Inspiration

The great doctors and medical staff that are working hard every day to keep us safe have inspired us to help them and spread awareness about the pandemic. We want to provide information for the public on where people can go to or do spend time during Quarantine.

What it does

This app gives multiple guides for COVID-19. There is a self-assessment that determines whether testing for COVID-19 is necessary, along with many instructions on how to stay safe and not contact COVID. We also have a link that helps users find their nearest testing center, along with online shopping links to find masks, gloves, and other gear that is useful to have during the pandemic. We also give a calendar to help users know when their 2 week period of self-quarantine has finished. We also added a things to do bar. In it, users

How we built it

We used Android Studio to build our app. It integrates XML and Java!

Challenges we ran into

We had very funny challenges! We couldn’t think of a good color scheme that clashes with other colors. We settled on teal because it was an easy color on the eyes and aesthetic. Also, we didn’t quite know how to create a map and a 2-week isolation calculator, so we had to learn at 3 AM! We finally got it to work and it looks amazing and the date is formatted in an international way: DAY/MONTH/YEAR

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are so proud of our group for spending hours on this project and learning so much about how to code. We’re also proud of how far our app has come and how useful it can be to those who want to learn more about how to stay healthy during the pandemic.

What we learned

We learned how much patience is required to make an app, especially when time is limited. We also learned more about Android OS and how to get better with code, hoping that these refreshed skills will help us in the future.

What's next for CoCo-Loco

We need to make sure that our community is staying safe and doing their duty to help stop the spread of the pandemic. We also want to make sure that everyone is well educated on the matter of COVID-19 so that we can facilitate smart decisions.
