Create a Login Activity in Android which connects to Amizone and extracts information

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE WEEK

Created a successful Login Page with an SQLite database which

stores

username and password so that user does not need to renter his login details every time. Designed a successful HTML Parser which pulls out Course Name, Code, Attended classes and Conducted Classes. It also pulls out the Name of the student and the Date during the moment of extraction.

FUTURE WORK PLANS

Create SQLite Database to hold all the course information Find a way to display the list of courses with its details in a list-like manner.

DAY

SUMMARY

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

Went through https connection libraries. Amizone being a https site requires more effort than a normal HTTP Post. Continued Research on the same. Used Trust Manager and SSL Socket Factory classes to create a connection. Repeated Trials lead to success. Successful in connecting and logging into Amizone. Started building my own HTML Parser. HTML Parser completed using String Functions. Started with SQLite databases to store username and password. Continued research on SQLite in Android.

DAY

SUMMARY

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

Revised existing code making it more reusable. I also grouped my many classes into their respective packages (Tools, Net, SQL) Started building a progress bar for the login. Many bugs. Completed progress bar. Changed from concept of threads and handlers to more preferred and easy Async Task. Started building customized ListViews. Faced problems syncing the Listviews with the stored data. Finally completed ListViews and the binding with database items. Improved design and added menu options for improved navigation.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE WEEK

the user wishes to stop the sync early.

Redesigned the progress bar by providing more information and a cancel button incase

Individual Course page has been created which provides attendance details, faculty details and the most recent attendance marked. Implemented one of my algorithms which calculate how many classes one must attend or can afford to miss to maintain his desired percentage.

FUTURE WORK PLANS

To create the END OF DAYS, which is the title of the activity I plan to make. It queries out the attendance logs to show you the days marked attendance in one page ordered according to the timetable.

DAY

SUMMARY

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Improved progress bar which provides state information and a cancel button to remove errors by overloading sync threads. Started building individual course page. Introduced parsing of the Faculty page in the Sync function. Create a schema in which the offline and online tables of faculty information are separate and connected by one more table holding on key values of both.

Friday Saturday Sunday

Created provisions in the EditText fields to allow manual changing to teachers information and having it save automatically. Implemented my own attendance algorithm to check number of classes one must attend or can afford to miss. Finished the page and improved design.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE WEEK

Created a parsing mechanism for each courses attendance logs.

Stored them in a table with the columns, Course Name, Date, Period, Present, Absent. Added various functions in the storage side package to retrieve the attendance log so that it is specific and sorted according to the user-specified date. Added a Splash Screen.

FUTURE WORK PLANS

Create the holiday planner which groups up government and college holidays so that hostlers can more easily plan to return home. Also waiting for the Timetable of Amizone to be filled.

DAY

SUMMARY

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

Decided to work with attendance logs as well. Started creating parsing function for that. Faced problems with parsing. More difficult than the other ones. Finally completed parsing of all courses attendance. Created an table in database for the logs and functions to retrieve, store and sort it. Had to change the whole sync after realizing a flaw in my system. Now, all pages are synced together, NOT individually. Started learning about date and calendar functions. Successfully finished End of Days and created animations for each page activity to improve user-interface. Also, added splash screen.
