Is this Road safety app idea possible to implement on App inventor? (Photograph and plot locations of road hazard issues and share with others ) )

Can this be done with App Inventor? Yes, be aware it will be complex coding.

to an online database (use CloudDB, FirebaseDB for instance). Use the Camera to take the photo and then post it to the database. Once the images are uploaded, others with your app can view them.

Use the LocationSensor to provide location information of the image taken with the cell phone camera. Display the location using the Map component. It is possible to use the image as an icon (Custom Marker) instead of a Map pin.

Then, you probably will want to lots of other things with the database and its images to make the app useful to others.

Issues:

  • can anyone post images?
  • others I have not even thought of.

Is this easy? No, it is complex and involves lots of programming skills.

Here are some resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools. A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles
