CONCEPT

Re-cycle is a third-year course project which teaches us Android development using the Android studio, it is not a design-oriented class, the main focus is the using Java to get familiar with how the industry is developing the Android OS apps, which means it needs actually make a usable application, the topic is selected by ourselves, we need to develop an app that capable of using GPS and other sensors. The domain I chose is an app that helps you find Sharing Bikes, with the rise of sharing economy I think there are lots of opportunities in that area.

DEVELOPMENT

For the UI design I used mainly illustrator to create svg and png files, and add them into my XML. Coding by android studio which is my first time to use, the biggest problem for me is to make very thing responsive, and implement the google map to fragment, by the help of Github I fixed all the problems.
