Warm-ups and Cool-Downs

 By Austin Evans 


    This past week I focus on getting the Warms ups and Cooldowns looking the correct way on the app. I also got the export and import working in the setting part of the app. For the warms ups, we wanted to have them appear at the top of the routine play part of the app. 


    I also went through the exercise library that we have and manually picked out what were be the best warm-ups and create a few stretches for the cooldowns. Getting the warm-ups to appear at the top of the page was a bit difficult since the way the class is laid out by using a list view. So I had to go and create a header view  For the import I created another class where I can have the user pick a CSV file. The code is simple but doesn't work with android 10 or lower. For the export, I am having the app call an Arraylist of the routine history. However, I haven't got the correct format now but I was able to get the file to save to the local storage on the phone. Another I was able to get work on and really proud of is the permission library that I implemented into the app. Since having the app save a file from the app, a permission function was needed for the app. So now whenever the user saves a file for the first time they can choose to allow the app to save the file or not. As we get closer to the end of the development phase,  I can't believe how much the app is done and running. I'm excited to see what is next on the list!

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...
