Mobile Development Capstone Project: Class Overview 11/16/2020

 My partners and I are doing a contact tracing app that detects your temperature and records every place that you go to in order to minimize the spread of the disease.

The app starts with the following welcome message: 

There are 2 buttons that go to ReadingActivity and ThermalActivity class, respectively. 

The first thing I want to do is put the camera symbol on the bottom. The readings has a potential do delete readings through swiping or insert data (this has an error, so needs to be implemented/fixed. 

There is a scroll movement that is also activated by an intent. 

There are dummy values, but eventually I want to be able to create the date/etc. and be able to implement them in real time. 

Intents are abstract descriptions of operations to be performed. It can be used with Context to launch an activity, broadcast it to send to broadcast receiver components. It provides a facility for performing runtime binding between code. An example is moving in between classes.

The large class is called the ThermalActivity Class. What this does is that it opens a camera (surface texture, if we're talking about emulators), as well as a method to revert back to the Main Activity if absolutely necessary, close the camera and its lock, and set up the width of the camera, as well as configure matrix transforms. Looking into the report now, and the game plan for the next week, and will create my plan accordingly. 

There's also a button to export data, although this has not been completed yet. The data is being stored inside of a SQLite Database, and exported to a .csv file.

 

This is what things should ideally look like.

We can do nearby testing locations and heat map around 97-100 degrees Fahrenheit to be the "face".

 

So here's the plan for this week:

I implement the facial recognition, and the temperature measurement using this link:

Here it is.

That's it for today.
