Introduction

ToolBox is an Android Application that offers to the user the opportunity to make the most of the sensors of its own device. You can use a tool to make a measure and save it into your device or remotely on the google firebase cloud. It uses the remote firebase database to keep registered accounts (or google logins) and user data.

Supported tools at this time:

• Ruler (no sensors, just a ruler)
• Magnetometer
• Barometer
• Luxmeter
• Compass
• Step counter

Prospects for the future (create a pull request or fork it)

• The dark theme.
• New tools also working with external wireless devices.
• Other supported languages.
• Missing saving for some tool.
• Guest saves needs to be synced into the firebase realtime database of the next authenticated user.

Known issues and bugs

• The main interface requires a lot of time to perform firebase requests (just for authenticated users).
• After entering the save measure fragment, when you change the application language, it will crash.
• The ruler measure is not very accurate (very small values) but it works fine.
• If your device is offline and you save a measure, it will be saved locally (SQLite DB) but obviously it doesn't be synced to the firebase realtime database. If you close the application, turn the device online and re-open the application, the local saves won't be synced.
