A New Look for the Health app

Image
This required the creation of a new view ( homepage ) along with the creation of 2 widgets ( circular progress bar and arrow ) drawn with cairo. The rationale for this design is to show important data at the top. Users can get more details ( graphs and activity history ) by clicking the buttons below. Right now there only three buttons, but we will soon add 1 more button that will show the history of calories burnt . This will then have a 2x2 grid appearance

An Update on my GSoC project

This is a short description of what I've been working on. On 7th June, I started working on the first task of my project (Redesigning Health’s MainView). The objective was to create a popup window that contains an AdwViewSwitcherTitle in the header bar which lets the user switch between tabs (Add Activity Data and Add Weight Data). We might add another tab (Water Intake Data). I am enjoying it so far! I will post further updates in the coming weeks

Redesigning Health's MainView

  A Brief about my GSoC project We will redesign the Health app and add a few more features. The motivation for this redesign is to display important information on the main view and the other data must be easily accessible to the user.  Data can be step-count, calories burnt, weight measurements etc. This project is written in rust and it uses gtk-rs. This was one of the existing project ideas. The following sections describe the subparts of the project. Creating a new home page for the application We will display the current day’s data along with buttons that take us to the other tabs Another change that we will make is that we will change the way data is added. It will now be a popup window that has tabs that will let the user choose the type of data to add (in our case the type of data will either be “Activity” or “Weight”) and add the required data. We will most likely showcase this feature for QUADEC. Activity view and Weight view We should display the activities and weights and
