The project consists of an Android App where users can plan the reforesting missions, by defining areas of seeding, specific seed/tree location, drone landing points, fly zones and other helpful metrics. All the gathered information is then dynamically displayed on the Liquid Galaxy cluster using KMLs and also on the app giving users an immersive overview of the reforestation mission. This is being started as a Google Summer of Code 2021 project and has been continued in Google Summer of Code 2022 with the Liquid Galaxy Organization alongside the Dronecoria team. ### App Screenshots

## Running with APK ### Prerequisites * Android device ### Step 1: Download apk Download the apk file from [this repository](https://github.com/LiquidGalaxyLAB/reforestation-assistant-simulator/releases/download/v2.0.0/app-release.apk) or the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galaxy.ras2) ### Step 2: Install Follow the instructions for installation on your Android device. ### Step 3: Connect to Liquid Galaxy 1. On the home page, click on the gear icon to access the settings page

2. On settings, type the ip address and password of the LG master machine 3. Hit “CONNECT” 4. If it is connected correctly you will be prompted with a success message and with the status will change to **CONNECTED**.

**Obs.:** If prompted with the message of *Host is not reachable*, it means the LG master can't be accessed. So check out if you are in the same network of the Liquid Galaxy and that the master can be accessed via SSH.

## Running from source ### Prerequisites * Android Studio, Visual Studio Code or another IDE that supports Flutter development * Flutter SDK * Android SDK * Android device or emulator * Git Documentation on how to set up Flutter SDK and its environment can be found [here](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install). ### Step 1: Clone the repository The full code is located in this GitHub repository. To clone the project via terminal use: ``` git clone https://github.com/LiquidGalaxyLAB/reforestation-assistant.git ``` ### Step 2: Set up Google Maps API Key RAS uses [Google Maps Android API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/overview?hl=pt-br) as the map service. To use Google Maps you required an **API KEY**. To get this key you need to: 1. Have a Google Account 2. Create a Google Cloud Project 3. Open Google Cloud Console 4. Enable Maps Android SDK 5. Generate an API KEY With the key in hands, the next step is placing the key inside the app. Go to *android/app/main* and edit the **AndroidManifest.xml**. Replace the **PLACE_HERE_YOUR_API_KEY** with the key you just created. ```

``` ### Step 3: Run the code Open a terminal and navigate to the project root directory. First you need to install the packages by running: ``` flutter pub get ``` After successfully installing all the packages, make sure you have a device connected, either a real mobile phone or an emulator. You can run flutter doctor to check out the connected devices and if all the environment is correct. ``` flutter doctor ``` With everything ready to go, it is time to run the project. Since dart is moving up versions to offer null safety, some packages that are being used still haven’t migrated to the new null safety policies, so we need to run the project with the following command: ``` flutter run --no-sound-null-safety ``` ### Step 4: Connect to Liquid Galaxy If you followed all the steps till now you have your app up and running. The next step is to click on the gear icon, where the settings of the Liquid Galaxy and Google Drive are. To connect with your Liquid Galaxy, type de IP Address, separating the numbers using dot and the password of the cluster. Hit connect so the ip and password will be saved on the device and you’ll be prompted if the connection could be established or not. The next step is logging with a Google Account so all the information can be saved there. Hit the Connect to drive button and add your credentials. If everything went well you will be prompted. There you go! You are now ready to enjoy the app and make the modifications you want. The app comes with some mock data to serve as demonstration, so you can start exploring different types of reforestation projects and seeds. ## Contributing Fill up issues, bugs or feature requests in our issue tracker.
