  118. <p>We have introduced the share function on the android app, we have been unsuccessful at implementing the chooser of the Dropbox developers kit so we have implemented the Core API.</p>
  119. <p>This allows us to fetch the addresses of the file names we supply and return a link which can be opened on the Raspberry Pi.</p>
  120. <p>The Display button will open any URL on the server side for added flexibility.</p>

  122. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  123. <p>This is an extract of some of the code we use in our Server, 8 is used as the identifier for a URL being sent, in honour of Port 80; the internet port.</p>
  124. <p>When an 8 is detected it will not do a regular keyboard or mouse command and will instead open the URL message in Chromium.</p>

  140. <p>We got a few people around college to give the general user mode a test run and critique it.</p>
  141. <p>People were annoyed having to backspace on the &#8220;edit text&#8221; which was in the edit text field so we replaced it with a hint message which can be written over.</p>
  142. <p>Almost every user had no idea that the top half of the screen was the mouse-pad unless we told them so we placed in a small border and a picture of a mouse to give a better impression of what that area does.</p>

  160. <p>We have added hints to the IP address and Port number sections to make it look more user friendly, it allows us to make a connection to any Linux device with the server.</p>
  161. <p>For added usability we have added three options for mouse sensitivity, I personally use high sensitivity on most computers but we included the medium for regular users and low for people who want the most precise movements.</p>
  162. <p>These settings are saved in the SharedPreferences xml file of the Android App and can be accessed by any activity in the app.</p>

  178. <p>We are having some problems making the fetch instruction work using Google Slides so we are going back to our original idea, Dropbox.</p>
  179. <p>They have a seemingly easy to use addition called the &#8220;chooser&#8221; which allows you to access files already stored on your Dropbox. Hopefully we&#8217;ll be able to send these over the the Raspberry Pi like we intended to do with Google Slides.</p>
  180. <p>Google Slides will still work with the project but unfortunately the user may have to manually open the browser to access it.</p>

  197. <p>Using Daemontools DJB proved to be a bit more annoying to use than anticipated. We have decided to set it up manually for the moment using rc.local. We will have a script which will run in rc.local which will run the server.</p>

  213. <p>We are going to use Daemontools DJB to enable our Raspberry Pi to run the server on start-up, this will allow the user to connect to the server without having to compile and run the program themselves as if they could compile and run it themselves they would already have to have a mouse and keyboard connected to the Raspberry Pi making the project&#8217;s functionality questionable.</p>

  229. <p>We were having a lot of problems trying to save values on the App side so that multiple activities could access values the user previously had saved.</p>
  230. <p>After a number of failed attempts of trying to pass the values linearly from one activity to another using the .putExtra feature of intent but eventually we came across SharedPreferences which saves values into an xml file to be extracted later. It works perfectly.</p>
  231. <p>Here we save values within our setting to be used later using SharedPreferences.</p>

  250. <p>We made a custom app icon for the project just to give it more of a personal touch, the main aspects of the icon are the Raspberry Pi and the WiFi symbol to show that you will be connecting to the Raspberry Pi via WiFi.</p>

  270. <p>I&#8217;ve been trying to make the app a bit less bland, I might have to dial back on the colours a little, looks a bit legoish or childish.</p>
  271. <p>Still it is much easier to implement than I&#8217;ve thought and gives a lot more life to the design.</p>
