1. Scheduled Silence Application Midterm Presentation David Koritsanszky and Frederick Evans

2. Overview  Design  Related Work  Challenges  Becoming familiar with IDE  Learning Android programming  Where we are now  What’s ahead

3. Design  Application has an activity and a background service  Activity is used for settings  Background service  Runs query on Calendar data on set intervals  This is to avoid missing newly created events between events  When event is active  Turns ringer off  Sets alarm  After alarm, reruns service and turns back ringer on

4. Related Work  Android 5.0  new feature for ringer scheduling  Priority override for certain contacts  IOS and Cyanogenmod have similar implementations as well.  Our application is different  Less user interaction with the application  Makes use of Google Calendar

5. Challenges  Lack of programming experience in Java  Lack of programming experience with a GUI  Learning how different functions work  Implementing them for our own use

6. Choice of IDE  Started with Eclipse since it was packaged with Android SDK  Had difficulties importing client libraries for use  Documentation was scarce on new Calendar API  Switched to Android Studio  Easier implementation of libraries  More documentation  Will be more applicable for android programming in the future

7. Knowledge gained from IDE interaction  Defining libraries in Manifest  Building with Gradle  Activity XML file and GUI

8. Learning Java and Android programming  Spent most of time learning how different functions work compared to actually coding  Have not had to research into Java as all written code so far has been implemented very similarly compared to C

9. Where we are now  Manipulation of the Ringer Setting (completed)  Learning how to get data from API (almost done)  Implementation of a background service (still needs work)

10. What’s Ahead  Finish basic functionalities for Application  Optimize them for better management  Set calendar settings  Add other features  GPS feature  Sensor feature  Contact priorities
