JournalApp (Android Version)

This app was originally created by Marco L. Napoli (@JediPixels) in his book entitled "Beginning Flutter: A Hands On Guide To App Development" and slightly modified by me.

Basic requirements

If you want to try to run this app on your own, you should follow the steps below.

Create a new Firebase Project

Go to Firebase and create a new project. Important things to do:

1. Download the google-services.json file and replace the one found in \JournalApp\android\app by the downloaded one.
2. Go to the Authentication tab on the Firebase console and enable the Email/Password option.
3. Go to the Database and create one. For the Security Rules, choose "Start in locked mode" and paste the following code:

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /journals/{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if resource.data.uid == request.auth.uid;
      allow create: if request.auth.uid != null;
    }
  }
}

Setting build.gradle

1. Open the file \JournalApp\android\app\build.gradle

2. In the line 41, replace the Android Package Name (in double quotes) applicationId "com.domainname.journal" with the one you chose in the firebase project configuration.

Screens

Login Page, Home Page, and Add/Edit Page, respectively.
