- One key part of health is building finger strength and endurance. On the main page, display a number and a button. The number should increase when the button is clicked.
- Still on the main page, add a stopwatch. Have a button to [Start/Pause] and [Reset] the clock. The start/pause button should toggle between saying “start” and “pause.” And you should only be able to reset when the stopwatch is paused.
- At the top of our main page, we want to inspire our users with images of the type of person they can become. Display an image with a caption below it. (The caption should NOT be part of the image; it should be text.) Allow users to cycle through images and read the captions. Pressing next should go to the next image and its caption, pressing prev should go back. The app should display a (1/N), (2/N) … indicator so users know how many items are in the list
- Move your Finger Exercises and Stopwatch into their own pages of your app. Add buttons on the homepage to link to those pages, and ensure that the user can use the back button on the device to return to the app homepage.
- Create a new activity for Notifications. Allow users to set up reminders to drink water, which should appear every 2 hours in the notification bar. (For testing, you might want to shorten this to 15 or 30 seconds.)
- Set up a database to contain Exercise data. Each Exercise should have a title, quantity, and description, as well as a timestamp. For testing, add a single Exercise to the database.
- Add a new Activity to hold the Exercise Diary. In that view, display all entries from the Exercise database in a ListView. (At this point, that should show a single row.) Make sure that Exercise looks reasonable.
- At the top of the Exercise Diary activity, add a form that allows a user to enter data about an exercise. When they hit submit, the information about that exercise should be stored in the database and displayed in the ListView. You can choose how the timestamp works: either let the user enter when they completed the exercise, or use the time when they hit submit on the form.
Lab 29: Testing, Espresso and Permissions
- Add Espresso tests for all of the Activities we’ve built so far. In particular, the Finger Exercises would benefit from testing, as would the image carousel.
- Add the ability for users to enter a profile picture. Give them the option of taking a new photo with the camera, or using images already on their phone. Your app will need to request the appropriate permissions for this. Once users take a profile picture, you should display it on the homescreen.
Lab 33: Threading, Async, Web
- Add a replica of your Exercise model to the backend Spring app. Create a POST route that allows creating a new Exercise, and a GET route that responds with all Exercises currently in the database. Test these routes with Postman, deploy, and ensure there’s at least one Exercise in your deployed db.
- When a user opens the Exercise Diary page, the app should make a request to the server to retrieve all the Exercises in the server’s database. It should display both those Exercises and the ones that are local to the device within the Diary page.
- When a user creates a new Exercise locally on their device, in addition to saving it to the local database, the app should POST it to the server.
- Remove all hardcoded strings from your UI, and instead use the strings.xml file.
- When a user adds an exercise, they should be able to include their current location. Update your models appropriately, and display the location within the ListView.
- Ensure that the user’s username is correctly displayed throughout the app. Also, modify the homepage to include some key stats, such as the current finger exercise count and the total number of times the user has visited the homepage.
