[![get_it_on_play](https://developer.android.com/images/brand/en_generic_rgb_wo_60.png)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.austindizzy.wvuprtstatus.app)

[As featured on WVUToday](http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/n/2014/08/15/student-employee-develops-wvu-prt-status-app-to-alert-riders-about-service), this Android application is to help the community at West Virginia University track the uptime status of the [Personal Rapid Transit \(PRT\)](https://transportation.wvu.edu/prt) and be notified instantly of any service disruptions.

The app receives data from [a companion server](https://github.com/AustinDizzy/prtstatus-go), which is written in Go and running on Google App Engine, using Firebase Cloud Messaging.

## Technologies

The Android app currently supports Android versions 4.0.3 (ICS) through 8.1 (Oreo) and up, using:

* [Room](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/arch/persistence/room/package-summary.html) - for local data storage

* [Volley](https://github.com/google/volley) - for making and managing network requests

* [Firebase](htps://firebase.google.com) - for sending event notifications and messages to clients, displaying ads from [AdMob](https://ww.google.com/admob/), and collecting app analytics
