Stats Part 3

 By Austin Evans 


    So this past week wasn't my best week. I was having a lot of trouble with the work I was given but what I worked on was the stats table. I was able to get the stats table to show the goals completed, by taking the goal history from our CUser class. This feature is used to show the user the number of goals they have completed since starting the app. The cool part about this is that if the user closes out the app, and goes back in the goals they have completed will still be there. 


This photo is a newer photo of the table but as of right now the user hasn't completed any of their goals. But if they do complete then the goal counter would count up in the stats table. 


With the older version of the table, I had the user track their total workout but it didn't make much sense to me on why and how to track the total workout. So I changed it to Routine Completed. Another thing I finished this week was to get the radar chart up and working with changing data. The original way I was trying to go about it was giving me a viewing error which was causing the app to crash when the stats page icon was clicked. I also got the button for the line to be view up and running.

With this button, the user will be able to see the line graph from anywhere in the app. The user would just tap the icon and will be taken to another page to view their progress in chart form.

      This past week was a problem one of the more important weeks for me since I had to do the stats table and get it working. Although not getting the radar chart up and running was the biggest impact on the project there since it pushed everything back. The efforts of this needed to be more and need to have the same effort going into the rest of the project.


    Approaching these problems was interesting. As I mentioned before, the radar chart was giving me an error about view the graph. To this day I am not really sure why I'm getting the error but I decided to go a different route to get the radar chart working. At first, I thought that I needed to try and get the data from the library into an ArrayList. But with stepping back from the problem and talking with my teammates I was able to figure a way to get it to work. By having the int called exercise counter and have it call the CUser class like I did for the goals completed in the stats table. After I would have to count the exercises for each muscle group. 

    For the button for the line graph, I also was having some trouble with that but soon figured out by brainstorming with my team that I was doing the code in the wrong class. I was working in our Exercise class and not our ExerciseData class which was causing the button not the work. So it was an easy fix by changing the class for where my code would go. After that, I really just need to add a case to the switch case saying that the button or icon goes to this activity. 

    Other than that, I have nothing else. I plan on working on the Line Graph and having the data go through the CDataEntry class so we can any type of data shown if needed. Thank you for reading and have a great week!

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...
