Music Player App

Overview

Project made in collaboration with August Pratt. We wanted to create a music player app that controls the volume of the device with the speed of the user.

This is an Android Studio Project developed in Kotlin, using a wide range of technologies such as Google Firebase, GPS location or Google Ads.

Technologies Used

Requirements

For this project you will need a Google Ads ID credential which you can create and use here.

Furthermore, you will have to create and use your own Firebase database, importing your google-services.json or linking your project to Firebase in Android Studio. You will find more info here.
