Debugging, Exporting, and making changes to the radar chart

 By Austin Evans


       This week I started something new, I dove right this learning how to export a CSV file. For the file, it's a generic file being saved as a CSV file. Since most workout apps have a opion to export either their body metrics or the exercise. I was able to get the app to open a window to choose where the file will be saved but I couldn't get it to save as of right now. 

    Next I changed the way the look how the by having the radar data pop out. I kept the default color of the chart and used the color blue to filled out the line. I also was able to get the row click in the stats table up and running. The rows doesn't go to anywhere but just shows a toast message showing that it works. 


    How I appoarch the problem for the CSV file is by finding documents able CSV files in java. However, I found that a youtube video by a youtuber named Tech Tribe. He helped me understand how the CSV file in Java works. It's a quick video but easy to understand. Another way I was able to get a better understanding is by reaching out to the github docs. 

    For the graph I orginally had the web color set to blue but getting rid of that line of code an having the chart be the default color allowed the chart to have the data show up better. Next I set the actual line color to the blue that is in the set color pallet for the app and having it filled with the same color. 

    For the stats table problem I oginally had a method called rowClick asign to an OnClicked call in the xml file for the table. But since I am working in a fragment and not in activity going with that idea wouldn't work. In the fragment there is a method where the click events should go. This method is called OnCreateView where onClick listener will go. I made each row there on click event and having a toast pop up whenever a row is clicked.

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...
