Simon Schranz contributed to the SwEnt-Group8/Street-work-app repository, focusing on building robust Android features such as a Figma-aligned profile UI, friend management flows, and park filtering interfaces. He applied the MVVM architecture with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose to ensure scalable, testable UI components and reliable data-driven flows. Simon enhanced localization by integrating strings.xml resources and improved maintainability through systematic code formatting, refactoring, and expanded test coverage. His work addressed user experience challenges, stabilized event handling, and streamlined dialog interactions, resulting in a more maintainable codebase and smoother user interactions across authentication, filtering, and friend management features.

December 2024 (2024-12) – Street-work-app (SwEnt-Group8): Delivered focused user experience improvements, robust UI flows, and stronger test coverage with careful attention to maintainability and performance. The work emphasized friend management UX, data-driven UI filtering, and reliability of MVVM-driven data flows, aligning with business goals of user retention, feature parity, and faster iteration. Key features delivered: - Friend Deletion UI Flow: complete end-to-end UX including friend menu, confirmation dialogs, dismissal behavior, and MVVM wiring; visuals adjusted for delete action; centralized strings for localization. - Strings/resources integration: consolidated friend deletion strings and dialog links into strings.xml; improved formatting and localization readiness. - Park Filtering UI with MVVM: added park filter UI, topAppBar action, and MVVM-backed event fetch flow; updated event density categories to numeric ranges for clarity. Major bugs fixed: - MVVM EventList call stabilization: refined call sequence to stabilize event list fetches. - Core Filtering logic fixes: implemented basic filtering logic, resolved threshold overlaps, ensured parks are prepared before event calls, and removed dead features. - UI stability and input handling: improved confirmation dialog text layout and prevented icon blinking; refined dialog button handling and ButtonType usage. Quality and maintenance: - Expanded test coverage: UI tests for friend deletion components and dialogs; tests for settings; unit tests for FilterSettings and ParkFilter APIs; UI test tagging enhancements. - Code hygiene: ktfmt formatting across codebase; internal logs consolidation; removal of unused imports; documentation clarifications (e.g., why Theme.kt is not used). Impact and business value: - Improved user experience and reliability for friend management, reducing user effort and potential support queries. - More robust park filtering with reliable MVVM data flows, contributing to better user decisions and engagement. - Higher quality codebase with reduced regression risk and faster future iterations due to formatting, logging, and documentation improvements. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kotlin, Android MVVM, strings.xml localization, UI and unit testing, ktfmt formatting, logging, and systematic refactoring.
