Challenges

16

• Paul and James: learning Java/Android– O’Reilly tutorials, Android development guide– Wiki should make process easier

• Combining code + learning SVN– figured out ways around SVN and Eclipse (e.g.

compress project before importing, deleting bin folder, avoid merging in SVN, etc.)

• Smaller challenges included improving the UI, making features more advanced

Code

17

• Code can be found using SVN:svn co svn+ssh://vipfor@web/groups/vipfor/public_html/fall2010/ClickFix/svn

* When checkout materials, need to type password twice* Our current project files are in the trunk folder of the checked out copy* We are running revision 34 for our project right now

• Code is fully commented with links to tutorials

Future: Spring 2011 (James and Janam)

18

• Option to switch between outdoor/indoor on GPS tab

• Select building and room number• Improve UI more• Format email and put PHP script on Purdue’s

website• Give presentation to Purdue Grounds

Future: Spring 2011 (James and Janam)
