Friday 9th June - Week 14

By

 This week I worked on the implementation of GoogleMaps SDK. I was very excited to successfully add the map view to the homepage of my app. In the image below you can see that I have also successfully added a notification pop up to ensure the user agrees to showing their current location. However, the blue dot for current location is not showing - I think it may have something to do with the simulator but when I tried to export the app onto my mobile device it would not let me so I can't be sure. You can also see I figured out how to add markers to the map. I have been trying to connected data from WillyWeather to these markers but I am still working it out. I added the SPOTTER logo on the map and starting working on the second tab (SUN SEARCH)  but there is still a lot of work left on that page. I am struggling to display the data from the API but I think by end of next week I will have accomplished that.

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 managed to reach a few more milestones. I focused on creating e a new page of the app which allows the user to view the search results in a map view for convenience. I decided to create this page separately from the homepage map as it needed to display extra information including the search fields at the bottom of the screen alongside a "back" button to take the user back to the list of results. (still need to implement the back button) I also attempted to have the tab bar viewed to every screen but I am finding it difficult to find out why it disappears after the SunSearchViewController.

Today in class I finished the decision matrix for technology requirements. Here I used my existing knowledge from my research to create the matrix in an accurate manner. Using this knowledge, I also had more of an understanding about the system architecture for my application so I started to hand draw the diagram of the system architecture. Furthermore, as we are taking part in a practice presentation next week, I began to design the slides for my presentation, taking into consideration the concept, theme and branding of my application SPOTTER.
