More Work on my FirefoxOS App

I made the app a lot prettier and I fixed an animation problem because the div I was animating did not have a relative position. The problem I'm having right now is positioning a container with buttons in it and for some reason I'm so bad at positioning stuff. For some reason my repo isn't working for whatever reason so I'll definitely get my changes pushed Monday and then you can see the app for yourself.

FirefoxOS App

I got the structure of my app working which I think was mostly due to an unclosed div and I added a few touches like a back button. So what I'm working on my app now is being able to move a div using buttons but obviously the phone won't have a keyboard so I have to make my own buttons. I thought it was going to be pretty easy but I have no idea why my code isn't working. I'm just saying that if one id is clicked, another id should be animated but I can't figure out the problem.

I continued to work on my app today so I fixed a few problems mostly involving classes and IDs. I made it so that the app is a list and you'll see how I did it but it also currently doesn't work because when you click on a list item you aren't redirected to another page. I'll try to get it working by the end of the week assuming I don't get a response from Marcia but I'll push it to github either way but it would be better if it was functional.

jQuery Mobile Working

Marcia is apparently going to be traveling for the next few weeks so she can't be as responsive and she wasn't able to review my work so I don't really have any tasks currently. I decided to just work on my app then in the mean time which meant that I had to get jQuery Mobile working. I spent most of my class time doing that and I did finally get it working after I just closely reviewed a different app I made. Turns out the problem was right in front of me, I was just importing the jQuery Mobile CSS incorrectly.

BuddyUp Tasks

Marcia emailed me a very helpful email and she modified the etherpad link so I know what to do now. I just need to email her about a couple of things, like where I should post my results, but she was very helpful.

So I went through the Helpee Ask a Question Scenario and the first time I did it, I did not get a confirmation screen with an "OK" button but I saw my question with the timestamp. The second time I did it the scenario passed and it included the confirmation screen and I noticed that "notification" was spelled wrong.

She then wanted me to make my own test case for answering a question so here is what I made and I'm going to email her to see if it's good.

Acceptance criteria: * “View Unanswered Questions” button available on home page as I launch the app * Tapping the “View Unanswered Questions” button lets me view questions* I can choose between new and active questions to answer* Clicking on a question makes replies appear and a text box at the bottom allows users to reply to questions* Submitting the question closes the keyboard and my reply appears with a time stamp.     

               

• launch the BuddyUp app from the homescreen.

• The app successfully opens and you can see content.

• Tap on the "View Unanswered Questions" input field.

• The user is directed to the Unanswered Questions page with 2 tabs at the top, "Active" and "New".

• Choose a question and type a response in the text box and press the arrow to send.

• You will see your reply posted below any other previously posted replies with a timestamp.

BuddyUp Tasks

I emailed Marcia but she didn't get back to me during the class period but hopefully she responds by tomorrow and I understand what to do because I haven't accomplished too much with these BuddyUp tasks. I think I almost understand what to do but I want a bit more guidance, I think she wants me to reply to a helper in BuddyUp and then document it on MozTrap or something but these instructions are a bit confusing because she is talking about two tasks and it's pretty vague.

BuddyUp Tasks

I took a look at the etherpad link again to follow her instructions but I don't really understand what to do and I think her instructions may be wrong because when I searched for the test case, nothing came up. Maybe you understand it better than I do but I'm now lost so I'll ask you about it tomorrow and I'll email Marcia if necessary.
