Android Developer Needed for Pickpocket-Alert App Using Motion Sensors

Job ID: 39498202

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I’m looking for an experienced Android developer to build a mobile app that detects potential pickpocketing events using motion sensors. The app should monitor when the phone is in a pocket or bag and trigger alerts if it detects sudden or suspicious movement — such as someone pulling the phone out without permission.
- Key Features Required:

Motion Detection System – uses accelerometer/gyroscope
Pocket Detection Mode – based on proximity/light sensor
Alarm or Vibration Alert
Stealth Camera (Optional) – silent front camera photo
GPS Logging – store location at trigger time
Quick Activation Toggle
Low Battery Usage

- Platform:
Android only (targeting Android 10 and up)

- Tech Needed:

Kotlin preferred (Java OK)
SensorManager, FusedLocationProvider, CameraX
Background Services

- Please Include:

Links to relevant apps you’ve built
How you’d approach the motion detection logic
Timeline + cost estimate

Goal: Build a simple, functional MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for real-world testing.
