A Fitness application application by Anthony Olori Similar applications include Strava, Adidas fitness
The project follows a modular approach to track user fitness activities, each feature is a seperate system and communicates with other systems through dedicated function calls. The following features are implemented:
Run Tracker:
Tracks user's running activities, including distance, speed, and location, it uses the device GPS so it works on any modern smartphone is able to provide real time. Provides real-time feedback during the run, it also features a run distance calculator as a submodule, this takes the summary of each run session and gives the users a visual representation of their activity.
Location Tracker: Collects and stores the user's location data for analysis and display on the map.
- It uses locaion data to track and store the users speed and distance travelled in real time.
- It uses the google maps api to display travel path as the user travels, emulating the google maps experience for easy use
Cloud Module: Using Firebase, the application optionally stores the user data in firestore NoSQL database, including exercise history and calculated calories, which can then be viewed by the users friendslist.
Firebase Authentication Module: We can create individual user accounts and manage signin, from email to username and password or phone numer, user sign-in and account creation as well as Authentication is handled by this module.
This application requires an API key, stored in api_key.dart.
