The SmartAlert Android application is designed to provide rapid notifications to citizens across Greece during high-risk emergency situations such as floods, fires, and earthquakes. Registered users can submit incident reports, which are then displayed on a map. The system includes features for viewing incident statistics and managing user settings like language and theme.
- Incident Reporting: Registered users can submit high-risk incident reports, including details such as type of risk (fire, flood, etc.), comments, current location (automatic via GPS), timestamp, and attached photos.
- Interactive Map: View incidents on a map to quickly assess the situation in your area.
- User Authentication: Secure sign-in for registered users.
- Statistics: View statistics about reported incidents.
- Settings: Customize your experience with options for language (Greek and English) and theme (dark and light mode).
- Backend Module: The system ranks incident reports based on the number of submissions within a timeframe and incident severity, affecting notification priority.
The SmartAlert application is built using Kotlin with Jetpack Compose for the native Android UI. Key libraries used include:
- Compose Charts: Animated and flexible charts for displaying incident statistics.
- Coil: An efficient and fast image loading library used for handling attached photos in incident reports.
- GitHub: https://github.com/coil-kt/coil
- Maps Compose: Jetpack Compose composables for integrating the Maps SDK for Android to display reported incidents on an interactive map.
