The App
This is a simple painting app which allows for finger-detection on a screen, multiple colours and background color changes. It also incorporates GPS functionalities through Firebase to allow for you to "draw" or map the path you walk in real life in real time. This project was the first time I developed for mobile using Android Studio. It was an individual project created for the Mobile Computing Computer Science Master course 2021/22.

Conclusion
Through this app's development I learned how to detect finger movements (swiping motions, pressing motions) and add functionalities accordingly. By using Firebase to and location services I also managed to log coordinates and pass lines through them, through which a path can be drawn while walking. I also learned how to work with phone sensors, namely the gyroscope and light ones, to change the screen direction and the phone brightness accordingly.
