Project Description
An Android App that assists the user in accomplishing everyday tasks, and getting things done more effectively. This app will allow the user to set a reminder to do a task based on the time. It will also allow the users to set reminders based on their location, so that if the user is within a certain radius of that location they will be reminded to perform that task. There will also be check boxes so that when the uses perform the task they can check off that they have completed it.

Week 1 (May 13th - May 19th)
This week we focused on the UI and planned out how we would set up the features of the app. We set up two activities for the user. The first activity is the main page that the app opens to that lists the reminders that the user has set. This activity sends an intent to the second activity with the name of the reminder when the user clicks on the edit button. The second activity allows the user to add details, such as time and location, to their new reminders.

Week 2 (May 20th - May 26th)
This week we improved our UI and added more activities for the functionality of our layout. We added our "REMIND ME ON A DAY" activity. This activity displays the calendar reminders that the user sets in the main activity as well as a specific time that the user can set. Once the user exits this activity the date and time will be sent back to the MainActivity page to be displayed on the users Reminder List. We also added shared preferences in our OnPause() and OnResume() functions, so that when the user exits and closes the app his or her reminder list will still be available to view when opening the app again.

Week 3 (May 27th - June 2nd)
This week we integrated the Google Maps API to our app, so that the user can drop a pin at the location at which they have a task to complete. We also made it so that the longitude and latitude of the pin that the user drops is converted to the city and the state that the user wishes to set the reminder to, which we implemented using Google Maps GeoCoder function. The newly-set location-based reminder then displays in the main activity along with the calendar-based reminders.

Week 4 (June 3rd - June 9th)
This week we set up the time-based notifications that correspond with the calendar reminders. The user sets the time and day that they want the notification to occur. The user can set the time the notification occurs separate from the time the reminder displays in case the user wants the reminder to occur sooner than what it says on the list. The notifications run in the background and are able to notify the user even when the phone is not in use. The code below is the function that we use to start the notification and send an alarm service, and be able to broadcast it to the user's phone.

We made all of our markers visible on the map via shared preferences. This way the user can see the markers that they set even when they leave the app. Additionally, the user is able to click on the marker and see the name of the location that they set the marker at. We also focused on fixing minute bugs and fine-tuning our UI.
