Group Meeting Minutes October 15, 2013 - mgrah043/sequence_database_barcode_scanner GitHub Wiki

  • Fields on the lookup Activity must be generated dynamically based on the data retrieved from the webservice.
  • Discussed alternative to the login screen. The current login screen is not necessarily clear enough for the user since it looks like the user must enter their username/password even if they want to scan their barcode. Also, it is not clear that the image is a button.
  • One alternative is to have just two buttons on the login screen; one that takes the user to the scanner screen and another that takes the user to a manual login screen.
  • Changes : 1.The top level activity for the app has been changed (we now have two buttons; one for Login with the scanner and the second one for the manual Login), the reason being is that it seemed confusing to the user as to which options were offered for login. Since they should almost always use the barcode to login, they are more likely to use the scanning option than the two step login. 2.The top part of the login page was removed.
  • Improvements : 1.Change the background 2.Top activity : buttons bigger, title of the app and possibly a logo 3.Perhaps make the login textfield "prettier" 4.App's header needs some tweaking (colors), title of the app in the center or name of the current page 5.Change the texts font to look more like our design (see Uses cases images)
