Where-r-u-

Where-r-u- is an Android application that lets users locate people in their contact list who are also using the app by sharing and mapping the latest geographic coordinates.

The app captures the user’s mobile number and device location, pushes it to a backend server, and retrieves location data of all registered users for display on a Google map.

It includes features like background location updates and direction markers to visualize user positions in real time.

• Built an Android location tracking app using Java and Google Maps API to visualize user locations.
• Implemented network communication with a server to push and fetch user coordinates using Volley.
• Enhanced user experience by placing map markers for all tracked contacts and preparing for future features like direction routing.
• Structured the app to support future backend improvements (e.g., migrating to Firebase) and background location tracking.
