Working in a group project is not so bad....

 By Austin Evans


    Well, that's it..... no more milestones, no more team meeting, and sadly no more blogs. This is the last one for this project and to kick it off with the norm, here is what I work on this past week. Getting ready for the post mortem. What is a post mortem? Well its a show case at the end of  the month were the teams that works on the project get to show off the 4 to 5 months worth of work. In this post mortem we make a PowerPoint about the app and how to work. It was nice to have the project finished and show it off to the other teams. When I was going to the other post mortems in the past months, I keeped thinking about how our post mortem was going to go. But atlast the day has come and we have shown the work we have done.

    I'm thankful for my teammates on helping me by giving my tips and tricks along the way in the 5 month project. I didn't really have the best knowledge in Android Studio and Java but through time of research and trying everything I was able to do the best I can in helping my team. I schedule to graduate on October 1 of this year and hopefully begin my new job where ever that may be, but first I need to take a step back and look at everything I was able to do. Before I started Full Sail I never really knew how to code and now I am walking out of the this school knowing just that. 

    If I look back what was my favorite part of the app would be the day the app went live on the Google play store. If anyone is reading this and wants to check out our app here is the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scrumoftheearth.repadvisor&hl=en_US&gl=US
or you can look it up in the Google Play Store on your phone by search for RepAdvisor. The app has a few bugs still, but no app is prefect and I not really sure if we are going to continue to work on it in the future. But knowing that I am part of a team that has an app on the Play Store. 

    Knowing that this is the final blog and looking back the other blogs I have done gets me a little sad and proud. I just want to say thank you for anyone and everyone who has read my blogs from the beginning or even join later. 


    Thank you!

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...
