Symphony of the Seas

Inspiration

We like to think of our app as the sail of our entrepreneur 'ship.' And yes, we know she's gonna soar.

What it does

It is an app that is central to our cruise experience

How we built it

We used the android studio to build it. We primarily made use of Java and XML in our project.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we ran into as two freshmen was definitely lack of technical expertise. Many a time we would think of some really great features for our app and would find ourselves unable to actually implement them. For example, it took us a long time to learn how to make a button on a screen open the next activity. Along the way, we discovered that our HAXM engine was a version older than required. But the SDK manager showed that it was up to date. After some head scratching, we managed to re-install it using the help of reddit and stackoverflow.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are really proud that we were able to deliver a finished product. We are happy that our app has many of the features we wanted to include in it.

What we learned

We learned more about working on the Android Studio than we did before coming here certainly. We also honed our Java and XML in the process.

What's next for Symphony of the Seas

Well, first it will certainly grace its allotted space in our Github profiles. We would like to re-use some of the features of the app in future projects. Finally, of course, if anyone is on the lookout for a "Digital Cruise Experience," you know who to call.
