Week 8 Progress


Web-App 

Currently, our web app format has changed and it is now easier for users to add images and descriptions when creating their events. Our tabs also as a drop down column that will allow the events to be more descriptive such as if its a comedy event, will have food, etc. We still need to create a button to generate unique QR codes for the events for students to scan.  

When the user adds events, it automatically adds the event and its information into a current events tab on Firebase. Currently, anyone can add events using this website, so we are planning on having a sign in where only certain people (most likely the OSL) can create events, or possibly accept or deny events being created by other groups or students.

Additionally, we have a past events tab, although it is not hooked up to the app yet. The information from past events the OSL was interested in knowing was the amount in attendance, as well as how many from each year attended. We also need to figure out how download this into a spreadsheet so it will be easier for users to read and search through. 

Android  App
Our android app now notifies the user when an event was already added to their calendar, so it notifies the user before creating two duplicate events in their calendar. In addition, our sorting tab now works, and can sort through events using the following options by either A-Z or Z-A, soonest events coming up, or by organization. We are now trying to figure out an easier way for students to sort through or hide events when there are many events on the app that may be overwhelming for students to look through.

Week 6 OSL App Development

Work on the app development has slowed down this week as we all have our individual projects due soon. We expect development on the OSL App to swing back into full production next week. However, we have made some progress this week to talk about! We have the skeleton structure of what our Web App will look like. In our meeting with students from the OSL, something they asked for was a simple, streamlined app. One that can add events and do it quickly. We have kept that in mind during development and want to provide the easiest user experience. As we progress further, that will be at the forefront of our development decision making. On the Android Application, instead of storing pictures in our local files, we now storing pictures in firebase and then sending that information to the app. It's an important step in the appearance of the app, as the OSL students that use the web application will be able to choose their own picture when making an event and display it to the end...
