Dank Memes (work-in-progress 👷🔧️👷‍♀️⛏)

This is a social media app for sharing memes (funny pictures). The app is mainly written in Kotlin and uses the Gradle build system. It uses Firebase for the backend with Firebase Functions providing additional server side functions. You can view the Functions code in the Dank-Memes-Functions repo with the guide on deploying it.

You can download the app from the Play Store here: Dank Memes

Project setup

To setup the project in your machine

• Clone the repo

foo@bar:~$ git clone https://github.com/tirgei/DankMemes.git

You can then import the project to your Android Studio then head to your Firebase Console

• Create a new Dank Memes project.

• Enable Email/ Google sign in

• Add a new Android project under Project Settings menu

• Fill in the project details then download the google-services.json file and place it in app/ directory

• Create a keys.xml file in the app/src/main/res/values/ directory where we will place our API keys.

First we'll add the Google Sign In Key to enable users to sign in with Google. This can be obtained from the Authentication page of your Firebase Project. Under the Sign-In method tab you should see the Google option and on expanding it copy the Web client ID under the Web SDK configuration option:

// Google Sign in key
<string name="google_signin_key">YOUR_GOOGLE_SIGN_IN_KEY</string>

For native ads, the following are required (You can use test IDs from the Admob docs)

// Admob
<string name="admob_app_id">YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID</string>
<string name="admob_native_ad_id">YOUR_ADMOB_TEST_AD_ID</string>

The Test IDs are:

• admob_app_id - ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713
• admob_native_ad_id - ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2247696110

If you are having issues configuring ads or you simply want the ad free version, checkout the ad-free-version branch:

foo@bar:~$ git checkout ad-free-version

• Sync your gradle. After successful sync, you can run the app to test it out.
