## Google Santa Tracker for Android 🎅🤶

## About

[Google Santa Tracker app for Android][play-store] is an educational and entertaining tradition

that brings joy to millions of children (and children at heart) across the world over the December

holiday period.

The app is a companion to the [Google Santa Tracker][santa-web] website

([repository here](https://github.com/google/santa-tracker-web)), showcasing unique platform

capabilities like Android Wear watchfaces, device notifications and more.

## Features

* A beautiful designed village

* Exciting games like Penguin Swim and Rocket Sleigh

* Use of Dynamic Feature Modules (each game is a separate module, fetched dynamically on first run)

* Interactive Android Wear watchfaces (with sound!)

* Videos, animations and more.

## Building the app

First up, Santa Tracker is powered by [Firebase][firebase], so you'll need to enable it

on your Google account over at the [Firebase console][fire-console]. Once you're in the

console, follow these steps:

 * Create a new project

 * Add Firebase to your Android app

 * Package name: `com.google.android.apps.santatracker.debug`

 * Debug signing certificate can be blank, or follow the instructions in the tooltip to find yours.

 * Save the `google-services.json` file to the `santa-tracker/` directory

Now you should be able to plug your phone in (or fire up an emulator) and run:

    ./gradlew santa-tracker:installDebug

Alternatively, import the source code into Android Studio (File, Import Project).

Note: You'll need Android SDK version 28. If you're unsure about this, use

Android Studio and tick the appropriate boxes in the SDK Manager.
