Abstract

With the immense use of android operating systems in today’s technology, Android apps became part of our daily lives and we use different apps for different purposes. The motivation behind every location-based application is to give the user a live experience with real data in real-time. To ease the searching of nearby places for the user, this android application provides the details of nearby locations like restaurants, hospitals, emergency services, travel services and also COVID vaccination centres like an assistant that answers the user’s query based on different queries. The apps that are available already use location and show the google maps inside the application which makes the application heavy and the cost of API request is high, but in this application, the user interface will be simple and it will fetch only the required data from different API Service providers and the data adapters for the application change based on different API service providers.
