Permissions and Android

One of the most important things to remember while programming for Android is to remember to ask for permission before doing things :-) If you do not ask for permissions to use different features on the OS, your program will crash without a very sensible error. You can ask for permissions in AndroidManifest.xml file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />

App Design

What is CourseApp ?

This weblog is dedicated to a semester project at a course called "Development of mobile information systems and services" at IFI, university of Oslo. The project is planned to become an application on mobiles with Android OS, which can help students have better access to the course pages at institute for informatics at university of Oslo. 

There is also hope to be able to eventually subscribe to the desired courses through the StudentWeb with our application, but this will be dependent on the level of cooperation from StudentWeb developers as we might be needing a direct access to the database. We have thought to have following functionalities on our program(numbers show also priority).

1. My courses
2. Latest messages on course page
3. Warning on Email
4. Integration with Android Calender
5. Friends taking same course
