Import and Exports continue

 By Austin Evans 


    This week I worked on getting the Imports and exports fully functional. For the export, I was tasked with having the file be formatted. Since we are saving the file as a CSV I need to find a way to have to split the data in the file. I first needed to find where I can get the information for the routine history and ended up using the routine class for the information. Since the routines are always increasing in the list I had it loop. After that, I called each function that matches the column-like name I called cRoutine.getM_szName(), having the name saved for the exercise name. I did the same thing for weight, height, and reps. Finally, have the information save to the file and we get this:












    For the import I was able to get it to work for android 11.  Here I made another acivity and class for the import, I have a permission function in the import where if the user allows the app then the file would be imported. In the beginning I had a toast message pop up but for some reason it doesn't show. So instead I have the activity showing a text view and reading if the file was successful or not.

       I would like to take a step back and realize that the development cycle of this app is almost other. It's really cool to see how far the app has come and I excited to see where to go next!

Software Design Doc and UI Mockups

  By Austin Evans     Hello there! This is the first-week entree for the RepAdvisor. This week I was tasked to work on the part of a document called Software Design Document. The part I work was the priority on each of the things the app will do. Another thing I worked on this past week was starting a UI mockup for the app. I was given the rest timer and progress graph. As my effort for the document wasn't really important, the work on the UI was. This is the way I can add some detail to the app, something to look back on and say that I did that.      SO what did I do to accomplish these tasks, well for starters the Software Design Document, I work with my team trying to find out what is important and what can wait. For the UI Mockup, it was a little different. One of my team members gave us a template for what the app would look like. After that, I looked up timers and compare them to find the best one. Since we want to keep the design of the app to be cle...

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 ...

Android versions are confusing!

Image
 By Austin Evans     As the title states my main focus this past week was to get the Import and Export working for the android version 7 to 11. The funny thing is that each version of android changes the way a file is stored on the phone. Like in Android 11 we can save a file to the external storage without an extension using something called a MediaStore. However, in android 10 we need that extension to save the file directly. These changes to the save file method for the file cause a problem with each of the versions. Although through trial and error I was able to get the Android 10 to import a file. Since the file is written through the app, so having the different versions won't effort how the file is written. Only saving the file cause a problem. So how did I fix this, well I got a little help online and asking questions with a person I am working with. Through that, I figured out how i.e. the mention of the extension. With that in play, Andriod 10 and 11 are working...
