Firebase and Maps API setup

To build and successfully run this app you will need to set it up with Firebase and the Google Maps API.

Firebase:
- Create a new project on Firebase and download the google-services.json file
- Place this file in /GeoShare_Android/mobile
Maps Api
- Enable the Maps API on Google Cloud Platform and set up an Android key
- Create a new resouce file in Android Studio, place it in /res/values and call it api.xml
- Paste the API key from Google Cloud into a new entry in this file. The end result should look like this
```
  <resources>
    <string name="api_key">api_key_goes_here</string>
  </resources>
```
