Hi everyone,
This year I am working on the Hawkular Android application as part of the Google Summer of Code 2015 program.
The last week I spent of familiarization with the project and its key terms. With the help of public Hawkular servers, the Docker image and snapshots I looked at the API and experimented a bit to understand how things actually work. As a result I’ve created a wiki page [1] with the brief overview of key Hawkular terms. In the process I’ve opened a very first Hawkular issue regarding Docker image [2]. As a result of better understanding what is what I’ve created a very rough mockup of the UI [3] which I’ve also sent to the design team. Hopefully after a review of functions and design I can proceed with the development itself. There is some source code already [4] but mostly it is just a basic project structure, it is almost useless to the end user at this point.
I would like to start the development process this week. Of course it will require a better understanding of what actually should be done — I’ve tried to clarify this with creating the mockup. I think a basic authentication plus resources fetching is a good bet to work on even without clear requirements, so it can be started right away. Probably I should prepare a script to fill a Hawkular instance with some sample information — in Python or just plain cURL. If anyone has something like that — that will be a great help. I was advised to look at the test scenario [5] as a departure point but maybe someone of you have a similar thing locally.
Regards,
Artur.
