AnYoPe Jul 28th 2015 - Android Scheduler App in C#. Andy's Task for Jul 28th-

AndroidSchedulerApp (ASA) is an android app that reminds users their tasks, it will send periodic reminders based on the user's preference. The app will be created using xamarin and C#.

Scenario 1: Andy has a weekly list of events including playing sports, volunteering, and keeping up with the Kardarshians. To help him keep track of all these tasks, he inputs them into the ASA. and the ASA notifies him periodically through push notifications on his Android device.

Main Page: Contains a list box of current tasks. with two buttons that navigates to either "Add Task" or "Setting" respectively.

Add Task: Allows users to add new tasks, contains all the relevant inputs required. At the time of writing, the inputs include Task Name, Task Notes, Reminder Begin Date, Reminder End Date, Ringtone Name, Frequency, Frequency Unit

Setting: Contains all the settings related to the user preference. Default Notification Sound, Background Colour, Font Picker, Font Colour, Font Size

local storage only, no users accounts. android only-> SDK 2.3 this version covers 90% of user base. compatible with since 2013 apps. http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/about/dashboards/index.html Depending on OS version, either create a system wide configuration or per profile configuration

Some classes to consider: Reminder container Topic to be reminded of Location Time

Code Architecture:

Phrase manager -> used to phrase the notification so users get a customized message. ie from “read xxx book” to “hey!, don’t forget to -read xxx book’”. Add phrase (will require some form of noun and verb placement) Remove phrase Phrase at

Task Class -> includes the following property: id - primary key this will be given to the Scheduler instead.
Name -> main subject line ie: “Read books by x author” Notes -> more detail ie: “Book held at library” Done -> a boolean whether the task is completed or not. Details of notification-> “reminder end date” and “frequency of reminder before the end date.” , choose unit of frequency (hrs, days, weeks) with location tracking or not (i think its call GeoFencing in OSX) etc. ringtone track starting time. (ie begin, next week, next day, etc.) The scheduler uses the task’s details of notification and make the notification.

Scheduler Generates notifications Could potentially group simultaneous notifications Interacts with the Phrase Manager Look up libraries which could generate sentences based on given input Stores tasks Add tasks Remove tasks TaskAt Get current time

App Configuration Default notification sound Show completed tasks Max number of tasks to show per page Themes? Font Colour Size Background colour Read Write

Core class Is a singleton with a getter to be used by thing such as the UI Has a scheduler Has a phrase manager Contains an app configuration instance

To Do list for -> York-> notifications and integrate with timed reminders

UI side Notification Class -> properties: Intent (stub action after user taps notification) PendingIntent (action to take after user taps notification) BigTextStyles (use full text when notification expanded) BigPictureStyles (use large images when notification expanded) InboxStyle (whether multiple notifications stack) Priority (for when to best notify user) Visibility (for lockscreen notifications) Category (type of notification used in system settings)

-> methods:: init() buildNotification() buildCompatNotification() -sound (bool) -vibration (bool) -contentIntent(Intent) getNotificationManager() publishNotification() updateNotification()

Convention for writing code: use hungarian notation. Design

Backend Peter - System which takes in user defined “interest” and interfaces with the notification system
