iSupplement Progress – Gettin’ it done!
Posted by Chris on Mar 27, 2011 in iOS Apps | 0 comments
Alright been cracking away at iSupplement v3.0.0 and its look good. There have been way more UI changes than I had originally planned, so far performance is also up. If you look at the screen sheet sneak peak you will see the new UIToolBar on the bottom of the screen. This toolbar has 2 buttons, one for viewing your scheduled medications (still need to adjust how the table view text wil look) the other will be used to track notifications that had been irgnored.You can see that the postpone button has been added, and the feature is fully implemented already.
Features Causing Issues
The main feature that is causing issues is the Notification system I am trying to implement. Currently you can only tell a local notification what to set the icon badge for. If you have 2 notifications fire, and they both set it to 1, your badge can’t increment past 1. This is a fundamental flaw with Apples UILocalNotifications class. The other issue is somewhat related. I am working on making a system that syncs notifications to determine which notifications were missed based on an ongoing list. There is a lot to wrap your head around on this but I believe it can done with some more planning and trial-and-error.
If it isn’t obvious, yes I am solely updating iSupplement now. I will then update iSupplementLite (maybe?), and then iPill Trackr. By focusing on each app individually I can guarantee that it gets the features it needs and isn’t being put on a lower priority. Also for each app I work on the updates for the more features I think of and will implement into other apps. So far this method has been working pretty well for me. I will be posting some other things and interesting work arounds I find while building these updates. Enjoy!
