Introduction

Couple of days back, we announced our recent updates to our @actifit SMT project. This involved a lot of development work across 2 weeks.
This is my development contribution related to the project, and includes updates and commit history for versions 0.1.1, 0.1.2, and 0.2.0 as per github updates.

What is Actifit?

Actifit is an SMT (Smart Media Token) that rewards fitness related activity via Actifit tokens. The process is as simple as 1-2-3:
1- Download the app
2- Auto-Track your Activity
3- Post to steemit and get rewarded

Technology Stack

The project's app (current dev update) is built on Android native (Java), utilizing Android Studio and SQLite db for storing on-device information.

What work has been done?

Version 0.1.1 - which involved the following work : commit link

• Fix for issue with lengthy text content on post to steemit screen causing overlap of sections while posting to steemit. This required a switch of the layout type used on the screen, as well as implementing the means for preventing the content entry editor from overlapping the actual text box display.
• Creating new settings section which allows modifying and configuring sensors. This later has been deprecated in later update due to problems with alternative sensors and hence became useless.
• Fix issue with number of steps resetting to zero after reaching 1,000

Version 0.1.2 - which involved the following work: commit link

• Add progress display on post submission to steemit
  

• Change post submission and connectivity to java thread approach, as prior approach caused app to become unresponsive for few seconds.

• Add display of success notification upon post creation, and clearing out post content after submission

• Add default title content for daily steemit post according to following format: "My Actifit Report Card: Date"

• Fix issue on step history screen with multiple rows of similar content/replicas showing in history

• Add activity type drop down options (required field) to allow users selecting their daily activity(ies)
  

• Changes to post report posted on steemit to include activity type(s)

• Revamp whole database structure, storing and displaying info. Old local data will no longer be visible after upgrade.

Version 0.2.0 - which involved the following work: commit link

• Adding new leaderboard screen displaying daily top 5 scores
  
• Transitioning from "step" to "move/activity/action" concept, and adjusting relevant terminology accordingly across the application
• Fix random issue of multiple increments of steps on single steps (steps were increasing at times x2 or x3 at once)
• Implementing a cross-device solution to allow background tracking of activity relying on accelerometer sensor, and hence dropping support for earlier settings screen and sensor switching approach introduced in 0.1.1.
• Minor visual adjustments across screens.

Roadmap

We already accomplished some of the items we had on our prior roadmap, yet the project is still in infancy, with the following functionality planned for now:

• Adding wallet/token count display on the Android app.
• Adding image upload functionality from the app
• Adding calories, distance, GPS, and time tracking
• Adding a forget credentials (user and posting key) for removing user account info off the device (it is not stored anywhere online anyhow)
• Adding capability to store and track age, weight, measurements and progress
• Graphics based and look and feel enhancements
• Creating an iOS version (highly requested)
• Improving user token count and transaction display
• Launching actifit.io official website
