Final Project Reflection

Final Project Reflection Post: Isley Tomlinson Android Innovation Lab 7 June 2022 1) What did you learn that most positively affected your progress in creating your software? In my process of learning how to make a Spotify clone, I learned many things. The thing that most positively affected my progress was when my tutor re-taught me HTML/CSS. I haven't done that sort of coding since Freshman year, so I had completely forgotten it. It helped me with many things like making the search engine, designing how the project look and putting everything into place. 2)  If you could take a time machine and go back to the beginning of the year, what one thing would you tell yourself to do (or not to do) to help group make progress on this project? I would tell myself to learn JavaScript sooner. Oliver learned JavaScript and I re-learned HTML/CSS. By the end, the Spotify CSS and HTML got done early, so I didn't have anything to do and Oliver knew how to create more things. I tried to learn...

  Development Blog Post 4/29 Isley Tomlinson  April 29, 2022 Android Innovation Period 8 In the few weeks i've mainly been working on the search engine part of our code. First I watched a video on how to make it leave like a search bar. After I was done with that I designed it in intelliJ using HTML and CSS and made the background a gradient purple. Trello Link: https://trello.com/c/CxeuZv3U/34-make-search-engine-on-spotify-in-html-css After I was done with the design I merged my code with Olivers and put it into visual studio code.  After that I watched videos on how to use spotify API to make the search engine work.

  Development Blog Post 3/29 Isley Tomlinson  March 29, 2022 Android Innovation Period 8 Tasks Completed: In the last month I've added 20 new buttons to the side bar. Three were the Home button, Search button and Library button. The other 17 were the albums that I recently listened to. Trello Link: https://trello.com/c/UWnsuU3L/28-finish-home-library-and-search-button and https://trello.com/c/UYYmdZb6/29-add-some-music-shuffles-to-side My Sidebar design: Real Spotify Sidebar Design: Weeks to come:  For the weeks up my tasks will include trying to add my spotify HTML coding to my partners music coding. If we can work together on our codes aligning our project will be pretty much finished. He has the code for having the music actually play and i have the coding for how it would actually look.

Development Blog Post 2/17 Isley Tomlinson  February 17, 2022 Android Innovation Period 8 Tasks Completed: Since the last post I ended up completing putting in my pause/play button in that I've been trying to get to work for the past month or so. Usually it wouldn't take this long but since I put it in as an image and not a button it made it a lot harder to center it for some reason. I centered it by putting in " justify-content: center;" and then for some reason it was a little too close to my minute bar, so I put in "margin-left: auto;", " "margin-right: auto;" and, "margin-bottom: 50px; into CSS and it ended up working. Trello Link: https://trello.com/c/eDpR1BH1/21-center-the-play-button Weeks to come: For the weeks up until March Fourth my tasks will include trying to put in the skip and replay button into my code. I'd like my buttons to look something like this. Maybe not the same colors but the same gist.  Trello link: https://...

  Development Blog Post 11/19 Last week I learned to code Spotify through Java script after watching a half hour video and coding a long with it. It was hard for me to comprehend so I ended up re-watching the video two times and going back to take notes in my coding.  This week I worked on learning HTML and CSS to start on my Spotify face. So far I've gotten the top bar with images of the settings, recently played, and what's new. I also have it saying "good afternoon", like it says on Spotify.   Next week I'm gonna try to make it so my pictures are set on the right side like they are on Spotify. https://trello.com/b/tEEuKc24/spotify-project
