iOS and Android versions can share the same database on back4app
Please note that we cannot provide a demo APK because, unless you’re close to our location, you won’t see any point of interest nearby you so you won’t be able to test the app, that’s why we’ve prepared a nice video preview of this app for you.

Finder is a Universal App Template for you to build your own Points of Interest app. Mostly dedicated to a city, you can easily add POI’s data directly on your Parse Dashboard on back4app.com or on adminca.com.
Once you’ll create a new POI row, you will have to manually type its category, just make sure it matches the uppercase and lowercase characters of the names stored in the Categories class, otherwise, the app won’t recognize them.
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.
Finder is a native Android Studio project, Universal, super easy to customize, backend with Parse SDK hosted on http://back4app.com
About Parse SDK and back4app
Read this article for more info about back4app and Parse SDK: https://hubpages.com/technology/Parse-SDK-will-not-shutdown-in-thanks-to-back4app
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:
