Open in Web Editor NEWPin That Place or for short PTP is an app that allows users to find nearby amenities in the radius of 1500 meters and store them as Favourites on the app. The application uses Google services such as the Google Maps API for Android and Google Places API Web Service. The combination of the two API’s produces a real-time nearby places service which can also use the Google Maps as an external app to get directions to the different locations using buttons from inside the app. While also getting places information from Google, the user has the option to mark places as Favourites using an on-the-phone database with Room Database Object Mapping library which makes its info only accessible to the app. The end result is a very user friendly and minimalistic Android application.
