The application is now loading all the data from the database server upon startup. An animation has been added to the landing page to let the user know the app is functioning during this process. Once the process completes, the landing page will disappear and the application will redirect the user to the login screen as usual. Inside the new work order report, dropdown menus will now display the data retrieved from the database server instead of using dummy data. A dialog box is implemented and will show up after the user has finished taking a picture, indicating to the user that the image is being processed. This prevents premature submission while asynctask is running the background during image processing. Submitting a new work report will now write entries into the database tables, and images are uploaded to the storage server. Additionally a titlebar with logo has been added to give the app a cosistent look and feel across activities.
Camera now functions without crashing app. Up to three images per problem are displayed and uploaded to database so database integration is coming along well. Login screen is being changed and animation/updates are being added to landing page. List work orders and mark completed will be merged into list or mark completed.Since non-employees may be using the app to report problems, separate fields to track who is an employee and will be able to mark problems as completed are added to the database.
Quy has our Github site set up. Thanks to Jonathan we have a start on the app coded and up on github. John added a camera view that will need substantial work to get fixed as it occasionally crashes the app. Kevin did some testing and showed that the repo is working correctly. The website has been rewritten to utilize boostrap.js, CSS and other javascript libraries including jQuery.
