MeetYou – Social Networking on Android

Abstract –

This paper aims to present a system that illustrates the social nature of a human being – the need to be always in touch with family and friends – taking into account facilities available on Android platform. The role of this application is to create a social network in which the users are being alerted when their friends are around. This gives them the possibility to set up a meeting or to avoid one. The users have the possibility to check in some locations and allow their friends to follow their activity. Taking into account the security of the users, we included in the facilities of the application an option which allows close friends or family to check the user’s location based on a keyword text message. For this purpose, available Android location and messages services are used for finding an approximate location of a mobile phone running this program and then sharing it through Meet You or via SMS. Information is being displayed using default components provided by Android platform and also more complex elements including heterogeneous lists CWAC, Google Maps and augmented reality using Mixare Library.
