This week we've been working on optimizing the RPI Walk android app. The main screen of the app was pretty slow so we tried a few different things such as changing the background image size and reducing the number of functions it has to work out.
Another thing we've been working on in regards to optimization is the "end point" of the buildings. By default, the map points to the center of the building. In an app meant for walking, this is inconvenient. We are creating a database that contains the name of the buildings and the latitude and longitudes of their entrances. This is a long and tedious task which will probably take up a while to finish up.
We have also changed the original backgrounds we had to coordinate them around the background we liked the most. Now they have a theme to them.
We are also creating a settings menu to allow users to customize the app and make it their own. We are still working on what other options we want to put into the settings menu.
