-Going to add functionality to the "status" attribute of TaskModel and filtering TaskFeed to only display those that are available.
-Going to research ways of handling approval process for accepting tasks and ways to notify users that their task is pending approval/they have been approved/etc.

Here is a non-comprehensive list of things that still need to be done in order for the app to function

Things that still need to be completed

Feed Activity
- Query by location
- Add a loading spinner for before the data is retrieved
- Add a search button?

ListFeedAdapter
- Change picture of listitem using Glide

CreateTask
- Make Number Spinners work
- Calculate cost of paypal
- Add paypal payment

Account
- Make the account page

Settings
- Make the settings page

Current Tasks
- Querying for both types of Tasks
- Displaying that data

Task
- Ability to accept tasks
- Ability to edit tasks
- Ability to add updates to task

Please pick one of these and open a new issue to signify that you will do it.

We really need those testing tools to work so if someone wants to do that, that would be much appreciated.

This is a comprehensive list of what needs to be done, if you think something else needs to be done, please comment below. This list is also in order of importance, starting with 1 and breaking down into sub-categories starting with a.

1. Create Task
   1a. Error checking for the input forms needs to be added, all of the text inputs are wrapped in TextInputLayouts and so this should be trivially easy to add an error message underneath, please refer to here for documentation on that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30953449/design-android-edittext-to-show-error-message-as-described-by-google
   1b. Fix the floating point error that is display in the summary.xml dialog, and add '$' to the subtotal display.
   1c. Change layout so that the cost doesn't change the layout completely

2. Adding PayPal
   This is pretty important that this be set up asap because it takes 3-5 days for a regular account to be transformed to a business account.
   2a. We need to add a PayPal checkout after a perform hits "Request Errand"
   2b. We need to ensure this is securely handled within our firebase db.

3. Task Activity
   3a. We need to fill the Task activity with the correct data, all the components should be labeled correctly in activity_task.xml. When the activity starts, it is sent a taskID, from the feeds. With this task ID, we can perform a Query on firebase to return the info for the task and get the info you need to fill the activity in with
   3b. Need a way for users to accept an available errand.

4. The Feeds
   4a. We need to add a content provider, there are many, many better ones than SQLite, so if you have suggestions, please put them below. When we first open the app, we need to populate the content provider so we don't have to query firebase every time someone changes to a different feed.
   4b. Geofire (Found here https://github.com/firebase/geofire-java), can be used to query the HomeFeed to get tasks based on location.

5. Accepting an Errand
   5a. We need be able to let people accept errands, and we can do this with the following
   5a1. a person clicks on an errand and tries to accept the errand
   5a2. the creator is notified and has a choice of approving or declining the person that tried to accept the errand

5aa. We could possible add a feature for users to negotiate on the price of an errand that the creator may accept or decline

6. Need to add a balance activity
   6a. This is where a user can request a payout to their PayPal

7. The rest of the triggers, this will be easy if we complete the above

• UpdateReceiver for external task info input
• UpdateTask parses input, queries DB for match
  • If match, populate UpdateConfirm screen and wait for confirmation
  • Yes: overwrite, finish
  • No: populate & drop into CreateTask

BroadcastReceiver objects need context - testing with receivers embedded in MainActivity

Set up PayPal REST app via developer acct, integrate with app where necessary (create payment when task complete based on stored price information)

I am currently working on creating a delete task button that will not only delete the task from the firebase but will completely remove the task from the TaskFeedAdapter as well.

I am going to add Geofire to the Home Feed so we will be able to Query tasks based on location without grabbing all of the data from the database and comparing each Location object with .distanceTo(). If you would like to lean more, please visit their GitHub, https://github.com/firebase/geofire
