Week 3 Update

Tuesday 4/12:
      Today was our lab day.  The group worked on coding the app.  Luke made a home screen for registration that will be used for people to register themselves in the data base that will be created.  This was a difficult task, but he was able to run it on the coding software so we know it works.  Mercedes focused her efforts on trying to create a wheel that could be used for setting a timer for when a pill needs to be taken before or after a meal at a certain time.  I concentrated on creating a list view that we will be able to convert to a calendar list so that the user can see a list of their medications when they open the app.  
      Since none of us really have any experience coding in java, which is what Android Studio uses, we have been coding by watching videos.  It has been difficult to learn the different type of coding software, so the use of YouTube and the Internet has been extremely useful.  We are continuing to work outside of class, and our plan is to be finished coding the app by week 7 so that we can spend  the remaining weeks debugging the app so that it actually works.

Wednesday 4/13:
       The group continues to work individually on coding. 

Thursday 4/14:
      Today, each group member worked individually on some coding, continuing the projects that were started in class on Tuesday. Many YouTube videos have been watched and the coding is starting to make progress.

Friday 4/15:
       The Fusion 360 assignment is due today, so the group members are focusing on finalizing the designs for the fifteen part assembly.

Sunday 4/17:
       Sundays are usually the meet-up day, but the group was unable to get together this week. This does not mean we have not been working, though. The different pages of the app are continuously being designed and coded. Everyday may seem like similar work, as it is, because learning how to and actually coding is a very long and strenuous process. Each member continues to work on each of our pages and when together, we will combine them all together getting closer to the full app.
