Google Code-in

This is task 1 of a five-task series. The final product of these five tasks will be an Android application that serves as a guide for tourists to your city (or any city of your choice). The app will also be connected to a Liquid Galaxy system.

Now that the app's UI has been completed, it's time to delve into its functionality! Create a Firebase real-time database and link it to the app. Only 2 fields (nodes) are needed in the database – location and information. When the user clicks on any of the listings in the app, the database should update with the name of the place (eg: Times Square) and the information about the place from Task 1 (eg: Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center and neighborhood in the Midtown Manhattan section of New York City at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. It stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Streets).

Send your Android project (as a zip file), a video demo of your app along with the Firebase database, and an apk of your app to lgcodein@gmail.com. Also publish these on the Google Code-in task dashboard.
