Week 7 Updates

Tuesday 5/10:

        This week, the final report draft was due.  We submitted that before lab, and writing the report shed some light on what things still needed to be done.  Katie worked to get the homepage set up.  This will be the last thing that will be put into place, but the basic framework can be laid out so that we can get all of the buttons on the homepage to be ready to use.  She also did research on how to add in notifications so that the app will notify the user when it is time to take a pill.   Luke worked on the main screen that will be used to add and edit prescription information.  He has that working almost all the way, and it will be ready to go by next week.  Mercedes continued to work to debug the timer so that it would countdown correctly and run as it is intended. The plan was to finish the app this week and debug for the next two weeks, so we are not completely on track.  However, we have been debugging throughout the entire process, so there is not an issue in pushing back the completion of the app.  It should not be difficult to get running after all the pieces are in place.

Wednesday 5/11:

         Everyone is continuing to code on their own and research each individual piece.  Katie has begun to look into how to put the whole app together so that we can compile it into a single file and run it as a program together.  Although this is difficult and slightly confusing, we are confident that the app will run smoothly wen it is all done.

Thursday 5/12:
         Luke worked to add a feature that changes the number of add time buttons based on the number of doses taken.  This is so that you can only input times for the number of doses that you need to take.  He also created six different time pickers that work independently.  This fixed an issue where all the timers could only be set once.  Then he created a call to a CSV (Comma Separated Values File) which stores the data for each prescription on the app itself to be called by a list view which was coded by Katie.  Once it has been called by the list view, you can click on the item in the list to edit the prescription.  

Friday 5/13:

        Due to the fact that it is Friday the thirteenth, the group took a day off for fear of bad luck.  

Sunday 5/15:

        The group did not meet today, but will likely make up for it by meeting tomorrow.  The weekend was a little bit hectic schedule wise, so it is easier for everyone to meet on Monday this week.
