Inspiration
We know that we could be living our lives more environmentally friendly, but sometimes people need a little push to get going. As we know, people are often more motivated when they get to feel a sense of accomplishment that is tangible, and that is what our app does!
What it does
We reward user's with a virtual medal gallery for completing challenges to be more environmentally friendly at certain levels (bronze, silver, gold). It uses user account authentication to store data.
How we built it
We use Android Studio and coded in Java to create the application. We used Google Cloud's Firebase to manage our user accounts using emails and passwords to log in.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into issues while trying to get the Firebase to function properly and authenticate the users when logging in.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting Firebase to work and having image-buttons that change dependent on the amount of work you put into that medal.
What we learned
We learned how to develop a project in Android Studio, use Google Cloud's Firebase, and work with .xml files.
What's next for Medal-ing with Nature
New ways to login and a social media connection to show your friends your cool medals!
