After Demo test passed, i will offer UI/UX design for you to start formal development. If you are also good at APP UI/UX design , we can negotiate extra fee for app UI/UX design which is not included in current bidding price. Current bidding price only obtains fee of demo and formal app development. ** NON-NEGOTIABLE FIRST STEP (Please Read Before Applying) To ensure we are a match, we require a small, verifiable proof-of-concept before discussing budget or timeline. You will build a 100% offline Android demo app (no server/API needed) that implements: [login to view URL] GPS location collection 2.Real-time route/trail drawing on a map Only candidates whose demo passes our background location stability test will continue developing the formal app. Demo must include source code, build instructions, and a short video demonstrating the background tracking working on locked-screen, background running and battery-saving modes of major Chinese Android devices (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo). * Offline Android Demo app Requirements: The minimum tracking interval required is 5 seconds. We require continuous background tracking for at least 30 minutes, and the demo must maintain stable tracking without interruption under lock screen, background running, and battery saver conditions, verified on real android devices such as Huawei and Xiaomi . More Demo’s detailed requirements are shown below: 1. Moving state: location every 5 seconds 2. Stationary state: location every 15 seconds 3. Stationary = speed < 0.5 m/s; moving = speed ≥ 0.5 m/s 4. Apply this rule both indoor and outdoor, foreground and background/lock screen/Battery-Saving-Mode 5.

Hi, I have carefully reviewed your requirements, including the offline GPS demo and the formal sports & chat application. I have strong experience building Flutter applications with background location tracking, real-time features, chat integration, maps, and scalable backend systems. We understand the challenges of keeping location updates running reliably in the background, including on customized Android devices. I’m comfortable starting with the offline Android demo as the first step and can deliver: * Stable background GPS tracking * Real-time route drawing using AMap * Source code, build instructions, and demo video * Clean, well-structured code ready for Phase 1 After the demo is approved, we can move on to the complete application, including SMS login, Nearby Users, NetEase Yunxin integration, activity tracking, user profiles, and the PHP backend. Due to NDA restrictions, I can’t publicly share links to similar projects. However, once we connect, I’ll be happy to share relevant work samples, architecture details, and demonstrations privately. A few questions: 1. Which Flutter version do you prefer for the project? 2. Will you provide the AMap API keys and NetEase Yunxin credentials for the demo? 3. Do you already have UI/UX wireframes for Phase 1, or should we assist with the design as well? I look forward to discussing the project and building a long-term partnership. Thanks! Purnima

Hi there, I can help you build the offline Android demo app with continuous GPS tracking and real-time route drawing on AMap, ensuring it works smoothly in both foreground and background with proper moving/stationary logic and full logging for testing purposes. Would you prefer the tracking layer to be implemented in native Kotlin for better stability on Huawei and Xiaomi devices, or should I start with a Flutter-based approach first? Kindly drop me a message to discuss more in detail. Thanks.

Hi, I understand you need a Flutter sports and chatting app, starting with a verifiable offline Android AMap demo for stable 5-second/15-second background GPS tracking, route drawing, logs, and Chinese Android vendor compatibility before Phase 1 development. I have experience with Flutter, Android background location services, AMap integration, PHP backend/API design, SMS login, LBS nearby users, IM SDK integration, app-store release workflows, and modular mobile architecture for iOS and Android. I am willing to build the offline demo first, then proceed with Phase 1 using Flutter, PHP backend, database schema, NetEase Yunxin integration, activity tracking, profiles, and store-ready testing within the required workflow. Q1: Will you provide AMap keys and real test devices for Huawei/Xiaomi/OPPO/Vivo validation? Q2: Should the demo be native Android first or Flutter-based Android demo? Q3: Can you share the Phase 1 UI/UX scope and SMS provider details after demo approval? Best regards, Stratos

I understand the critical need for stable, continuous background GPS tracking on major Chinese Android devices with trusted location intervals. I have handled similar challenges for a fitness app targeting the Chinese market, where vendor-specific battery optimizations and location restrictions caused tracking interruptions. In that project, I implemented fine-tuned background services that dynamically adjusted location requests based on movement state, delivering seamless route tracking over 30+ minutes in locked and battery saver modes. For your demo, I will build the offline Android app using the AMap SDK exactly as you described, ensuring location is requested every 5 seconds when moving and every 15 seconds when stationary, with accurate logs of state, intervals, and timestamps visible onscreen. I’ll test on Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo devices to confirm stable background tracking under all conditions. Could you clarify if you prefer a foreground service with notification for persistent tracking or a different approach? Also, do you want the logs exportable for debug? I am ready to deliver the offline demo within 1 business day, including source code, build instructions, and a demo video on real devices as requested. Once approved, we can proceed quickly with Phase 1. Looking forward to starting the demo test right away.
