Blog Entry #19
April 10, 2016
Since I am ahead of the schedule I created for myself, I decided that today I would focus more on cleaning up some of the app visuals and making things look a lot better. I changed the color scheme, moved around and changed the formating of some of the text, and I got the style and format of the results list set up. However, there is a problem with it the list view in that the first result displays properly, but the rest of the results do not. I have been working on getting this error corrected, and once I do I will move on to accomplishing the next part: Getting a list entry selection to open up the project site url.
Another thing I have done is more research on all of the other parts of the project I will be working on. Specifically, I looked into displaying an external web page, creating a bookmark button, and permanently adding bookmarks to the side menu tab. What I determined was that I would send the main URL and name of the project on to an external page viewer activity. From there, I would have a fab icon in the bottom right corner of the screen that the user can select in order to bookmark the page. With the name of the project and the url already available, I can easily add the bookmark to the side bar.
