Some of our ideas. Some have issues associated with them already.

Some of our ideas. Some have issues associated with them already.
1. Move the sampling stuff to the front screen
2. Scrolling
3. Brighter buttons, more muted backgrounds (including gray rather than bright colors)
4. Bigger buttons
5. Less on any one screen? So split DB actions into multiple screens, for example
6. Linear user flow: database -> platform -> sample (or platform -> sample -> DB)
7. Gestures?
8. Rotation #33
Other stuff
dark mode?
```
setContentView(R.layout.activity_database_actions);
View someView = findViewById(R.id.databaseStatus);
// Find the root view
View root = someView.getRootView();
// Set the color
root.setBackground(getDrawable(R.drawable.background_dark));
```
Navigation (unordered)
* Get a toolbar that can take you to the things you rarely need:
* Settings
* About
* Sensors are the big-ticket items, they get most of the real estate under that
* Database setup and lab notebook are beneath them
* Other
* NavigationUI
* ActionBar
more ideas
* automated unit tests?
* revise data model/re-architect # some notes: two columns: headstream, varchar(5) - sampleunitid, integer (taking the place of spot or stream id)
* license
* take picture of spot, where a spot’s image includes the 3 flags where we’re digging - picture may also include surrounding area, want to correlate images to the data from microbial sampling
* bad idea to have CREATE statements in code a la ReadingsDatabase?
* 2. Fieldday_Streaming_GIS table, with geopoint, is not used
* Postgres fieldday_streaming_gis table
* We should add the geopoint to the fieldday_streaming table
* compute geopoint based on lat and long columns
* mutually_exclusive_group?
* document our testing
* Test elevation streaming
* Leave, walk downstairs, go to the rock, come back
* Or, leave, go to the first crack in the sidewalk at the 4-way stop at public safety where there will be the top of a 2x2 with a nail
* quality control
* rotations
* no sector is displayed but the device will still stream when the button is pressed
* maybe a display problem not a data problem? streaming data appears to be collected
* also the stream button doesn’t blink
* but we get a weird runaway streaming problem where I can’t seem to stop the streaming after a rotation
* Field Day crashes on erasing local database if you have already done so
* Can’t select a sector with the default site, have to change it to get the sector dropdown active
* Number of values each sensor returns
* some return 1,2,3, etc. values
* we don’t do a good job of detecting the number of values in-place
* UX questions
* What do people do? Is there an order?
* Display aggregates - what kinds? count of reads/streams? mean/median/mode/range? lat/long/times start/stop? can there be a map?
* Global settings, or settings changed rarely (e.g. databases)?
* What devices? Is this mainly a tablet app, phone app, or both? (I think both)
* Documentation: "As previously mentioned, the map() function uses integer math. So fractions might get suppressed due to this. For example, fractions like 3/2, 4/3, 5/4 will all be returned as 1 from the map() function, despite their different actual values. So if your project requires precise calculations (e.g. voltage accurate to 3 decimal places), please consider avoiding map() and implementing the calculations manually in your code yourself."

After an upload of, say, X streaming and Y reading rows, we still see X and Y as the local database status. Our understanding should be that, once we’ve uploaded them to the central database, those rows are no longer "local" to the device only.
There are a few possible solutions, and we should discuss them:
1. Completely re-do database setup after each upload - we might then relabel “Upload” as “Upload and sync”. I mildly favor this approach over the others.
2. Auto-sync everything whenever we have Internet.
2. [I think this approach is rejected.] Re-sync the uploads database only. This presents challenges for consistency: on initial setup, we have a complete clone of the subset of the database that’s relevant to our chosen trip. If we merely bring back the timestamp, our uploads would be consistent but nothing else.https://code.cs.earlham.edu/field-science/FieldDay/-/issues/46Crash on tapping the bench sample picture button2021-03-10T10:27:00-05:00Craig EarleyCrash on tapping the bench sample picture buttonText of logcat message will be in the comments.Text of logcat message will be in the comments.https://code.cs.earlham.edu/field-science/FieldDay/-/issues/47Rearrange and rephrase UI buttons2021-04-03T10:12:40-04:00Craig EarleyRearrange and rephrase UI buttons[See this photo of the new layout (the whiteboard text on the right)](/uploads/0e2744b4a152f3d4bba5543fe14ea803/field-day-ui-revise.jpg)[See this photo of the new layout (the whiteboard text on the right)](/uploads/0e2744b4a152f3d4bba5543fe14ea803/field-day-ui-revise.jpg)https://code.cs.earlham.edu/field-science/images/-/issues/11Remove API key from web-image-display/imageThumbnails.php2021-12-08T08:49:46-05:00Porter LibbyRemove API key from web-image-display/imageThumbnails.phpShould be included in a config file or envShould be included in a config file or envhttps://code.cs.earlham.edu/field-science/datavis/-/issues/23Import CSV without spotname field, use id or spotid in place of2022-05-31T12:47:30-04:00Porter LibbyImport CSV without spotname field, use id or spotid in place ofhttps://code.cs.earlham.edu/field-science/fjord-cam/-/issues/1Add higher res image from GoPro2023-02-15T14:37:31-05:00Porter LibbyAdd higher res image from GoProGoPro has photo resolution options.
