Our group is still making adjustments to the app in order to get the user interface to display better on Android. We have also changed the way some user input fields function by limiting the maximum length and characters that can be used. In the future, we may make server/class selection easier by implementing a drop down menu that students can choose from. Since we already have password and PIN methods of authentication, the next two methods to implement will be QR code and pattern.
In this week's meeting, we were able to demo our app prototype. Dr. Zheng advised us to focus on communication between the server and the app. Currently, the local SimpleHTTPServer has been our testing platform for authentication; we have yet to authenticate with Nico's server. Dr. Kuo mentioned that we should also be transmitting timestamps, which will be an important part of collecting data for the user study. An idea was proposed that unique secrets would be generated server-side then displayed in the student app prior to check-in. However, in order to prevent fraudulent check-ins, we will have to wait until we have location-based functionality until we implement this.
