GeoTag is a sample application utilizing Google Map's API with Kinvey's Backend to allow users to both add and view annotations on a map.

Set up Geotag Project

1. Clone this repo
2. Get a (free) Android google maps v2 API key by following the instructions listed here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#creating_an_api_project

###Android Studio

1. In Android Studio, go to File → New → Import Project
2. Browse to the extracted zip from step 1, and click OK
3. Click Next and Finish.
4. Click the play button to start a build, if you still see compilation errors ensure the versions are correctly defined in the dependencies list

###Finally, for all IDEs 5. Specify your app key and secret in assets/kinvey.properties constant variables app.key and app.secret

Once you have all dependencies, an app-key, an app-secret, and a google Maps API key, let's get this sample running!

Open up the file AndroidManifest.xml and scroll down to the bottom. We are looking for:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="__GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY__" />

You guessed it, we are gonna be replacing __GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY__ with the Key for Android App with Certificate you got from Google. Make sure you leave the "" in the manifest around your key.

Then, within the project, look for assets/kinvey.properties. This property file maintains your Kinvey application credentials, and these need to be updated with your applications app-key and app-secret.

app.key=__KINVEY_APP_KEY__
app.secret=__KINVEY_APP_SECRET__

Just replace __KINVEY_APP_KEY__ with your app-key and __KINVEY_APP_SECRET__ with your app-secret.

####And that's it.

Functionality

This application demonstrates:

• Storing and retreiving data from a collection
• Simple geolocation querying
• Integrating with Kinvey, Google Maps API. This project is written in Kotlin.

Design

This sample utilizes both Google's AndroidX standard support package as well as Google Services Maps API. These dependencies are included, and should not require any configuration by the user (except the above mentioned API keys)
