Steven's Personal Log
Again, I had a slow week due to complications with running the emulator in Android Studio however I finally managed to get my hands on an actual android device so testing will be much easier. Shortly after though, the storms hit and my power/internet was very flaky for awhile due to the flooding. It seems to be fixed as of now so I will resume testing and working through tutorials.
Last week, not much went on other than playing around with Android Studio more and further researching android development. This week, I drew up 4 rough sketches for Milestone 5. As I was putting my ideas on paper, I found that some of them were not going to work as well as I originally thought or would look clunky but I also began to come up with some new ideas that could flow very nicely with the app if we can implement them smoothly. Most of these ideas are purely supplemental and would likely be considered out of the scope of requirements from our client, but I believe they would be nice additions nonetheless.
We met with our clients on Tuesday to get a chance to ask some questions and gain a much better understanding of what this app will be used for. We also had our first meeting with Professor Vidal where we relayed all that we went over with the client and received tips on how we should move forward from this point. I completed the "Project Description" portion of Milestone 4. I have also downloaded and begun playing around with the tutorials on Android Studio which is what we will use for development of the app.
This week, our group had our first meeting where we completed Milestone 1. We mainly discussed the approaches we could take to completing this project however we have yet had a chance to ask detailed questions with our client, so the depth our group's discussion was limited. We plan to meet with him sometime this week so we can have a better understanding of what we will really need to do. In the meantime, I will be looking into information about developing Android apps and what tools we can use.
