Late Update

     It's been a while since I've written a blog post, and since then, I've been working an additional job.

     I have officially taken over the production of CHRONI and have been trying to get the bugs all sorted. There was a bug that crashed the whole app and many of the features that were implemented before disappeared. I started a base from version 0.6.0 and worked from there trying to implement everything again. I finally have a working product and a pre-release was released on CHRONI's github page. It is now at version 0.8.1 and my next project is the fix the formatting of the aliquot table.
     I have been working on that table for I don't even know how long and I still can't figure it out. I'm sure it's some simple solution that I'm just not grasping, but I need to use ET Redux to fix it and I'm having problems with that. It's quite a nightmare. I was able to get Redux to work once, but I can't anymore and now I'm just comparing the xml file to my table in CHRONI, which doesn't work that well because it's the formatting from the xml I need to fix, not incorrect numbers. I'm mostly confused on the % sigma columns. I have found in the code where to fix everything, but I don't have the knowledge to fix it.
     I think I'm getting better with app development, but I'm still so lost. I haven't realized until quite recently. I need a big project to work from the ground up using a template like making CHRONI for iOS. There are so many things I'm just looking at and not really grasping the concept of. Hopefully when the rest of these bugs are fixed for the android app, I can learn much more with iOS.
