![]() ![]() I think it would be great to also allow the user to edit any entries they have in their book list.Do you love to read? For me, it’s one of my absolute favourite things to do. I would like to make it possible for users to search each other up and compare their lists and ratings. I'd like to add more statistics: perhaps a way for users to see how much they've read over a specified time frame. I also learned more about debugging I ran into several errors along the way but I used the debug tool in Android Studio to slowly solve any code issues. I learned about how to make my app presentable as well. I also learned a lot more about Java and Android Studio: I learned how to utilize the dropdown menu's, scrolling menus, and graphs. Learning the authentication was hard, but storing the data and doing sub collections inside documents was even harder. This is the first application I've ever created on my own that is able to function decently, so I'm proud of that. I'm also proud that I managed to learn Firebase and implement it so heavily in my project. ![]() It's a simple app, but it does everything that it is supposed to do and there are not too many bugs. I'm proud that I made an Android application that accomplishes it's job well. Working with the dropdown menu's (Spinners) was also new for me, and that posed some problems initially. ![]() ![]() I wanted to add a bar graph to symbolize average ratings per category, however it ended up taking too much time and I had to delete it. I had no idea about how to work with the graphs and adding in the pie chart values by looping the Firebase database was quite complicated. Additionally, I struggled with the statistics section. There was a video tutorial on it, but I needed to understand more than the surface level so that I would be able to edit it to fit my application. It was difficult for me to implement a scrolling screen on the book list to allow users to see an infinite number of books. Firebase was used for the authentication (logging in) and storing the book data. I used Java, Android Studio, and Firebase. Lastly, there is a small Statistics section that allows the users to see the total number of books for each collection. There are a few sorting mechanisms for users to sort their book lists and they can also delete entries. The books get saved into a collection and the user can later view it at any time, provided they log onto the same account. The users can manually enter in a book as well as any additional details such as the author or their own personal rating. What it doesīook Tracker is a simple Android application that allows the user to keep track of books that they have completed, dropped, planned to read, or read in the past. Hopefully, it will help other people be more immersed in reading books, and also for helping them remember the books that have shaped their life. It would allow me to keep track of the books that I have read and that I plan to read, which would be great for helping me stay organized. Taking these factors into consideration, I realized that creating a simple book organization app would be helpful. I also have other friends that love reading books as well, and when it comes time to recommend books to each other, we both end up forgetting a handful of books. Especially during the pandemic, I've personally found it difficult to keep track of the days and keep track of my reading schedule. Books have influenced me in many positive ways, but I frequently forget books that I have read in the past or books that I plan to read. I wanted to make an application that reflected a part of who I was, and as someone who loves reading, I knew I wanted to make an app about books. ![]()
