Hi, Most fitness apps can track a route. The real challenge is maintaining reliable background GPS collection on Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor devices where aggressive battery optimization constantly kills location services. Your proof-of-concept requirement shows you understand the hardest technical risk first—and I completely agree with that approach. I have experience building Flutter-based location tracking applications, real-time location systems, map integrations, chat-enabled platforms, and backend APIs. I'm familiar with Android foreground services, vendor-specific battery restrictions, location persistence strategies, and long-running background tracking workflows. ✔ I confirm my willingness to build the offline Android demo as the first step. ✔ Demo will include continuous GPS collection, route rendering, state detection (moving/stationary), detailed logging, source code, build instructions, and demonstration video. ✔ Tracking logic will support 5-second intervals while moving and 15-second intervals while stationary, including lock screen, background execution, and battery-saving scenarios. What stands out is that you're validating the most critical technical challenge before committing to full development. That's exactly how high-reliability tracking products should be built. I'd be happy to discuss the testing process, target devices, and demo acceptance criteria before we begin.

Hi there, I understand you need a Flutter sports and chatting app starting with a paid offline Android GPS demo that proves stable background tracking every 5/15 seconds, route drawing with AMap, visible logs, and reliability on Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, lock screen, background, and battery-saving modes. I have strong experience with Flutter, Android foreground services, background location policies, Chinese Android vendor restrictions, AMap route rendering, SMS login, LBS nearby users, PHP backend APIs, database schema design, NetEase Yunxin IM integration, and app store publishing. I will first build the verifiable offline tracking demo with source code, build guide, and video proof, then proceed to Phase 1 with SMS auth, nearby users, profiles, sports tracking, Yunxin chat, backend architecture, testing, documentation, and store launch support. Q1: Should the demo be native Android first or Flutter-based from the start? Q2: Which SMS provider will be used for Phase 1 login? Q3: Do you already have AMap keys and Chinese Android store developer accounts ready? Best regards, Stratos

Hi I can help build the offline Android GPS tracking demo and the full sports/chatting app using Flutter, native Android location services, AMap, PHP backend APIs, MySQL, NetEase Yunxin IM SDK, SMS login, and push-ready mobile architecture. The main technical challenge is maintaining stable background GPS tracking on Chinese Android devices because Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, and Honor apply aggressive battery and background process restrictions. My approach is to build the demo with a foreground service, wake-aware tracking logic, adaptive moving/stationary intervals, persistent local logs, route drawing, and clear test evidence for locked screen and battery-saving scenarios. For Phase 1, I can structure the app around SMS authentication, nearby users, profiles, activity tracking, IM integration, and a PHP backend with clean API and database design. I also understand that the offline demo is the required first step before the formal app discussion. I can provide source code, build instructions, and a short test video showing location state, interval, timestamp, accuracy, and route drawing behavior. This project needs careful native Android handling under Flutter, and I can focus on stability first rather than adding unnecessary features too early. Thanks, Hercules

Hey, for the demo I'd collect GPS inside a persistent foreground service and handle the OEM battery whitelist that kills background tracking on Huawei and Xiaomi. Done this before on Chinese devices, and the speed-based 5s/15s switch is the easy part once that's sorted. EMUI 12+ or older? The workaround differs and I've got both.

I’ve worked extensively with background GPS tracking on Chinese Android devices, including Huawei and Xiaomi, adapting to their aggressive battery and background restrictions. For example, I helped a fitness app maintain stable location updates on locked screens and battery saver modes across multiple vendor models. I’ll build the offline Android demo first, ensuring it meets your exact requirements: 5-second updates while moving, 15 seconds while stationary, with a visible log of status, intervals, accuracy, and timestamps. I suggest using foreground services combined with vendor-specific power management exemptions to maintain stability. Do you prefer using the native AMap SDK from the start or a Flutter plugin to render the route? Once the demo is verified, I’ll proceed quickly with the full Phase 1 development including backend APIs and Yunxin SDK integration, ensuring full compatibility with Chinese app stores. I’m ready to start the demo within 1 business day and will deliver detailed build instructions and a demo video covering all test conditions on real devices.
