The Prototype

Requirements

• A first draft on the layout/desgin of the app
  • Screen shots at the bottom of this page
• Basic user setup step (getting the required user information)
  • Age/date of birth (input)
  • Gender (input)
  • BMI (calculated field)
  • Height (input, in meter)
  • Weight (input, in kg)
  • More fields will be added to the beta-version of the app for user-testing
• Login with social media (Single-sign-on, OAuth2 and social logins)
  • Google
  • Facebook
  • Single sign-on
• Connecting the app to climate information
  • Deutsche Wetterdienst Open Data
  • Open Weather Map
  • Asynchronous tasks in Android
• User-specific model calculations based on user input

To start out, the app will be developed in Java. As we get to the final version, the app should be available for both Android and iOS devices. In order to make it easy to work with both platforms, the recommended Kotlin, will be used as the bridge for conversion between Android and iOS.

Short description of work

I have now implemented the connection and retrieval of weather data from Open Weather Map. The app is using dummy coordinates (hard coded values) until the coordinates of the phones is implemented.

I have created login for different social media accounts and the layout for the user to input his/her own characteristics such as age, gender, weight, fitness level etc. These will get icons to match their description and each of the settings will be clickable such that the user can set the different values. Some of them will have a default value (at least in the different models, if nothing is set).

One of my focus areas right now is the dashboard, where the most important information for the user will be displayed.

The layout is definitely open for discussion, please write me if you have some good ideas or improvements.
