Friday 15th June - Week 15

By

 This week I spent hours on trying to connect the WillyWeather API and kept failing and getting very confused. So I decided to have a break from that and focus on something else. In the search sun view controller I managed to fix the drop down button and display the options the user can choose from. The issue was that I hadn't connected the Touch Up Inside event to the button clicking function/method.  


I also managed to display the selected date and area in the output which will help me later when I filter through the API with the users selected preference. That will be next weeks job. 

Additionally, I played around with the design and layout a little more, even though I know this part isn't necessary until the end, it was nice to see the design come together bit by bit.

This week, my main focus was to organise and refine my screens to make sure there was a smooth transition between them. To enhance user experience, I brought in a navigation controller to the settings section, which provides a convenient back button for each subview. In fine detail, I scanned over all of the contraints within each UI view controller to ensure there were no significant issues.  It was during this week that I came to the realisation that I may not have enough time to implement to FIND SWELL feature. This feature is the exact same to the FIND SUN feature but instead of sun, we are searching for good waves. As a result of time management, I decided to remove the prepared view controllers and code that I had set up for starting this section.

 This week I have hit a few more milestones within my code. I managed to display the locations on the homepage map. I also managed to change the default marker icon to my branded markers. Please see below: This was a challenge as I could not figure out why the api url wasn't valid to display all of these locations. After a lot of debugging, I came to the realisation that the api url had the (userSelectedDate) property which was not necessary/connected to the home page. I created a seperate api url for the homepage and after doing so, the code was successful. I also spent some time fixing the constraints of each controller.  My next step is to display the data on the homepage when a user clicks on a marker. I am in the middle of the code and at the moment the code is not successful. Once this is done, I will have the most important elements of the app complete.
