Pinder - CS422 Final Project

As an owner of a cat, I'm really scared of losing him. On Facebook, there are lots of group for finding pets, but at this time those groups are kind of being used on the wrong purpose. In addition, Facebook created Group feature not for any specific purpose. So I decided to make an Android application dedicated to finding pet by connecting people who found or lost their pets. The application is like a social community, but has been minimalized some basic features like reactions, comments, shares, etc... Only features that are helpful for information of lost/found pet.

App UI and features

• Login screen: You can choose between sign in by Facebook or sign in by Google Mail (Authenticated via Firebase Authentication

  

• Homepage:

  All the posts are stored and fetched Firebase Realtime Database with pre-defined structure. You can see that these posts are formated for users to easily get important information of found/missing pets

  

  If you find any pets that are similar to your found/missing one, you can directly chat to the post's user with the chat button on top right corner. Or you can choose to report the post if the information is wrong/not related to finding pet.

  

• Upload post feature: You have to go through 2 steps to be able to upload a post to newfeed.

  

  If Save button is clicked, newfeed will be updated with your new post.

  The media message is not supported right now.
