#MYTRACKS APP DEPRECATED BLUETOOTH#
In the “OBD-selection”, incorrect messages are shown when any task related to Bluetooth discovery takes place (see PR and tagged issues in the PR).Some of them are due to wrong placement of toast messages and others are due to the insufficient implementation. There are several instances in which the user is shown incorrect information about the actions performed. I now have made the implementation consistent across the whole app (see PR). Previously, there were three ways in which dialogs were displayed. The consistency in design across the app had to be improved. Clicking on “User statistics” to navigate to “My tracks” (see PR).Enable navigation to other activities even if the icon colour blue states that setting is activated (see PR).Hence, I have improved the user experience by providing additional navigation options. Screen navigation: Currently, when a user clicks on a specific part of the dashboard, he expects to navigate to other specific areas of the app.I have worked on several aspects of the app as mentioned below. Goal 1 : Solving some of the critical bugs and improving the user experience Removing the deprecated use of libraries and enhancing the design of layouts.Adding new features and improving the existing features regarding the user interface and app responsiveness.Solving some of the critical bugs and improving the user experience.The three main aspects of my contribution are
#MYTRACKS APP DEPRECATED ANDROID#
This year in Google Summer of Code 2021, I have worked on various aspects that focus on improving the user experience in the enviroCar Android app. Floating car data is obtained through an OBD-II adapter to which the app connects via Bluetooth. The main goal of the enviroCar app is to collect and analyze track data to reduce the costs of running a car and to advance effective traffic planning. The enviroCar Android app is an open source, citizen science project that helps users to collect data about their tracks, including but not limited to, speed, fuel consumption and CO2 production.
