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 users. The ultimate goal is to get students on campus to use the app, so it needs function and form to accomplish that end!

Next Tuesday we demo our individual projects, and after that our attention will turn entirely to the team project. We are all excited to see what we can continue to create in these next few weeks!

Week 9 OSL App Progress

Android App This week we added small details to our android app including the ability to change the background color theme as well as allowing the user to search for events in the find events page. For themes we now have a dark, twilight purple, sea blue, and standard theme that the user can choose between in the settings page. In the find events page we added a search option in the top action bar so that the user can search for events by title, organization, tags or location to make it easier for the user to find the events they want to attend. Finally we also implemented the rest of the QR scanner so that it opens a link to the web app and then allows the user to sign in to the event. Web-App For the web app we now have implemented a past events tab where events passed the current date and time are added via Firebase cloud functions through http requests every 1 hour. Furthermore we have added a sign in feature to the web app so that people who scan their QR ...

Week 5

So far our android app has the basic features of adding events and allowing the user to add them to the calendar with a reminder. Currently, we are working on the extra features for the events page, such as letting the user sort them by titles, (A-Z) or the most recent events coming up and then tags, which will be the group or host for certain events (Such as the OSL). The tab is coded displaying these, but so far clicking them does not do anything. We hope to have this done sometime by week 6 or 7. In addition, we have a basic tree structure done for our Web-App database. This is where our database will contain events coming up, past events, allow events to only be for certain groups, and the tag feature for who is hosting the event.
