplace/ : here resides the application

• clustering_server/ : here there is the code used to compute the clusters

About inPlace |

inplace/

This is the main application.

The object of the application is to create a geolocalized messaging system where an user can read and write messages that will be available only within a certain range of the position of the user.

In order to make Google Maps work you have to set up your API KEY (See here)

Search for 'YOUR_API_KEY' in files:

-'android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml'

-'web/index.html'

And replace the key

pythonanywhere_server/

This module has to be run on a pythonanywhere.

I uploaded it as a WebApp in the path home/{user_name}/inPlace.

Here the messages in the database are retrieved with their GPS coordinates, then k clusters are computed and their centers are uploaded on firestore.

After this, a rudimental API service is set up in order to give back the clusters to someone who asks.

In order to communicate with the firestore database, replace YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY in the field of "private key" in file models/firebase_inplace_key.json
