OceanView

An android app developed as part of the SWE course, meant to address SDG-14, Life Under Water

Written in React Native, it shows viewers a map screen with the Google Maps API. When a pin is clicked, it then opens up a video display that holds a (rendered) video and infocard about that pinned location.

Locations come in many varieties:

1. Restoration sites
2. Plastic disposal sites
3. Oil spill
4. Damaged coral reefs
5. Shipwrecks
6. Land reclamation projects

Dependencies

The dependencies can be resolved using:

npm i

This is a React Native project, bootstrapped using @react-native-community/cli.

Getting Started

Note: Make sure you have completed the React Native - Environment Setup instructions till "Creating a new application" step, before proceeding.

Step 1: Start the Metro Server

First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native.

To start Metro, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:

# using npm
npm start

# OR using Yarn
yarn start

Step 2: Start your Application

Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal from the root of your React Native project. Run the following command to start your Android or iOS app:

For Android

# using npm
npm run android

# OR using Yarn
yarn android

For iOS

# using npm
npm run ios

# OR using Yarn
yarn ios

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in your Android Emulator or iOS Simulator shortly provided you have set up your emulator/simulator correctly.

This is one way to run your app — you can also run it directly from within Android Studio and Xcode respectively.
