Alpha bugs and fixes for version

So far, we've tested the Alpha version for multiple tests and different models and system versions, we've been constantly discovering bugs in our tests, and we've made a number of aspects that we need to improve from the user experience point of view, and we'll list these aspects and then fix and improve them in categories.

>> UI Aspect

We have repeatedly stressed that this is a look at the "face" of the community, of course, our app should also have a beautiful "face", so as to attract users to use. During the previous phase of the development process, we used the various controls that were included with Android, including buttons, edit boxes, picture displays, and so on. After the development of the latter part, the function code of the backend is close to complete, so we shift our focus to the decision to make some changes in the UI, or "overturn the re-change".

We've got a new inspiration from Google's new design language, material, which is a design framework for material design, which is comparable to Apple's. After discussion, we decided to use this design style to carry out the new design.

All in all, after a "torture", we had a full "facelift" for Let's.

Before after

>> back-end aspects

In the back-end of the functional code after the basic improvement, the players into the test and the bug in the loop, you can say the bug is more and more, but in the cooperation of the players, written on the list of the bug has gradually been crossed off.

The day before the release date, in order to be able to show a better alpha version, the players still work on the first front of the bug.

Environment

Development environment

Alpha during the first half of the development we use Eclipse Luna to develop the software.
later, in order to make the UI better design, we transferred the project to the Android Studio on

Why do we need to change the IDE? in fact, after we have identified the topic, our first choice is Android Studio, because it has almost one-sided praise on the internet. But when each of us was configured with Android studio and found that the hardware was a mishap, and then in the "want to die" voice, we also helpless to change into Eclipse Luna, first of all we have half a semester of experience using Eclipse, Second, it compiles the speed and the smooth work experience, these two points all let us once feel that eclipse is competent to assume the development work of our product. Not so good, after we focused on modifying the UI, and because Android studio has the power of eclipse, we really became "wall grass" this time, and fell to the end of the AS. It's not that Android studio is so slow to compile that it drives us once again (really?). ) backwards to eclipse.

We don't really want to change the IDE's behavior in the middle of the way.

If you want to know the difference between Eclipse and Android studio, the kids who are interested can refer to some answers: http://www.zhihu.com/question/21534929

Operating Environment

android 4.4 KitKat
an ID 5.0 lo lli pop

Why is Android 4.4 minimum supported? Our minimum version depends on the open source project you are using. To achieve material design style, we use open source projects on GitHub that indirectly determine the minimum compatibility of our products.

Why not support Android 6.0 and above system? Android 6.0 is not supported for the time being, because the Android 6.0 system has a relatively small number of handsets.

Installation Instructions

Search our app name "Let's" from the Android software store, then download the install package apk for free, install it automatically after the download is complete, need to confirm the APK installation, after the installation is complete, the Let's app icon will appear in the phone's software list, click to use.

"Picture Making"

Release of Software

A good Android Market platform can have a negligible impact on download volume. Good applications if you do not choose a good market release, it is far less than those who are generally published in the user's many platforms, resulting in a higher download volume. There are so many Android platforms to choose from, but be cautious. Choosing a more published platform is a contribution to the popularity of your application, but maintenance costs and release costs are considered. At the same time, in the choice of platform, not only to consider their share of the market, but also to consider their main customer base and whether developer-friendly. How to promote, how to register, and how to audit will affect the choice of application publishing.

Application Market Overview
Google the official application market	Initial Login to market requires 25$ domestic credit card and a foreign address is not required. This is not very convenient for us. And we are mainly for domestic students, so the official platform is not considered.
App Bao	App Bao is the latest emerging market share of the release platform, and the release process is not complex, audit will not delay too long.
the Mobile Assistant	the the handset assistant's market share is also very big, has many people to use the market. However , there are many are not self-installed, and most of them are not very likely to uninstall the mobile phone applications, which are older people mainly, should say that the customer is not our application is mainly oriented.
Baidu Android Market	Baidu's Android Market share is also very large, pirated Android users can even download this platform. And this release will be in the Baidu mobile phone assistant can also be found, is a good choice.

To sum up, we have chosen to release our products in app Bao , Baidu Android Market ,360 mobile phone assistants and MIUI application supermarket . Posted on a platform may be a bit low coverage, released on 3-4 platforms is what we can maintain, within our ability to choose.
