Review Sprint 1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My Task to be reviewed are as follows:
Click on the browse button once u open the app u will get a view with a textbox 
and a button called get near by dishes
1) In the textbox u can write a name of the dish or a restaurant and it will 
get u all the available dishes of u typed in a restaurant name & if u typed in 
a dish it will take u to the Details view of this dish.
[Note: The textbox is auto complete].

2) Clicking on the Button will supposedly get the recommend dishes close to ur 
current spot. "for u to test it clearly pin any restaurant close to u on ur map 
so I can enter information abt that restaurant in the db"

3) Last if u reach the details view of dish u can rate it to contribute in the 
total rating of that specific dish.

U can download the .apk file from this link:- 
http://code.google.com/p/bfb-mobile-project/downloads/list

If u have any questions plz fell free to ask.

I usually do that through maps.google.com
U can go get directions by default loaction A is set as "My Location this will 
pin ur location"

Use the attached .apk "so the gps won't change the taken value into one which 
is available in db"

I will be placing to new dishes in our db: 1) close to ur address u sent me 
yesterday
2) close to uni incase u couldn't test from home

If u are testing using the emulator, get near dishes should work if u give it
lat=30.06, lng=31.34 from the DDMS

Dear salma this is my review:

=========================================================================
1st task:
Entering names of restaurants and seeing available dishes and their info
=========================================================================
1) tests were successful on the tablet.
2) Interface intuitive
3) font can be a little bit bigger to ease reading in the list 
4) colors of the details page should be reduced a little bit
5) Rating sometimes work and sometimes not. It might be related to needing 
special pinch or so on the machine so it should be clarified somehow.

========================
2nd task:
Getting near by dishes
========================

So far I am not able to see results of this task to decide whether it is 
working or not. 
** on the tablet : my home location is not entered, so the search apparently 
happens with no problems but it cannot detect near by restaurants because 
nothing is in the database (according to salma). There should be a message 
saying nothing was found though.

** on the emulator: the button of get dishes throws exception as soon as it is 
clicked. The guess is it cannot sync with receiving the GPS data from the DDMS 
(mine and salma's guess)

Another important remark : you must have google API installed to run the app.

Yes forgot to mention the google API thing coz it is not for my part. Plus u 
won't need it if ur testing on a device so I totally forgot.

Now me and salma re-tested and the results for task 2 are appearing. 
The problem was the long and lat determined by my nokia are different than my 
location (not accurate enough) with more than the tolerance range allowed by 
the app. Consequently it couldn't detect the dishes as close enough to my 
location. It was solved by getting the readings of the GPS from the android 
tablet itself. Whether or not the range should be extended needs further 
testing for meaningful data and sense of closeness to users( the difference 
between both locations is around 1 Km i think). 

Another point is about ratings: user is allowed to rate once then everything is 
disabled. However this is not so convenient in usability because if i made a 
mistake I cannot fix it. On the other hand the default is 5 stars and i can 
reduce them by clicking on the corresponding star. But when i click on star 1, 
2 stars are still selected. Sensitivity need to be caliberated a little bit for 
rating
