Project Writeup

Your project writeup should be a few pages of PDF file, turned in via canvas. You also need to hand in a hard copy when you demo your project. Your hard copy version must have a staple to secure the multiple pages of your writeup together. If you fail to staple the pages of your report together, you are in danger of failing the course.

Make sure your report specifies the following items, but bear in mind that the report is just your chance to convince me that you did a good job. Include what you think is necessary to convince me of that fact. I love hearing about debugging war stories. I'm serious, it is a problem for me.

Report your team members
Report the title of your app and a one or two line description. It is very important that the people who did the project, the title of the app and its description are clearly visible at the top of the first page of your report.
Include a screenshot of your app, hopefully one that illustrates key functionality.
List the APIs your app uses, for example Google maps. Also let me know if you use certain Android features extensively like animation or you have custom controllers (navigation drawer, action bar, etc.).
List all third party libraries you use, and what they do for your app (each in their own paragraph). Describe briefly what was good and/or challenging about using them.
List all third party services you use, and what they do for your app (each in their own paragraph). Describe briefly what was good and/or challenging about using them.
Discuss anything noteworthy about your UI/UX/display code.
Discuss anything noteworthy about your back end or processing logic.
Discuss the most important or interesting thing you learned doing your project.
Discuss the most difficult challenge you overcame and/or your most interesting debugging story.
If necessary, briefly tell us how to build and run your project. Include details about how to set back end services (if you use them). In the common case, we will rely on your demo, but just in case we have an issue, we'd like some tips.
In github, we have created a group assignment called final. When you click the link, it will bring you to a page that creates a new team or you can join an existing team. If there are two people in a project team, only one person should create the team. The other person should join the team created by your teammate. Make sure you select the correct team. Submit your final code to this new project. (But generate your code frequency graph (explained below) from your original repository.
If you use firebase, include a printout (or screenshot) of your database schema. The schema is basically the structure and the type information. So print out the keys and values and the types for any important data you have in the database. Here is a simple example.
Report the count of lines of code in your project. Use cloc (http://cloc.sourceforge.net/) to count the lines. Run this command on your code.
```
cloc -by-file-by-lang app/src/main/
```
Report the total Java and total XML lines that you wrote. Do not include boilerplate lines, external libraries, or other sources in the total of lines on which you claim authorship. Indicate how you calculate how many lines you authored if you report line totals. Maybe use a table. You can break down the lines into modules if you think that helps, but I'm most interested in the totals of code you wrote.
We want you to include the code frequency graph that github gives you for your repository. Open your project's github page in a web browser. Click the "Insights" tab. Then click the "Code frequency" tab on the menu bar on the left. You will see the "Code frequency" graph. Put a screen shot of your code frequency figure into your writeup. Here is an example figure for reference.
