I've finished the snake management portion of the Android application. Snakes can now be created, viewed, edited, and removed. A great deal of time was spent learning some of the quirks of Android development (fun fact: every time you rotate the screen it destroys and recreates what you're viewing) so progress has been slower than I'd have liked. Luckily, the major functionality is done enough that the rest should be fairly straightforward. For the alpha release, which we're still hoping to have in a week or so, this will mean finishing habitats, feedings, sheddings, and cleanings. After that it'll be a lot of polishing and figuring out what important details we may have missed, along with getting the desktop application to sync with the Android app.
For anyone who doesn't care much about the details, let me summarize. I have a long island iced tea in my hand, a cat who thinks my foot is delicious, and five hours of free time to sit down and code today. I promise we'll get there soon.
