You have been hired as the newest member of the mobile application development team for the Mobile

$2$

App Company. Every week, your team meets to discuss and assign the latest client projects. There are three available projects that you and the rest of the team feel would be a good fit for your expertise. You may select which application you would like to work on

$.$

$$Your options are an inventory app, an event

$-$

$$tracking app, and a weight

$-$

$$tracking app.

My selected option: Weight

$-$

Tracking App

This application will be used to track the daily weight of the user. This application must include the following features:

A database with at least three tables: one to store the daily weight, one to store user logins and passwords, and one to store the goal weight

Note that goal weight will be constant but setting a one

$-$

time weight that is stored in a database will be the simplest way for you to accomplish this task.

A screen for logging into the app

Note that the screen for logging into the app should also be used to create a login if the user has never logged in before.

A screen with a grid that displays all the daily weights and the days they were entered

A mechanism by which the user can add a daily weight

A mechanism by which the user can add a goal weight

A mechanism by which the application will notify the user when they reach their goal weight

In the Project One Milestone, you selected an app to develop and completed some preliminary research. Now, you will build on the base you already have and investigate how the app will need to look and function to serve its users best. All the information you analyze and the decisions you make in this project must be gathered into an app development proposal.

Directions

All three projects will use the same scenario you began work on during Project One Milestone. Consider the client

$$

s needs and review any instructor feedback you may have received from your milestone work. By constructing your app development proposal, you will prepare yourself for success in both Project Two and Project Three.

For this project, you will create an app development proposal by demonstrating your knowledge of the following criteria:

Articulate the goals of the project.

Describe the application you have chosen, its major components, and what functionality will be necessary based on the scenario.

Describe the users of the application and the assumptions being made regarding their needs and preferences.

As you think about potential users, consider the following questions to guide your response:

How many different types of users can you identify?

What different goals might individual users have?

What will users need to achieve their goals in this app?

Discuss the screens and features that will be necessary to produce a user

$-$

centered UI design for the app.

Include a high

$-$

level description of every necessary screen and feature that will be in your app.

Explain how a user might move from one screen to another.

You may choose to support your ideas with a simple diagram or illustrations to better represent the different components.

Justify your decisions by referencing the Android Design and Quality Guidelines linked in the Supporting Materials section.

Discuss how the functional app requirements will be represented in the code design and connected to the UI

$.$

$$

Explain the calls that show the flow of data between code and screens.

List the major UI components on each screen.

Determine what data each component will either display or accept as input and where the data might come from.
