Build the app

  • Coil

Here is a 15-min video describing the architecture of the app : https://youtu.be/Qk7gX1CaMk4

Mapbox setup

Create a file named gradle.properties in the ~/.gradle/ directory, with the following content:

MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN={ACCESS_TOKEN}
MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN={DOWNLOADS_TOKEN}

Replace respectively {ACCESS_TOKEN} and {DOWNLOADS_TOKEN} with the mapbox default public token and the secret download key.
