Halfway through another week

Its been an interesting few days so far this week. Following a meeting with my supervisor on Monday, I worked on making a way for the doctor to input the questions for the patient questionnaire. Monday was spent mostly working on layouts, making things look nice etc.

Tuesday was when I came to try and make it all work. Oh dear. Pretty much the whole day was spent fighting with android, trying to find out how the google guys wanted someone to do these sorts of things. The fragment API is fairly awesome, but unless you know how it works there are so many brick walls you can inadvertently walk into it is crazy. And I’m fairly sure I managed to find most of them.

Today was much better, having finally got the hang of everything, just about. It is very satisfying going through old code (that is stuff from about a week ago) and ruthlessly culling bits everywhere. Plus nothing’s broken yet.

Overall it’s looking quite good, the framework of the app is all coming together, gradually buttons are doing things, the user experience is becoming more obvious and its slowly getting there.
