Week progress

This week, I tried to make a simple android client servlet, which I'll implement to make my application work (log in action, sharing location information, etc.)
Also I've learned some more about how can I combine my activities in application.
The next time, I'll use this knowledge to take my projectt to appropriate form.

2. week

I've decided to create my project in NetBeans IDE (8.0.2) with a few additional plugins (http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/44510/gradle-support, http://nbandroid.org/updates/updates.xml, http://nbandroid.org/updates/updates.xml) and to manage it on gitlab. However, I'd be able to change my decision in the future, if I'll face with an unsolvable software problem. ;)

My plan for coming two weeks:

• Code a cascade of my application for console.
• Create an interface.
• Gather the necessary information for further developing.

Description

My application will show a current location of users of a group on a map by processing GPS data from their devices. This information will be collected, logged and refreshed with a certain frequency by server in database with users personal information, then will be shared when required. Application structure:

1. Registration: will offer user to sign in the application or to make a new profile and fill in the personal information. (optional: "forget the password"-case)
2. Main screen: a map of a group with dots, that show the group members' current location on this map (by clicking on dot will pop-up the photo of user), below will be a list with colored nicknames and status identifiers near them (almost like in Skype: work/busy/can talk/can meet).
3. Groups screen: groups list, buttons: "make a new group", "join a new participant".
4. Options screen: would offer to edit a personal information, buttons: "change password", "change photo", "change nickname", "set refresh frequency", "change status", "invisible"-mode.
