Click & Fix: Final Presentation 12/08/10 James Cui Janam Jhaveri Paul Mongold
The Goal A fast and simple way to report campus issues – Picture taken of issue – Utilize GPS to automatically provide location data – User optionally gives comments – Send info through – Purdue maintenance decides what to do Examples: – Graffiti – Snow Removal – Water Drainage 2 - Potholes/Sidewalks - Trees/Grass - Etc.
Inspiration: Citizen’s Connect 3

Application: Splash Screen 8
Application: Tabs 9 Tabs allow for better UI Customized icons for visual appeal
Application: User Comments 10 Users enter: contact info (optional) indoor or outdoor problem type/description
Application: Camera 11 User takes picture of problem orientation-aware zoom controls auto-focus auto-flash saves jpeg to SD card
Application: GPS 12 For outdoor problems, find GPS and display it on map Dynamically reloads coordinates Allow users to lock/save coordinates Map gets saved to SD card For indoor problems (to be implemented) Choose building and room number
Application: Submit Form 13 Displays what information has already been saved by user Data sent to PHP script on server Hassle to directly through phone PHP script allows flexibility
Application: Submit Form 14 Script s information
Dr Jan P. Allebach, Dr Edward J. Delp, Xiang Cui, Janam Jhaveri, Paul Mongold School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana Notice a problem on Purdue’s campus? Enter contact info & problem description Take picture of problem Lock-in GPS location Submit data
Challenges 16 Paul and James: learning Java/Android – O’Reilly tutorials, Android development guide – Wiki should make process easier Combining code + learning SVN – figured out ways around SVN and Eclipse (e.g. compress project before importing, deleting bin folder, avoid merging in SVN, etc.) Smaller challenges included improving the UI, making features more advanced
Code 17 Code can be found using SVN: svn co * When checkout materials, need to type password twice * Our current project files are in the trunk folder of the checked out copy * We are running revision 34 for our project right now Code is fully commented with links to tutorials
Future: Spring 2011 (James and Janam) 18 Option to switch between outdoor/indoor on GPS tab Select building and room number Improve UI more Format and put PHP script on Purdue’s website Give presentation to Purdue Grounds Department
Future: Spring 2011 (James and Janam) 19 Publish + market application Maintain wiki
