I am not sure whether the title of the question is correct but here's my problem. I have an application with Sign up and Log in. The users have different functionalities based on their log in. All the users are led to the MapsActivity.java once they log in. I am differentiating the users there and setting the display accordingly.
What I want is if the user is logged in as xyz@gmail.com, other users shall be able to see the location of that user. It is working but on one phone. When I log in as xyz@gmail.com, the location is stored in the sharedpreferences and is also retrieved when I log in as other user on the same phone.
But when I log in as xyz@gmail.com from another phone and log in as other user from another phone (2 phones - 2 users), the phones aren't connected to each other. The xyz@gmail.com location can't be seen on the other phone.
So what am I doing wrong? How do I run the same application on 2 phones simultaneously?
Hope you understand my problem. Below is my MapsActivity.java to further clarify my problem.
Thank you.
