Get Outdoors Mobile App

This is my senior project for my B.A. in Computer Science.

The Get Outdoors is a full-stack mobile application. It is very similar to AllTrails or other trail finders, and is compatible with both Android and IOS.

Built With

• React Native
• Spring Boot
• MySQL
• VSCode
• Android Studio

Installation & Usage

I have no plans to deploy this application to production, so using it is only recommended in a testing environment. It is not available in any app stores.

For full functionality, you must run the frontend application and the server separately and properly setup their connection. I have not tested running them on different machines, only locally on the same device.

Launching the Application

Here are instructions for running the application in a devopment environment. Again, this is not recommended. I've included it mainly for myself for ease of use in the future.

Frontend:

1. Open the whole project locally.
2. Open Android Studio and launch an AVD to run the application on.
3. Run one of the following commands in the terminal: i. npm start ii. npx expo start
4. Once Metro Bundler launches from the terminal, press a to open the application on Android.
5. When done, press Ctrl+C to close the Metro Bundler.

More detailed instructions can be found here.

Acknowledgements

I used Coolors to find/generate a color palette. You can find the specific one I chose here. If you want to alter the color palette, modify the colors.js file in the config folder.
