Implementation
Client Application (Front-End)
Discover.Me was developed as a native Android application using the Android SDK. Eclipse was used as a development environment, and we made use of the emulator and 3 different Android devices for testing. Java was used as the programming language, and all the views were programmed from scratch. We made use of default Android components (EditText, TextViews, TimePicker, Button, ImageButton, etc.) in order to maintain consistency with the Android platforms design guidelines. Image assets were hand-created using GIMP and PhotoShop, and some of the icons were gathered from freely available icon packs. We made use of the Android Google APIs in order to render the map view, as well as for getting geographical and location based information. Each view seen in the application (called an Activity) is created using a mixture of declarative and programming approaches.
