Week 4 Update

Tuesday 4/19:

        Today in lab the group continued to work on coding for the app.  Luke worked on finalizing the log in and registration screens so that the user could put their information into the data base.  He found trouble because his code could not locate necessary files to put the users information in the data base, but he worked to resolve those issues.  Mercedes coded a timer that will be used to count down the time after a meal.  As of right now it works more like a stopwatch, but she is working to make it count down so it will function as a timer.  I worked on code for the calendar display so that the pills would look like appointments in a regular calendar.  This is more challenging than I thought because it is hard to find tutorials online where people make calendars that have the same function that we need for our app.  The webpage that I used to research coding the calendar is http://www.viralandroid.com/2015/11/android-calendarview-example.html.   After much struggling, I was able to create a calendar that will hopefully be able to be hooked to a database.  This database will be linked to the list that I created last week so the users information will be displayed in a list format when the open up the app.  Overall, the app is coming along pretty nicely, as we continue to chip away at these large coding tasks.

Wednesday 4/20:

         The group is continually working on coding and learning the software still.  This is a very complex process, so there is not that much to report.

Thursday 4/21:
          After deciding not to meet last week, the group has decided that we will definitely meet on Sunday to check progress.


Friday 4/22:
         The group did not work on coding for the app today.  Now have to begin thinking about our final presentation, and make sure app is fully functioning or just about by week 7.

Saturday 4/23:
         No progress was made on the project today.

Sunday 4/24:
           Today the group met to discuss the progression of the app.  Many of the individual pieces are done, so we are going to begin working together to bring things together.  This way we will be able to have a basic structure to start completing the app.  This week in lab, the goal is to get all of the files we have coded onto one computer so that we can start this process.
