 | Our journal view. Note the color correspondences between the
map markers and their entries. The markers appear and disappear
you scroll through the entries in the list so that only the entries
visible in the list are shown on the map. The color of entries changes
as well: color corresponds to the list position of an entry on the screen.
We chose our colors according to aesthetics, good contrast, and to a
lesser extent (but still considering) color blindness. The three main colors
used are a perfect triad of purple, green, and blue.
The map is animated when scrolling to keep the zoom and positioning of
the map consistent with the visible entries. The map is also interactive,
with the expected drag controls (zoom controls also appear when the
map is touched).
Shorthand icons highlight entries with photographs.
Swiping the list down causes the scrolling to build momentum and
continue for a short while after the finger is lifted. This causes a super cool
animation of the arrow |
 | An entry example in view mode. You can add multiple pictures
and textual descriptions. There is also a prediction for your
location.
All photographs taken in the simulator result in the android icon. When
testing on a real phone, real photographs are taken and inserted instead. |
 | An entry example in edit mode. You can add/delete photos (via long press,
consistent with everything else in android) and change the text.
You can also add/delete contacts imported from the address book.
The text field automatically expands to accommodate multiple lines or
word-wrapped text. |
 | To delete a photo, user can hold down on the photo to trigger
the displayed context menu.

Image Added | To delete a photo, user can hold down on the photo to trigger
the displayed context menu.
|
 | The save button is accessible from the android context menu.
|
 | You can also hold down on any entry in the journal view to
trigger the context menu for sharing, viewing, editing, or
deleting the entry.
|
 | Pressing the menu button in view mode will open the menu
for editing, sharing, and deleting the entry.
|
 | This is the menu that shows up when you select "Share".
This is consistent with sharing functionality elsewhere in Android (for
example in the photo album).
All applications that can send messages of one form or another (facebook,
gmail, Goggles, etc) work with our app. |
