Introducing ‘Endless Tagging’ – an Open Source Sample App for Android

We just published an Android sample application to Google Play. The application demonstrates the usage of various Backendless APIs for some real-world use-case you may be implementing in your app. The application allows anyone to take a picture or use one from the gallery, upload it to the server and associate the picture with a point on the map (tag). Users can browse uploaded pictures by moving/zooming the map. For any picture/tag you can see a list of comments and submit your own comment as well. The application source code specifically demonstrates how to handle the following use-cases:

• User registration and login
• User login with Facebook or Twitter accounts
• Retrieving a list of geo points and plotting them on the map
• Taking a picture with the device’s camera
• Selecting a picture from the device’s gallery
• Uploading/Downloading images to/from Backendless
• Establishing relational mapping between uploaded images and submitted comments
• Using Data Service to submit and load user comments

You can find the app in Google Play if you search for “Endless Tagging”.

The source code of the application is available in our GitHub repository:
