The downfall of import a csv file

 By Austin Evans


    This past week hasn't been the best week. I was tasked to get the imported file to show up on the routines page but to no luck. Since we are two weeks away from having the app finished, we had to think up another solution. So my teammate came up with saving the file as a binary file and not a CSV file. Since we are not saving the total amount of data to the CSV file, having it load in causes problems. Like not having the exercises show up. 

    Another thing that was a bust was to import a file from another app. Going with the app called WorkIt that my teammate suggested the file is saved additional information like date, cardio, and some other information. But since we have the additional data pulling in the file causes a NULL error toast. But to get around this problem we decided to scrap the idea for now and return to the issue at a later date.

    However, not everything that was done this past week was a bust. I was able to get a bug where the app would crash whenever an empty file would be export. However, getting this bug fixed was really easy. I created a new activity for the export and an activity class for the export also. By moving the code other there and having a startactivity() function I was able to get the bug fixed. I am thinking that the app was killing the app before returning to the app. 

    Other than that I really didn't have much to work on since I am working on my second class also. This upcoming week is going to be a semi-easy week since I am looking for a library on pop windows since we want to have an X at the top of the window. I am also working on getting the slides for post modem up and running.

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...
