Agenda: To discuss our work with the group



Discussion: 

  • Jose and Dave presented a new UI for the Home screen. Design is sleek and eye-grabbing. 

  • I added an Audio screen that is able to stream music locally and play it. The screen serves as a music player in the app. 

  • Mike was unable to figure out how to get the voice commands to work. We extended the due date to next week. 

  • Brilzen added a Google Maps Navigation screen to the app, allowing the user to type in any address and receive the location and directions on the map. 

  • We set up Visual Studio Online (TFS), to enable us to check in, edit and check out code from home. We were using a Google Doc and zipping/emailing previously to transport code, which was inefficient and time consuming. 

Meeting Ended at 4:22pm
