What I did today:
- I worked on bugs again. For a good portion of the morning, I was trying to figure out what I thought would be a simple bug: the color was off on a progress spinner. But when I got into the code, I couldn’t see how it was being changed to that color. After some digging, I found out that the app’s theme was being ignored at that particular place. And so after talking with the team lead, Mark, I found that the reason why the theme was being ignored was because it was referencing the wrong Context. So after switching to the correct context, it worked!
- I read more on Kotlin on the train ride to work. It seems like an awesome language to learn. I hope to be able to try it out with a demo app or API or something.
Highlights:
- Today was my first day volunteering at the “Family History Discovery Center”. It’s mandatory for interns (so I was voluntold :P) but I had fun teaching people about family history stuff and cool things to learn. I do this every Friday from now on.
