Sochnev,Kirill | GEOtagged Memo Application (GEO tama) | GEO tama is an application that allows users to create, edit and view memos. But it isn’t a simple memo app, this application stores location where each memo was made and displays memos on interactive map as markers. Beside expected functionality of creating, editing, deletion of memos, GEO tama can also connect to user's Facebook app (using Facebook API) and share any selected memo as a link to Google map, text and date.
This application is targeted at people who travel a lot and want to somehow leave themselves a reminder about places they see and want to remember! Or this application can fit interests of any other ordinary user – after all, it’s practically a notepad with location and Facebook share capabilities. |

Project Proposal: Requirements
Imagine that you are submitting a proposal to a group of investors who may fund your project.
- What is the business value or possible impact of your project?
- Who are your users/clients? (You should have at least 3 users and only one of them may be your classmate.)
- What are the use cases of your Android app? (Include some diagrams if possible.) This should be the core section of your proposal. You should provide enough details for each use case.
- What is your Testing Environment?
- configuration of emulators
- Note: An emulator does not support Google Maps unless you do additional configuration. Check out the Discovery Zone on the course wiki.
- configuration of real Android devices (if available)
- Read the Dashboards to support your choice of the API level. [26]
- configuration of emulators
- What is the timeline for your project?
- What resources do you need to complete the project?
- 1 or 2 developers (names), specific Android device, other devices,...
- What is the description of your Android app?
- Read "App Developer Best Practices", especially the section on creating "a great app listing page"! [27]
- Draft a concise description of your Android app.
- Submit your project proposal (Word document or PDF) at Blackboard. Give a name to your project and it should also be the name of your Word document. If you are working as a team of 2 people, one submission is sufficient. Note: If you want to receive A or A+, your proposal must be free of spelling errors and address all the questions listed above.
Proposed Project: Design Requirements
- Design Objectives: a user-friendly AND responsive Android application.
- Design Tasks (based on use cases)
- Design the flows (e.g. user/UI flow, information flow) of your app.
- include the design of any back-end components (e.g. download data from a server, saving of data to a database)
- Identify a list of essential features that you are going to implement on a weekly basis. The list will be used as a checklist when we go through SCRUM exercises.
- It is understood that your design and the list of essential features may be refined and modified as we go through the iterations of development.
- Design the flows (e.g. user/UI flow, information flow) of your app.
- Adoption of relevant design principles
- relevant UI design principles from Dr. Olivier St-Cyr's course
- relevant Android Design Principles and Patterns on the Android Developer website
