GSoC'13 OpenTripPlanner-for-Android Weekly Report #8

[Vreixo González]

Hi all,

What did I do this week?

I have been all the week making improvements to the UI and correcting bugs, because we have decided to make a release really soon to the market: changed route display, added boundaries control , changed some dialogs, incorrect camera movements, corrected some aspects related to saving app state and restoring, geocoding had some problems too,...

One important point is that I have solved a big issue related to the serialization of OTP server response that were binded to OTP classes that were not serializable. For this I have create one branch for the opentripplanner-pojos project that OTP android client uses:

https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/opentripplanner-pojos/tree/GSoC2013

Another good step forward was that now API key for publish to the market the updated app is working.

What will I be working on next week?

- Make the final tweaks to the app and release this update to the market and wait for users comments and reports about bugs that they may experience.

- Document the application. Create documentation in the wiki about how app work's internally to make it easier to understand and to contribute and probably revise and extend code documentation and commentaries.

- If it's possible, continue with more new development of the app, with UI redesign, new features and error messages more clear and concrete.

Did I meet with any stumbling blocks?

- The part of the serialization of Java objects was a bit challenging.

Kind regards,
