The Magic 7 Ball is similar to the Magic 8 Ball in almost every way, except it’s red.  Swipe or shake the device to have a response appear.  If you like the response, you can tweet your question and response! Magic!

We are claiming Achievements:

10 Integrated sensors (accelerometer)

15 Multiple touches / Gestures (swipe)

20 Misc: Twitter integration

Interesting Challenges:

• Figuring out how to have both a WordPress site and an additional generic PHP site on the same machine (ended up giving up and taking down the WordPress site during development)
• Registering the app so we could use Google Play services
• Parsing the JSON (originally was trying to misuse a JSON object, lists of objects work better as a JSON array…)

Insights:

• The maps seem really fun to work with, plan on writing more apps using it
• Getting Google services to work is a bit complicated, but well worth the pain; looks like there are some fun services to play with

Changes:

• Removed voice commands
• Added external DB, web services, and threading
• App stores a list of the locations you have visited
• App displays all locations you have visited on a map

Screen Shots:

Logging Location

List of all locations logged

Map of all locations logged

New locations are sent to PHP page that inserts them into the database

get_data.php queries the database and displays all records as a JSON array

JSON Array format:

[

{

“latitude” : ##.####,

“longitude” : ##.####

},

{

“latitude” : ##.####,

“longitude” : ##.####

}…

]

Claiming:
