hackthenorth-android's Issues

Screenshots

Here are a couple screenshots of the app so far. Those list items are loaded from a hardcoded JSON string in the app and decoded; in the future the data will be loaded from Firebase.

The list also takes a string identifier. We can use this to specify different data sources.

There's only one item in the navigation drawer right now, but it can be extended to load different pages.

I have yet to determine what the JSON data model should look like for updates. It currently has a title and a body, as you can see in the list. We might want a "from" field, in case we want to specify who the update is from --- the HTN team, a sponsor, the judges, etc. I think we will get timestamps by default from Firebase.

Firebase / timestamp

Hey everyone, I've added @moezbhatti to the test app firebase we're working with 1. LMK if you want to be added to it as well --- @sitefeng should probably want to have access to it. Can you send me your email in a reply / on facebook si te?

Kartik's made an awesome issue (see #8) about the format of the data. One thing to make sure to do is to format timestamps as ISO8601 compatible strings. @moezbhatti I'm sure you can google around to see how to generate some of these timestamps for testing---there's also definitely a way to generate them from Java Time. @sitefeng same for iOS / objc.

Guidelines changes

I made a few changes based on the design guidelines we have:

  • Actionbar and viewpager tab slider have new background colors based on the design guidelines
  • Actionbar title has the blown out title font
  • "Hack The North" -> "Hack the North"

Will post screenshots below

Avatar images in updates

I think the right way to do this would be to have an image field in each update that is one of 1) a URL to an image and 2) null which can indicate that we should use the default image.

What do you think, @sitefeng @moezbhatti?

busy week, sorry for no progress

hey guys. I've got a hugely busy week (one assignment due tmr, two wednesday, have to mark 25 assignments by wednesday, midterm on thursday). just wanted to leave a note to say that a lot of the tech that's left to implement has been on my mind, that I have a good idea of how to do notifications, and I'll get to as ASAP.

if @VicV or any other android devs we have want to do some work this week, ping me here and I'll post some of my ideas for what to do next. cheers

Getting started

Hey. Here are some of my thoughts for getting started on this project. This issue is in the Android repo but it applies to both platforms.

Design mocks

  • Do our designers have experience creating assets for mobile apps? Android in particular is a bit tricky since 3 or 4 different densities are required for each asset.
  • How are we going to manage mocks and assets?
    • I have used dropbox before to manage mocks / assets for mobile apps and it worked fairly well.
  • Once we get some ideas for how the app will be laid out / get some design mocks, we can get started building the app.

Data schema

Kartik and I talked about using Firebase as a service to host our data.

  • I've used the Java / Android Firebase API before, and it's really good --- we should use that
  • Does anybody have any concern with how well the free plan will scale if everybody at the hackathon is using our app all weekend?
    • Better idea: if we could get a sponsored unlimited plan for the purposes of the event we won't have to worry about this at all
  • Do we have any idea how the data will be laid out in Firebase?

IDE

  • I've only ever used Eclipse / ADT for developing Android apps, but if another contributor has a strong preference for Android Studio then we can go with that. :)

Scrollbar padding / margin

@moezbhatti

I think we're using margin on the list instead of padding. I think a combination of the two will help the scroll bar appear in the right place instead of too close to the cards.

(will attach a screenshot)

Figuring out the layout of each section

branched from #1 with @KartikTalwar

my thoughts:

  • Maybe we could do a Google hangouts with the designers just to get some broad strokes about how the app is going to look? If not with designers then with whoever's conception of the app is most valued at this point.
  • aside: I am lacking a scope of the contributors of this project, so I'm hesitant to make any decisions for fear of excluding other important opinions ---- who are all the contributors for this project? i.e. if it's just @KartikTalwar and me then we can move on just our opinions, but if not we should get other feedback

Notifications

branched from issue #1 with @KartikTalwar

Notifications are important and I haven't worked with them before. Does anyone have experience with them or does research need to be done?

thoughts:

  • Not sure if notifications would be coupled with Firebase at all
  • I'm not sure if we'll need some kind of simple backend server or something

New APK release feedback

  • The UI is really smooth - awesome!
  • Nice touch hexagon animations
  • I tried typing random letters on mentors search but it always returns a search result
    • How is a match being calculated?
    • can you remind me on what the search criteria is?
  • Can we have the gear logo with the htn text in the header bar (center aligned)
  • In the prizes section, can the Prizes heading be paragraphs as well (instead of bullets only)?
  • Can we see the team's contact info demo
  • wrt updates, I think the focus should be reversed. Currently the person who made the updates is bigger (font) than the message. It'll be literally just us posting messages so you'll keep seeing the first name. Can we take away all attention from the owner and make the actual post our focus.
  • Also realized that we need another sponsors section.
    • Can we add that tab and have the content be blank view
    • We can then put a url in firebase of the final sponsor montage (still confirming a few) and have it simply embed the image

Admin Repository

@KartikTalwar

We need another repo for admin tools like the script to issue updates. Not sure if it should be public or private, because there is an element of security involved in keeping the device notification IDs secret.

Sponser Page

The Sponser page is not optimized for the screen, zooming in also does not work.

Interacting with Firebase

branched from issue #1 with @KartikTalwar

  • unthrottled GET requests is pretty cool, and caching the data locally is cool
  • not sure yet how we'll tell the client when it needs to refresh
    • I'm still convinced that hacking automatic refreshing using GET requests from Firebase of all things is idiomatic :P
    • it could be simple though, like GET the data every 5 minutes and also when they pull to refresh and also whenever the view is loaded

Title page?

@moezbhatti

Implementing notifications requires that we register users' devices with registration IDs.

For now, we can just put it in MainActivity. However, I think it would be fun to have a pretty title screen because a) I know we can do a pretty title screen and b) it might be nice to have a place to do such initialization in a title screen activity.

If we have time, I think it might be fun to put descriptive initialization messages like:
"Registering your device with GCM for update notifications...OK"
"GET http://hackthenorth-app.firebaseio.com...OK"
"PUSH http://hackthenorth-app.firebaseio.com/devices/android...OK"
just because our audience might appreciate that :)
