React Native Application with Maps Integration and Battery Optimization Status

This React Native application integrates Google Maps API and fetches the user's location every 10 minutes. It also includes a feature to display battery optimization status retrieved from the native Android code.

Features

• Google Maps Integration: Displays a map centered at a specific location (latitude and longitude) using Google Maps API.
• Continuous Location Updates: Retrieves the user's location every 10 minutes.
• Direction Arrows: Displays arrows indicating moving directions instead of markers on the map.
• Battery Optimization Status: Fetches battery optimization status from native Android code to check if battery saver mode is enabled.
• UI Display: Shows battery optimization status on the user interface in a card.

Dependencies

• react-native-maps: Used for integrating Google Maps API.
• react-native-get-location: Used for fetching the user's location.
• react-native-bridge-module: Utilized for accessing native Android code from React Native.
