This week has been the beginning of some trial layout mockups and learning how to express that in an android application. Victor and I have been doing research into and beginning to code the application side, using the Android plugin for Eclipse to create the .xml files. Currently we have a working text-box that "sends" a message to be displayed on the screen using a send button, as well as the beginning of some context menus that still need to be fleshed out. Mike has continued working on the back-end encryption. Most specifically, re-writing our key generator to improve randomization and promote overall better coding style.
Next week we are looking at finishing a basic layout and the applications functionality. We will also start customizing the design of the app, giving it a theme to make it more visually appealing. After most of the visual side is done, we will focus on making the application send data in the form of text to another phone before adding in the encryption side.
