StoresAround | Android Universal Store Finder App Template

Both iOS and Android version can share the same Parse database

StoresAround is a Universal App Template where you can let people see and submit stores nearby, it has Localization service, search by Category and up to 100 Km nearby.
It has a News section that you can edit on your Parse Dashboard, as well as inserting/editing the Stores details and images.
Users can submit their stores for review, you as the Admin of the app may daily enter your Parse Dashboard to check out and approve those stores by simply switching the field isPending to False.
Since its backend is by Parse you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO php files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.

Since its backend is by Parse Server, you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO php files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.

You may also use the Adminca Panel as a great alternative to insert/edit data in your Parse Dashboard, after you’ll create your app on back4app, create a free account on http://adminca.com and create a new Panel, choose self-hosted Parse server and paste your Host, Application ID and Master Key in the relative fields (you can find them into Core Settings of your back4app panel)

StoresAround is a native Android Studio project, Universal, easy to customize, backend with Parse SDK hosted on http://back4app.com.

Can I host Parse Server on my own server?

Yes, although I don’t provide support for the setup process, you can read the official Guide here: http://parseplatform.org

What about free support for this template?

I can offer free support for bugs encountered in the original code. Instead, if you’ve edited the code and messed something up with it, I may apply some fee to fix it either via TeamViewer or by checking your app project files directly on my computer.

How do I rename the app’s package name?

Read this tutorial to learn how to rename a package name: https://hubpages.com/technology/Android-How-to-rename-an-app-package

Should I use the latest version of Android Studio to edit this template?

Yes, I always update my apps to the latest version of the IDE and you also should make sure you’ve updated the Android Tools to their latest version of the Android SDK manager.

How do I remove AdMob banner ads?

Enter the .xml files where there’s an AdView and remove its code:

    <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/admobBanner" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        ads:adSize="BANNER" 
        ads:adUnitId="@string/ADMOB_BANNER_UNIT_ID" 
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" 
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
    </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

Enter the .java files where there’s an AdRequest instance into its onCreate() method and remove its code:

        // Init AdMob banner
        AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.admobBanner);
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

Lastly, remove the play-services-ads reference in the build.gradle file:
```
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'
```
