Week 12

This week was spent configuring the servlet and the database to respond to real queries from the phone. The phone application also had to switch over from using the placeholder data that was being displayed thus far, to parsing and displaying information from the web server.

Since querying the web server can take some time, it was also a challenge to ensure that the application is responsive at all times, even when waiting for a response from the remote server.

Although everything is configured to display real restaurant information, we don't have much of a restaurant database built yet. It is my hope that we can have a modest one built in a few weeks. In the meantime, I've inserted a few restaurants manually, just to ensure that the prototype is working.
