This week saw a bit of a pivot for me. Originally, my plan was to add music to the app and show that it was possible to run C code (call a function) from within the codebase.
First, I did the former. Indeed, I can play “Africa” by Toto with a WAV file when a user clicks the Play button. And, I can stop it when the user presses the Pause button. At this point, adding more music is fairly straightforward.
The pivot comes in from the second goal. Arushi was able to write a Vocoder in Matlab, and she found a link about how to run MatLab on Android. My network was really bad, and it took me 10 hours to download the Matlab software to my computer. I am hoping to investigate the possibility of using Matlab instead of C on Android using the suggestions at this link: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/417602-can-matlab-code-is-used-in-android-studio-for-application. This way, I can explain the progress during the demo and maybe allow Arushi an easier time in developing the Wavelet code.
Next week is the Demo, for which my subsystem should be close to done. The idea is to have each part done to some degree (C/Matlab code, UI, music playability), so that all that is left is to polish the parts and integrate it with the other subsystems. Hence, that is my goal for the next week (to make sure the subparts have a preliminary implementation).
