Welcome to the Timely Fitness project!

Timely Fitness is an Android app that helps you keep good track of your fitness, and occasionally gives you somewhat functional reminders to get moving.

To create this project, I didn't just need to learn Java. I also had to use:

• XML
• Markdown (this file that you're reading right now is written in this scripting language, which offers functionality similar to that of HTML)
• Gradle (a build tool that allows you to package runtime dependencies along with your compiled Java bytecode into something called a "build")

The app works through a central file called MainActivity.java. It contains a crucial method in the code known as the "main" method, which the compiler looks for when it tries to execute the app. Currently, the main function looks something like this:

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        SharedPreferences SP = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
        String dayNightAuto = SP.getString("dayNightAuto", "2");
        int dayNightAutoValue;
        try {
            dayNightAutoValue = Integer.parseInt(dayNightAuto);
        } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
            dayNightAutoValue = 2;
        }
        if (dayNightAutoValue == getResources().getInteger(R.integer.dark_mode_value)) {
            AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
            SweetAlertDialog.DARK_STYLE = true;
        } else if (dayNightAutoValue == getResources().getInteger(R.integer.light_mode_value)) {
            AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
            SweetAlertDialog.DARK_STYLE = false;
        } else {
            AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_FOLLOW_SYSTEM);
            int currentNightMode = getResources().getConfiguration().uiMode
                    & Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK;
            switch (currentNightMode) {
                case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_YES:
                    SweetAlertDialog.DARK_STYLE = true;
                    break;
                case Configuration.UI_MODE_NIGHT_NO:
                default:
                    SweetAlertDialog.DARK_STYLE = false;
            }
        }

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,
                Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

            File folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/FastnFitness");
            boolean success = true;
            if (!folder.exists()) {
                success = folder.mkdir();
            }
            if (success) {
                folder = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/FastnFitness/crashreport");
                success = folder.mkdir();
            }

            if (folder.exists()) {
                if (!(Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() instanceof CustomExceptionHandler)) {
                    Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new CustomExceptionHandler(
                            Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/FastnFitness/crashreport"));
                }
            }
        }

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

I'd agree with everyone's thoughts right now; it looks messy. But the system has to check over a lot of things, like the display size, the status of the device, and some strange abomination that is the light mode/dark mode switcher thingy.

Parts of the library functions for this project were forked from other awesome creations, such as a project by brodeurlv that is called FastNFitness. I found his CSV data parsing functions extremely helpful, and included a folder of some of the functions that he wrote to parse mine. I also used Google Code Snippets, which are folders of functions that the team behind the Android mobile operating system wrote to help developers along, so I need to acknowledge that I used their functional code to help me make this project possible.

• The official documentation and presentation for this Android application can be found at the GitHub Pages website for this repository: https://anksharskarp.github.io/Timely-Fitness/
• Make sure you read the NOTICE.md file for an important disclaimer about the external code/libraries/dependencies that I used in my project and how I gave credit to the code that others wrote.
• I (William Zhang) am not responsible for any damages to devices if you download the APK from the releases tab. Up to this point, I have not tested the code, and cannot give any guarantees about the safety and quality of my code until I learn to stop complaining about the incessant bugs in my code to use JUnit or JBoss for testing.
• If you want to contribute, email me at [email protected].
• Credits to brodeurlv, because I used his Android app as a template for mine to highlight how terrible I am at Android development(nobody saw that). The project's software license permitted the reuse of some of his CSV parsing functions, which were super helpful to me for data storage on one's local device.
