MDDN 352, Project 3, moving to Eclipse

So after a very long weekend trying to get that barcode scanner working it still hasn't been able to work. We downloaded everything which we needed for it to work but it still hasn't which was really frustrating.

I had a chat with Ryan and he came to have a look at the code to see what was the problem. He also said that it should work, BUT when he couldn't figure it out he read a line of code which made us realize that this wasn't code for a barcode scanner but a barcode generator. We extremely shocked when we saw that and it did feel like a complete waste of a weekend.

So since that we weren't able to get the barcode scanner working in eclipse we have decided to move to eclipse.

So once again I am going to be learning another new language in this paper. Over the next couple of days I plan on just watching some tutorials and getting to know how to use java.

Ryan told me of a great tutorial channel which focus's completely on android development.

So while Joss continues to work on the art of our project I plan on getting to know this program.
