Weekly Logs

1. Timothy Ngai

Week 10 (March 20)

• I did set up a game loop. Now i am able to use simple X and Y to create animation. I am going to use this to make the dart animation.
• I need to research on getting the X and Y coordinate of screen touching or other method to control user input
• Since i need to do some research, It may take some time. I hope i can finish the game within the following week

Week 9 (March 13)

• I did some research and have some other game code using surfaceview, thread, sprite on gameloop and stuff. i am setting up the gaming environment now using surfaceview, thread and sprite.

• Since this is the first time, I may get a lot of errors during this weeks works.

2. Joshua Byer

Week 11 (March 27)

• I optimized the fragment usage so I don't have to constantly change fragments, GUI still needs work.

• I have 2 labs I have to work on for this course.

Week 10 (March 20)

• Last week I completed fragment usage along with complete base prototype for app.
• I intend to optimize fragment usage and increase GUI graphics, may include an instruction screen.
• Things are going along as expected.

Week 9 (March 13)

4. Vasil Rimar - Norbert Curiciac

Week 11 (March 28)

In this week we completed 80% of our project.

Vasil

• Successfully completed the local database and UI development .
• Research a new memory efficient method, recommended by Google, to pull the web service data and store it on the local device.
• He used GSON, Voley and SugerORM to pull data , and store it locally on the device.

Norbert

• Added the markers based on the new database.

Work needed to be done:

1. Location List Filters (complete, pending, incomplete)
2. Map Filters (complete, pending, incomplete)
3. Login Authenticate via API
4. Prepare DETAILS page (fix drop-down models)

Week 10 (March 21)

Vasil:

• He is working on the final database and UI design and development
• Loading Web Api data to database

Norbert

• Created a temporary TreeMap object which stores Web Api data
• Loaded the Web Api JSON data to temporary TreeMap objects
• Created Temporary Map View, which displays the map
• Added Markers to the Map, which using the Web Api coordinates
• Created a Detailed View which displays more information about the current marker in case the marker was clicked ( InfoWindowClickListener() )
• We need to finish, final UI, local database and Views next week.

Week 9 (March 13)

• Gotten web service done and researched how to complete other functionalities such as Material Design
• Start developing the final UI next week
• Being delayed due to the midterms and assignments

5. Elsi Nushaj & Hyungryul Chun

Week 9 (March 13)

• Worked on the UI screens (Elsi) and setting up database integration (Steve) for the application.

• Continue working on the UI screen and start populating the database

• Problems running into database integration and the amount of course work from other classes

Week 10 (March 20)

• Developed more of the UI screens (Elsi) and database integration is now set up (Steve).

• We will try and finalize the UI for next week and get a good amount of database entries set up. We will also look into youtube integration and likely the random generator function.

• There is a lot of course work that is being piled on and it might be tough to keep up with the pre determined schedule. UI development is a little back tracked due to an assignment being due today, but Elsi will likely be back on track before the end of next week.

Week 11 (March 27)

• This week more UI work was done and is nearly entirely complete, aside from the BMI calculator screens. The timer visuals and function have been set up to receive the time from a user (Elsi). The random generator function was deferred to the following week as well as some of the DB entries. Facebook and youtube integration was researched a bit and some DB content was created (Steve).

• We have been a little back tracked due to a heavy course load from other courses and haven't been able to link up the DB aspect yet even though it is set up (Steve), but will be able to get back on track next week. Next week we plan on integrating the DB and trying to set up any of the two APIs (facebook and youtube).

• Similar to the other weeks the amount of course work and deadlines have made meeting the milestones a little more chaotic, but we are still getting work out and feel we are still on track. Other delays would likely be from the final projects remaining from other courses.
