School Study Leave Geofencing-based Registration
Geofencing on Android, and creating an app with the school for auto registration on study leave
Recently, I’ve been reading and trying to implement geofencing on Android.
So far it has been quite successful, I have implemented a working project that has a geofence around my school and alerts to user to login and logout on entering or exiting the school grounds.
This app was intended as a solution to student registration during study leave in my school, as during exams students can come and go as they like. The school already had a solution of using a login page and a google form to login/logout to school, but many students forgot or were too lazy so therefore the solution wasn’t very good. This imposed a health and safety risk, because then the school wouldn’t know which students are in school during an emergency.
So using geofencing, I created an app that would send a notification to the student that links to their auto-filled google form for login when entering and for logout when exiting.
I have shown the app to the school and they liked it, so I’m continuing to improve the app and fix bugs as well as testing it with testers.
