Implementation And User Interface

Introduction:

Hello all,

This is our third blog update. We are successfully done with system design of application .Here you will find an information about applied coding conventions, different users of our application and prototyping for the application. Coding conventions:

Coding Conventions

Coding Conventions povides a set of rules for a team of developers which makes code written by others team members easy to understand and develop.

In this project we are using our own coding conventions as we have decided during the team meeting.

We have used a mix of JAVA coding conventions and some of our own conventions.

Imports

We have decided not to use wildcard imports, static or otherwise.
Naming Conventions
- Class names are mixed case with first letter of each internal word to be capitalized. Class names will be discriptive of what’s its supposed to do.
- Method names will be verbs and are mixed cases. These too will be discriptive of what the method is meant for.
- Commenting Conventions will be mix Block Commenting for class discription, Single line comments for specific things.

	    //Class with mixed cases 
            public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity

    	    //Method Naming Convention
            public void AddUser(Active active)

   
                
            //Single line comments
            Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_ACTIVE, //Table to query
            columns,    //columns to return
            null,        //columns for the WHERE clause
            null,        //The values for the WHERE clause
            null,       //group the rows
            null,       //filter by row groups
            sortOrder); //The sort order


            //Block comments
            private String DROP_USER_TABLE = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS " + TABLE_ACTIVE;
            /**
            * Constructor
            * 
            * @param context
            */
            public DatabaseHelper(Context context) {
            	  super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);
            }

This helps us in managing the code effectively, the Block commenting helps us in making descriptive comment about particular things, and single line comments for small minute details. Context of use:

Activity monitoring is simple and easy to use application. It is very helpful for students and working professionals to manage their time day by day. Here we have found two pesronas for whom this application will be more suitable.
