Week 9 - Unsolved Icon's Swapping Bug

Two weeks had passed, but my team still cannot fix the bug existed in our application. On this week, I tried to find any solution from the internet. However, I did not even find anything useful which at least reduce the impact of this bug. Since it took quite a long time to fix this bug, my team decided to ask about this error to Stack Overflow. Still, there is no clear solution to get rid from this bug until now.

Week 8 - Icon's Swapping Bug! (and Cycle Report 3)

On this week's project progress, my team member named Chandra had modified the application of our project as his contribution on our team. He told us that he had successfully implemented swapping feature to swap icons in a panel. However, he encountered a bug, in which the icon often disappeared when it is swapped to another icon. Since this became a major problem for our project, all of our team members were looking for a solution. Unfortunately, we did not even find any clue to fix this issue!

Although we had this kind of bug in our project, we still have to make the next cycle report to be submitted on the Friday of this week. In this part, I listed all information about delete feature which had been created on the previous week in this document. Finally, we successfully delivered the report before the deadline which was announced on the midnight of this week's Friday.

Week 7 - Delete Feature and GridView Layout

After we had successfully integrate the icons to the application as statements for condition panel and action panel, my team told me to work on delete feature to remove an icon when it had been placed on either condition panel or action panel. During this discussion, we decided to make the delete feature looks similar like Facebook Version 6.0 for iPhone. Therefore, the icon can be removed by dragging it to the delete area at the bottom of the screen.

From this idea, my team member, Hendry, helped me in making this feature by giving me Nicolas Desjardins's Project from the internet that is really useful for me. I took some knowledge from his project and ended up in having a small gray rectangle at the bottom of the screen with trash icon and "Delete" text in it with a little transparency which basically looks like this:

When I had completed this feature, I realized that our project's condition panel and action panel are using Linear Layout which only enables multiple statements in one row. Therefore, I changed their layouts into Grid-View Layout.

Week 6 - Statement's Icon

For this week's project progress, I had finally completed the icons which are used to represent statements in condition and action. Therefore, I told Hendry, one of my team member, about the completion of the images since he was working on the project's application. However. he told me that the application needs various sizes for each image in order to prevent bad graphics on several Android devices.

The size of the icon is called density by the application. Thus, I had to make at least 3 different densities for each image. Soon after, I made various sizes for each image such as 16x16 pixels for mdpi(medium-density screen) devices, and 24x24 pixels for hdpi(high-density screen) devices. After I gave my images to Hendry's application, we can finally put these icons to the application which can also be dragged to the condition and rule panel as seen as below:

Week 5 - Statement's Image and Presentation

Several days ago from this week's class, my team had a meeting to discuss about our presentation. As a result, we proceed to divide this assignment to 3 tasks which are given to each member. For my contribution, I added several images and animations in every slides to make it attractive for the audience. Satisfactorily, we finished this presentation slides and had a good reaction from our lecturer and audiences on what we had done at the time we did the presentation.

On Friday, we also did a meeting as usual to continue the project's progress. In this session, I did the design of icons which are used to be statements in condition and action. However, the icons were not completed yet due to difficulty in finding and making the image of the statement. Below is the screenshot of the icons created on this week:

Week 4 - New Requirement(?) and Cycle Report 2

On this week's class, we were instructed to make the next cycle report for our project. On the same day, we submitted the required cycle report with the help of low-fidelity prototype which had been done on the previous week.

On Friday's meeting with my group members, we went to research lab to approach our client, Dr. Insu Song, to discuss about the project. From this occasion, he told us to change the concept of creating the custom behavior. Rather than choosing statement in the condition panel and rule panel, he requested to make them as icons, in which these items can be dragged.
