"The Idea is to create an Application for GIS 2k18 (Google India Scholarship 2018)"

Google India Scholarship Community App [GIS 2018] is an open source project developed by the Google India Challenge scholarship recipients 2018 as a part of collaborative projects for the students enrolling for next year program more could be added.

Application Description:

It will have 6 main modules:

1. Members:

   • It will show a list of all students selected for the phase 1 and that of phase 2.
   • User can see their profile (if the participant feels ok to share his information).

2. GIS Stories: Displays the Stories of all participants.

3. Projects: List of all projects (collaborative projects) explained briefly with links to it.

4. Challenges:

   • Show all challenges that students participated.
   • Showcase the best of the entries in that challenge.

5. Quizzes: A Place with all the quizzes that have been created in GIS 2k18.

Theme of Application:

1. Help people have more insight on what Google India Scholarship is.

2. Show valuable and enjoyable GIS is, by showing previous stories.

3. To aspire people.

Why this application is required?

An Android developer wants to know where he is in the field of android developer and wants to get more insight into it but often doesn't find many members. So seeing these stories and through this app, he will know there is more to learn and he could easily ask for help if needed (If the participants allow sharing their personal information we shall give in the email in the profile and Anyone who has doubts about their projects can ask them). Similarly for a web developer.

gis-2k18's Issues

Settings Screen is not implemented for the App

The settings screen needs to be implemented for the app with basic options:

1. Enabling and disabling notifications
2. Sign out option for the user

Link Preview feature added

Pull request #107 introduces a new feature which can give user an option to view a preview of the link that they open in browser. It is just the starter code but is complete in its functionality. So now we would like you to suggest improvements in the UI of it. You can see the feature inside a CustomDialog by clicking on the newly added button in Community Section called "Preview Link".

Duplicate entries in app level gradle dependencies

There are 4 duplicate entries in app level gradle dependencies.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1'

Same was causing error in some import statements in LoginActivity file

Members and Settings Fragment overlapping with Home screen content

The contents of the Member's screen and Settings screen are being overlapped by the Home screen, and there is no way to navigate back to the Home Screen when once other sections are opened.

Google Sign In Problem

I Have Froked Latest repo When i Tried To Google Login It Shows Status Code Developer ERROR. I Found The Solution From Stack Overflow This Please Update SHA1 in Firebase Console.

On Home Page Back button Issue

This issue on a this branch "Firebase-Added"
When user select the Navigation Drawer item one by one Like Members after that GIS Stories.
then the issue is when pressing the device back button then it will show all the pages on by one.

Solution:- When user click back button then simply close the application.

Please use proper coding conventions

There are currently alot of places in the project where conventions have not been followed. Please follow the conventions that are provided here - https://blog.mindorks.com/android-code-style-and-guidelines-d5f80453d5c7 . It becomes easy to solve bugs if the conventions are followed. Anyone willing to beautify the codes using proper conventions given in the link?

Splash Screen with Animation

All Mock Splash Screen Contributer can provide their work here.

google play service error

at the time of opening app in emulator it show me update google play service. when I go for it. its shows google play service error. please check it out. my android studio ide version is 3.1.2 with updated play services.

Adding a Descriptive Readme.md?

Readme.md file should be heavily descriptive so that developers can easily contribute.

Navigation bars selection inconsistent with the fragment on pressing back

The navigation drawer's items are not in sync with the fragments. When we press back from a fragment then the fragment from the back stack is loaded but the entry in the Navigation drawer is not updated also the same problem while navigating back from the My Profile activity. See the images below in the background HomeFragment is being shown while the Navigation drawer shows Challenges section is selected.

Spinner's UI is not consistent with the rest of the UI

The spinner's UI is not consistent with the rest of the UI. The default dropdown resource is used so I suggest that we should customize the spinner and make it's UI consistent according to the rest of the color scheme.

Images not being fetched from Gallery

The images in UserDetailsActivity and ChallengeUserInputDetails are not being fetched from the Gallery, because the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is not asked at runtime, without the permission we cannot get the image from the external storage of the device

Add Login Screen

Will make the Login Screen layout. Functionality can be added later on when Firebase is setup properly with details.

This is the basic design for our GIS app login screen the starter code is available.
Its Time the to show your programming skills and submit pull request for this LOGIN feature

Home Page section.

Home page is the Activity which is opened as soon as User Launches the app so we wanted to create a home page which will be make user explore the app with enthusiasm,.

This is an example of a home page we are looking for .

This is an example of the college fest so we were thinking to do something similar to it.
PLZ suggest us some ideas related to this or something better no need for submission for MOCK UI.

Remove the shadow in the top bar in Community Section

The shadow just above the tablayout and below the toolbar has to be fixed. It looks ugly

google account authentication failed in emalutor

everything is find but google authentication failed after all process . I have also got email from for new device sign in.

User Details Activity

There are 2 types of users for the app :
1.Authenticated User: Any recipient of Google India Scholarships is an Authenticated user. They can sign into the app using their username and the password with which they have registered.
2. Guest User: The ones who are not recipients of Google India Scholarship are guest users. They need not sign in but they can view the app.

Authenticated User vs Guest User:
An authenticated user can edit his profile, projects, challenges and all the data he has submitted at the first time login of the app.
A Guest User has all the benefits of an authenticated user except one thing. A guest user will not be able to add any details about him/her because he is not a GIS recipient thereby he cannot edit any details too.

The Issue is to create a User Details activity in which an authenticated can add all his details and can also edit them

It will be same as that of profile activity in members section except In members section, you can only view details of all the members but in User details activity , you can edit the details of the member who has logged in

In User details activity

1. User can add/edit profile picture
2. User can add/edit one line description
3. User can add/edit short description
4. User can add/edit skills
5. User can add/edit GIS stories
6. User can add/edit GIS projects
7. User can add/edit GIS challenges
8. User can add/edit own projects out of GIS
9. User can upload profile pic from gallery or camera
10. User can upload projects' image from gallery or camera
11. User can upload stories' image from gallery or camera

In one line the User details Activity is Profile Activity with every part having editing and saving functionality

You can design the way you want. But see the below screenshots of profile activity and use them as reference

1. Profile About UI

2. Profile GIS UI

3. Profile Projects UI

Members nav item selection is very odd

Profile Activity opens up automatically. What I understand is that the profile activity must open when we click on a particular name .

Also the back button in the profile activity (toolbar) doesn't do anything .

On swiping up in the profile activity, there is a large gap between the toolbar and the tabs , that looks really bad
