Geofencing - Starter code

A treasure hunt app

Introduction

A geofence is a virtual perimeter defined by GPS or RFID around a real world area. Geofences can be created with a radius around a point location.

Geofencing has a lot of applications including:

• Reminder apps, such as reminding you to pick up a prescription when you get to a certain destination like your pharmacy.
• Child location services, where a parent can be notified if a child leaves an area designated by a geofence.
• Attendance, where an employer can know when their employees arrive by the time they enter a geofence.
• A treasure hunt app that uses geofences to mark the place where the treasure is hidden. When you enter that place, you will be notified that you have won!

Pre-requisites

• The latest version of Android Studio.
• A minimum of SDK API 29 on your device or emulator. (This should still work on lower API levels but may look differenti.)
