Documents, Documents, and Documents

 By Austin Evans


    This week was nothing heavy on the work. My team and I got together and filled out mostly documents for the app. These documents are normally filled out by other people higher in the chain but it's nice to see how it is done. The documents that we filled out are called Tech Docs which is how we are going to structure the app in a development type of way. This is important because it gives a detailed list of what classes and functions we are going to use for the app. 

    My effort on this document was a little since I was tasked with learning about Google Firebase Cloud Storage. I didn't really work on the document but I gave my team information on how the Cloud Storage is going to work. Another document the team and I worked on was the ReadMe doc for Github. I worked on the part where users can get in contact with the developing teaming with any issues the user comes across while using the app. 

    For the ReadMe document, I looked into examples of ReadMe documents on Github. However, I didn't really come into many problems filling the ReadMe document since it wasn't really hard. In the end, my teammate Josh mentions a Google Form for use to fill out and submit to the team. 

     Although this week was pretty light on the blog, the more I do in this project, the more the blog will be longer and in more depth. If you would like to read my other teammate's blogs I'll add them below.

Time for Graphs and Stats

Image
 By Austin Evans          So a lot has changed in the past week and I guess you can this past month. Since this is the first month of development for the app I started working on Firebase and the month to working on the graphs and stats for the app. So what exactly did I work on for the past week... I worked on making the library we found work with the app. The library is called MPAndroidChart which is an open-source library that allows the app to have access to all kinds of graphs and charts. With the graphs, I was also working on the stats page of the app. I was in charge of making a dashboard-type page that features a radar chart that focuses on the work muscle group the user has been focusing on. Next, I added a stats table to the page showing when the user started their journey to fitness, how many goals that the user has completed, the total reps, and what the most frequent workout the user has used. Below is a photo of the stats page: So what kind of...

Up in Fire goes Firebase

 By Austin Evans     This week was full of trying time and a lot of research. Last I mention that I was going to get Firebase up and run where we can load images from the Firebase Storage to our app. However, finding a way was a bit more tricky. Since the goal from last week is the same as this week my efforts haven't changed. It's still important that the images are loaded into the app. During the week I and other teammate were able to get the Firebase working but it becomes a problem since the app hit the limit of the free plan that we have.     How did I approach the solution well since the images are not that big in memory so adding them to the app won't be too bad. However, if we were going to keep Firebase then we were going to use a library called Glide. Since we are going to store the images locally finding a way is going to be new. I don't have much to say about this week since we having to change late into the week.  After reading my blog, I highl...

Stats..... To be Continue

By Austin Evans           Hello and welcome back! As the title said the main focus for me was to continue completing the stats table. This past was probably the hardest since it was a holiday weekend and I was traveling from Florida to Illinois however, some work was done. I was able to get the counter for the Goals Complete. Although trying to get the job done was a little bit tricky with calling the class but was able to figure it out. This shows the importance of the table on how could help the app in the long run. I mainly used Stackover flow and android development documents. For the functionality of the table, I made the listen item as a TextView so I can have it update the row whenever the goal is completed. When the app is first downloaded the stats table starts out fresh but since everything is being saved to the local storage the stats table stays updated.         The approach for this feature is still modding into th...
