• Clone project by using below command in the terminal and make sure you have git installed on your system:

• Now open the project in Android Studio.
• Gradle build will not be successful because of missing google-services.json file. For google-services.json, you need to connect Firebase. (make sure you are using same account for firebase console and Android Studio) For setting up Firebase Go to:

  Tools >> Firebase >> Firestore >>  Read and Write Document with Firestore >> Connect to Firebase

  Tools >> Firebase >> Firebase Storage >> Upload and Download a File With Cloud Storage >> Connect To Firebase

Note: If you get the following error then just change the package name and you should be good to go.

No clients were able to be added to your Firebase project for the following reasons:
An app with this package name and SHA1 is already connected to a Google project. If you have used a Google API previously, please select that project in the Connect to an existing project list. 

• Now build project navigating to Build >> Rebuild Project. If gradle build is successful the proceed to next step. If not, then try cleaning the project by navigating to Build >> Clean Project.

• Now find and open your google-services.json file and navigate to res >> values >> string.xml. Now replace the following string variable in string.xml file using valid value from google-services.json file. You can find google-services.json file in the app directory inside your project.

    <string name="database_url">place your firebase_url value here</string>
    <string name="firebase_api">place current_key value here</string>
    <string name="firebase_application_id">place mobilesdk_app_id value here</string>

• Now obtain Geocoding API by visiting https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/overview. After obtaining API navigate to res >> values >> string.xml and replace dummy value of google-maps-api with valid API.

    <string name="google_maps_api">your geocoding api here</string>

• Now visit https://console.firebase.google.com. Login using the same account which you have used earlier and Select asset-management project.

• Currently we are using pre-trained model by Google for object detection. But if you want to use your own model or any custom model. Then you need to put your protbuf (.pb) file and labels file in assets folder.

Note

The project using Firestore Database. At the time of creating this project, the Firestore was still in beta and neither support nor advanced queries was available for performing complex operations. So, there were many workarounds to make it work.

Now, Firestore API provides much more advanced queries that have not been implemented in the project yet.

So feel free to make a contribution and submit a pull request.
