Week 7

Welcome to week 7 of our apps development. Progress continues at a steady pace, albeit with some disruption from symposium day and graduation prep in the middle of the week. This week mostly consisted of bug fixes, and UI changes, focused on menus and the chat functions. Some bugs that resulted in the app crashing were also fixed, and some alterations were made in the data structure to make it more stable and easy to use. We have a stable app that is more aesthetically pleasing compared to last week, and the team will continue to try to streamline the UI, and add the remaining features including many to many chat and GPS among others.

-Clicking on a post gives more detail about that post
-No longer crashes on lower SDK versions
  -Chat activity in particular should no longer crash (might need more testing)
-Under the hood changes, mostly streamlining existing activites.
-Slowly switching over to navigation drawer menu instead of drop down
-Fixed issue with back button
-Minor UI changes

This blog is shorter than normal, mostly because many changes this week are background and data structure changes. (Also my blog style is more of a change-log than the other members of the team. N.D.)

Hope everyone out there is having a good day, and see you all next week for another update.

Hello World!

Hello World! This is the inaugural post for the Augustana College CSC 490: Team Dugong Project official blog. In this blog we will sort do a run down of the different things we are doing each week with our project. Our team consists of three members, James Compere, An Nguyen Dang, and Nicholas Dippner. The project we are doing is an app called LocalHobby, which was thought up by An. The general idea is LocalHobby will be an app that people can use to find other people in their area who have the same hobby as them and while using the app they can interact with those people through chat rooms. Currently we are in very early stages of the project, still making use cases and user stories and story boarding. This week our main progress was making a detailed proposal of our project for the CSC 490 class that we are doing this project for. The proposal consisted of a four page write up where we gave a detailed description of the rationale behind the project, the features and requirements ...
