Android Dev Team #5
    Week February 30-March 5




Android dev team met up today.
Ok, so a couple of things:


Application Composition


The application currently has a screen for entering in new gestures, it has a section for pressing buttons, and a text field for a description of the gesture. We plan on making a home screen where the user can either to input new gestures or use the gesture recognition when attempting to put in existing gestures. Picture #1 illustrates the way the app looks as of now.


Sound


Sound will be done with pre-recordings of mp3's and dropping them into the resource folder of the android project . We will have pre-recordings for each digit so we will have 0.mp3 to 9.mp3. One combination of playback sounds would be to play move.mp3 then it will play 4.mp3 and 5.mp3 and then degrees_to_the_right.mp3. We will have to collaborate to see determine what the android device would need to say to paratroopers.


Gesture Representation


It has been decided to represent the gesture as a sequence of "1's" and "0's". This picture demonstrates how we have depicted the letter "E". Picture #2 illustrates this.


Persistant Gestures


We will need a form of persistant data in order to gather all of the gestures every time the application starts. For this we will use SQLite. I am currently looking at the Note Pad example Android application to fully understand how to implement this database into the touchtactics application. Picture #3 shows the creation of a database and table for the gestures, however the application will eventually be able to automate this process.
