LocPic: Una app de galería de fotografías geolocalizadas para Android

Abstract

[en] This project is about the design, development and evaluation of an app of geolocalized pictures for Android phones. The main objectives are to develop an app for smartphones that allows users to (i) save their pictures in the cloud, (ii) to have these pictures available on any Android device, and (iii) to view these pictures displayed on map, which can enable them to remember the places that they have visited or bring back memories. To implement the app, we have used professional tools, i.e. Android Studio and Firebase. We have also use some services that Google provide us with in order to work with maps. For the design of the app, we respect the patterns indicated by Android, known as Material Design. We have evaluated the app with end-users through semi-structured interviews. We have also conducted a technical evaluation to analyse the performance of the functions of the app. The results of the TFG have been satisfactory. We have achieved the objectives of the project. The results also show that there is room for improvement, and we indicate a number of future research / development perspective.
