Android Mobile Application for Tours Guide System

Abstract

The main goal of the thesis was to create an android mobile application for users, those who travel to a new destination, to help them to find a local guide to help them discover the new place, new culture. The application will have two different launch views. The first one is for regular users,, who use the application in order to find a tour guide for his/her trip. In that view, a user will be able to register and create an account. All the information of that user will be saved in Azure cloud database. With that account, that user will log in to the application and from then add a new request to find a tour guide for that person’s next trip. The application will make sure that the user has to enable the location services on the mobile device for the authorization. The second view is made for people who would like to become a guide for travelers. Similar to the first view, a user will be able to register, log in to the application. All the data will again be stored on Azure cloud database. Users of this group will be able to view the list of requests, as well as details from the request, and then decide to pick up the request to contact the user from the first group and negotiate about the upcoming trip with them. All views are built on Xamarin with fundamental C# and Azure cloud databases.
