Inspiration

We imagined if we were in an accident, we would be shocked and we would not be able to provide the best help possible.

What it does

• Guides you trough the necessary steps after an accident
• Call the police at any time from the status bar
• Reminds you where your personal items are (first aid kit, warning triangle…)
• Tells you what to do if you are to shocked to read
• Provides an overlay with your position/current address when you call the police

How I built it

CrashBuddy is built in Android using a strongly Fragment based layout. The questions are dynamically loaded from a JSON file and are extendable by simple HTML content. We used AndroidStudio, Java and nearly no third party libraries.

Challenges I ran into

• Building the decision tree for every situation
• Creating the Breadcrumb View

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• The custom Breadcrub View that lets you navigate through the questions that you have been asked
• The visual design in general

What I learned

• A lot about custom views and canvas drawing
• How to create widgets and overlays in Android

What's next for CrashBuddy

• Minor design tweaks
• Improving the decision tree / new decision trees for other countries
• Lots of new help instructions

Built With

• android
• android-studio
• google-geocoding
