1. Registrations
2. Retrieve data
3. Notifications
   • Update users who willing to know new requests
   • Update users who expecting relevant offers

I can help with this. But the question is, will someone spend the time to install an app? But one big plus point is, we can easily notify the user to check the status of their request and notify people of possible danger areas.

[THPubs]

I can easily do an app with React Native if someone can help with the API part :smile:

[danishka]

why not if we provide enough features and everyone will be on-bard after a disaster happened. this project is not only for ongoing relief activities but we prepare for future challenges while supporting on going relief activities.

Thanks for your offer @THPubs 👍

[THPubs]

Cool! Then let's make a new repo for it and start with some basic layout of the features we need. I might need some help on the API part because I'm not familiar with Laravel and php.

[danishka]

Created new repo for android app https://github.com/reliefsupports/reliefsupport-android

[THPubs]

Perfect! I will start working on it now!

[danishka]

We can continue Android related discussions there. @THPubs Please create issues under Android project as needed.

[THPubs]

@danishka Already on it! Can I have access to that repo so I can directly push to it?

[Sumudu-Sahan]

Can I join to this mobile app project?

[Sumudu-Sahan]

Android app with firebase notification system and sign in by using fb or g+, because, they need to push all information immediately. Therefore, sign up my be useless. Therefore we can use fb login or G+ authentication. :) Idea only :)

[THPubs]

@Sumudu-Sahan Need all the help we can get :smile: I already started to initiate the project in React Native.

[THPubs]

@Sumudu-Sahan You can post feature suggestions in here: https://github.com/reliefsupports/reliefsupport-android/issues

[Sumudu-Sahan]

Ok :)

[Sumudu-Sahan]

I'm on it

[Sumudu-Sahan]

Track the location when add a a record. I can do the gps part of it. Native level

[THPubs]

@danishka I initiated the project and it's ready to be merged: https://github.com/reliefsupports/reliefsupport-android/pull/3

[Sumudu-Sahan]

suggestions for the mobile app and site.

1). track the location(GPS coordinates) when a user add a new help requirement record. 2). notify to all other users via push notification when add a new help record, solve the help record, relief vehicles with human needs with destinations, relief lives guard supports, new disaster effects with rescue methods etc.... 3). add an option to put safe or not option. this will help to find people who are not safe and provide helps. 4). notify all lives guard teams about location with GPS coords + realtime notifications.

Do u create this app using react-native or native Android?

[Sumudu-Sahan]

seems to be, this app is going on react native, But I know only native side and my field is also native mobile app developer :(

[harsha935]

@THPubs If we create a mobile app using react-native, can u rename this repo as react-native or something? that can get an idea about app structure native or cross. thanks

[harsha935]

@Sumudu-Sahan don't wry bro u can also join with this from native level ;)

[THPubs]

@Sumudu-Sahan Machan, if you can do it in native quickly, then you are free to take over cause unexpectedly I have to go to Matara with some donations to help a friend. I might be able to help tomorrow. But, I don't know Android native :cry: .
