Hi. I want to make a quick and dirty android app for my own use that will allow me to take a picture with my phone camera, and then bring up a food log form (to be sent to my personal fitbit profile). On top of that I'd also like the app to correlate these pictures with my fitbit profile data for a kind of "daily glance" at food intake (likely just all these pictures sorted visually by day of the week w/ calorie info). The pictures can be saved locally on my phone and deleted after a certain memory threshold.
I am a competent programmer, but this will be my first Android app and first experience with OAuth. I have past experience with REST APIs and cURL in Python and Perl but I've pretty much forgotten all of it.
Can anyone help me get started with a list of development tools?
Heres what I imagine I'll need:
- IDE w/ Android simulation + debugging
- Android app framework for handling user input + displaying/arranging things on the screen
- Android camera library
- Android library for sending url requests (for OAuth + fitbit API) (note I don't care about storing different user credentials I'll probably just hardcode my profile)
P.S. the reason I want a picture in addition to logging the raw data is because I find it very annoying to have incomplete data, but I can't always estimate the calories. In these scenarios I think it would be cool to have a visual placeholder of the item.
P.P.S. if this app already exists, I'd love to know what it's called haha
