Externally sourced code
ConnectDB
- This code was learned from by my teacher, Mr Murugan in
class. This class had to be altered slightly to be able to connect
with my Access database
EmailManager
- I was able to source the EmailManager from the help of a friend
who sent me to stackoverflow.com to find the code. I altered
the code to a degree and created an outlook account to work
with the code since google had blocked 3rd parties from
accessing Gmail
Explanation of critical Algorithms
- Login method
Reason to be a critical algorithm
-
The code above validates the admin username and password. If the code was
absent, anyone would be able to change the admins timetable to however they like
or delete anything. The code ensures the safety of the Admins control over the
Schedule and rest of the Application not available to a guest
- Fill tables method
(this is the code for tblMonday but works for everyday of the week if changed to that
variable name in the SQL statement and in the ResultSet)
Reason to be a critical algorithm
-
The code above fills in the tables for the schedules of the week. This is the backbone
to the whole application and would be useless without the tables for each day of the
week. Therefore, it is a critical algorithm in the Application
Advanced Techniques:
- Inner Join
(closer look)
This inner join statement in set into SQL, included the use of 3 tables
– Teachers, Schedule2 and Periods. From Schedule2 I got the periodID as the first column.
From Teachers I got first name, surname, and subject. From Periods I got the start time and
end time as the fifth and sixth columns. This was used to create a table in Java with all
relevant information for the schedule while still keeping my database in 3NF
- Email code
This function will only work if the computer is connected to the internet.
- The use of javax.mail allows the user to send an email with their relevant
information without leaving the application. This connects to the premade outlook
account and sends an email to the own account when a customer care email is sent.
The sender sends his own email address too and therefore allows Customer Care to
send him an email with a solution
- Search bar
This void method allows the developer to use it with any table of their choice. I used it in My
teacher table since I have a lot of different teachers. The use of
setRowFilter(RowFilter.regexFilter(text)) allows the user to search for any component in the
table rather than only being able to search a single search method
-
(ASK about notificationManager)
- StatisticsManager
Evaluation of Solution:
Initially, I wanted to allow myself to be able to see my daily schedule and
change the schedule accordingly. I hoped that this would keep me more
orderly and allow me to be on time and ready for my week in advance.
As I continued to develop the app, I realised that by allowing anyone to add
themselves into my schedule when I have free time would and give me a
notification when I log in, would allow others to handle my appointments,
dates, meetings or other with them.
I do not believe this is application is ground-breaking and could incorporate
many new features in the future. To be able to make it a downloadable add
with online usability would be the main goal for this application in the long run.
By adding the customer Care email feature, I will be notified of flaws in the
code and be able to fix them for future users
