Team Meetings & Status updates

We will be meeting on every Tuesday & Thursday (i.e, before 10 minutes of our class) to discuss regarding the status of our work.

3-oct-2013 : Discussed regarding status updates. Completed calendar application & swipe application. Need some more research to complete the application that has action bar with search option.

8-Oct-2013 : Discussed regarding status updates. Sravan completed calendar application logic to retrieve existing calendars from the device and to retrieve the events that are stored in the selected (by user) calendar. Fie analyzed existing Cinequest code for implementing swipe application in it, lot of changes are involved (i.e.,Fragment logic needs to be placed in many activities). Tanuvir completed setting up facebook in his emulator, but he is facing some memory issues in VM, he is looking into it. Rohit completed action bar and also implemented code for "search". Search operation is not fully completed, as search operation is little complex, require some more time to complete the search operation.

Note:- For implementing action bar we have set the target API level as 18 for the application, but the code runs fine in android 2.2 emulator.

22-Oct-2013 : Fie informed me that he cannot come to the class and he has to drop it. He already implemented the feature that adding a action bar and a fragment with a listview, and can run on Android 2.2 as well. He informed us that he will be sending us the code. I completed adding code to earlier sample application, to create local calendar in the device. Rohit will continue to work on Search operation. Tanuvir is working on a sample application that implements Facebook element(like LIKE/POST) functionality.

07-Nov-2013 : Completely merged calendar code to main source. Added logic to parse the new XML feed and working on search bar & fragment activity. Tanuvir worked on from where Fei left on the swipe feature. The code needs to be merged into the common repository.

14-Nov-2013 : Completely merged facebook code to main source. Included action bar and search button to the app. Modified FestivalParser.java to incorporate the new logic to identify the associated Short Films for a ProgramItem. Modified DateUtils.java to handle the new Date Format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm.

_Issues:- _

1. While including the search logic, we found that we need to use custom adapter that implements Filterable. Currently in cinequest code, SeparatedListAdapter is casting to ListAdapter. We may need to customize ListAdapter to implement Filterable interface.
2. For implementing swipe functionality the tabs should be fragments. In our cinequest code, tabs are activities instead of fragments and these classes extends other classes like CinequestActivity & CinequestTabActivity.
3. After including Action bar and modifying the target as Android 4.0, icons are not getting displayed for tabs. TabActivity is depreciated, so may be this is the reason for this issue. So, decided to revert the code changes to remove action bar from app.

19-Nov-2013 : Completed the code to open the maps for venue location when user clicks on the directions button. Made changes to the facebook code inorder to incorporate html links coming from the new feed both for films and events. Completed parsing the list of Venues from the VenueList XML feed and included the logic to use the ShortName for a Venue from the list created from new venue feed, when adding the Venues to a Schedule.
