Friday 30th June - Week 17

By

 This was a very successful week for my app! I have finally figured out how to print out the data retrieved from the WillyWeather API. This is a major milestone as I can now focus on the UI views and showing the data through the screens.  After a lot of trial and error, I realised that the reason I was unable to retrieve the data was because I was not copying the structs correctly from the API Reference manual. Once I understood the correct format of the structs, the data started to print. Here is the output: 



My next step is to print the data onto the UI Views. Once I have printed all of the SUN data, I will start to work on the other tab SWELL which will be a lot easier and quicker as I have now figured out the necessary steps.

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.
