Geofencing + Places SDK for Android with Kotlin |Masterclass

Hello there and welcome to my course, in this course I’m going to teach you everything you need to know to implement Geofence API in your project. And not just that, as a Bonus I’m going to teach you how to integrate Places SDK for Android as well.

Now this is not the course where you will learn just the theory, this is the course where you will combine theory with practice, and also create one Android application which will use both Geofence API and Places SDK. First I’m going to start this course by introducing you with Places SDK for android. You will learn how to connect your project with the Google Cloud platform, and generate an API key as well. After that you will learn more about Places Autocomplete widget, how we can use it to receive different kind of places as a response. Also how to get more details about the specific place, then how to get places information around your current location, and place photos as well. Plus You will learn more about place ID’s, place types, data fields and session tokens.

Now after you get fully introduced with Places SDK for android, we are going to start building our Geofence app. And for those of you who are not familiar, Geofence API combines awareness of the user’s current location with awareness of the user’s proximity to locations that may be of interest. So basically in our application which we are going to create, we will have a good looking flow to get more information from a user regarding the creation of a Geofence. We will be able to create multiple geofences in our app and get notified whenever we ENTER/EXIT OR STAY within the Geofence for a specified amount of time.
