Week 3 – Feature Implementation & Functional Expansion

By

 In Week 3, we focused on expanding functionality and demonstrating interactive features for the checkpoint presentation. The goal was to move beyond static UI and implement working logic across multiple screens.

I worked on implementing the Maps screen, including charger markers and a detailed information card displaying charger power, reliability, and status. I added interactive buttons such as “Confirm Working” and “Report Broken” to simulate community feedback mechanisms.

I also built the Add Community Charger screen, creating a structured form that allows users to input charger details such as name, location, reliability, and power output. I connected this to the in-memory state system so new chargers could be integrated into the network.

Additionally, I improved shared state handling across screens to ensure consistency between the Home summary, Maps view, and user inputs from Settings.

This week required more problem-solving than Week 2. Navigation logic, state updates, and UI rendering needed careful attention to ensure that interactions behaved correctly. Through this process, I strengthened my debugging and structural thinking skills.

By the end of Week 3, the project included:

  • Functional tab navigation

  • Trip planning input workflow

  • Dynamic charger display on maps

  • Community charger submission form

  • Configurable settings impacting vehicle logic

We focused on turning structure into functionality, and I contributed directly to implementing and stabilizing these core features.

 This week I suggested that we build a web-based application, since it would be easier to present and maintain . I also shared my screen to walk my team through serveral of my past project s, includes a Movie Review Web App , an Advanced Web Project , a Shooter Game and a Task/Calender App . These demonstrations highlight my technical ability acrosss both web and game development and based on this the team suggrested that I would be the most suitable choice to take on the role of main developer for the project. Beyond my project showcases, I also supported our collaboration setup by creating a Discord server so the team could share updates and stay connected outside formal meetings.

Tausif Rahman This week I presented the  Audit App  concept with its two parts:  Order Audit (OrderAuditPro)  and  Walkthrough Auditor . I later uploaded documentation and demonstration files of an Android version of the Order Audit module, which helped the team understand the concept more clearly. In addition, I encouraged the team to think about their  past subject projects  by asking what they had worked on in Android, iOS, cross-platform, and project management courses, to see if those experiences could be adapted into our current project. Alongside that, I shared several of my own past coursework projects, such as  ScholarSwap  (resource and book exchange platform),  SurvivAway  (a budgeting and life-flow helper), and  FocusFlow  (a study planner with ADHD-focused features). I also raised the issue of  legal risks  in some ideas, such as consumer liability in a Parking App or data security concerns in a Pass...

  participated in the voting process and initially leaned toward the Audit App, but after deeper discussions, I found the Customer Service Checker and Vehicle Manager ideas more scalable and innovative. I located an academic paper titled E-Charge, which described an EV-charging-station planning system using open data and efficiency modelling. I shared the paper with the group and led a discussion on how its methods could guide our approach—particularly its use of driver-collected data, efficiency mapping, and route-planning optimisation. I also helped analyse how to simplify our version for Trimester 1, keeping it practical while leaving room for AI integration later. Additionally, I began finding and reviewing more EV-planning research papers to contribute to our shared knowledge base.
