Day Trip Planner

Software Design for Handheld Devices

Spring 2020

This is an Android application that I coded in Kotlin with a minimum SDK of 21. This app searches for restaurants, metro stops, and activities near a user-inputted location. On the main screen, the user can specify location, restaurant category, attraction category, and number of results for all categories. On the next screen, a Map view shows the results that are returned by the API calls. This app uses the Google Maps API to display the map and makes calls to the Yelp Business Search API and WMATA API. From the map screen, the user can visit the details page, where more specific information about each business is displayed in list view. This page shows the name of the attraction or restaurant, address, price category, Yelp rating, and features buttons to call the business or open their website. I used a Recycler View to render the list.
