Medication Reminder (again)

[Markuus872]

I think I understood it now..

[Taifun]

@Markuus872

understood it now

Unfortunately not

@Taifun

reduce your expectations and simplify your project. You ran out of time.

Have only a daily medication reminder for 1 medicament and get that reminder running correctly instead of having an unfinished non working project in the end.

At this point can you show me the blocks? I really need this working.. at least this part.

[Taifun]

I'm not at my computer, I'm on mobile, so I can't provide blocks

@Taifun

As value you store a list of all data relevant to that alarm time, i e.

@Markuus872

Name, Description and Dosage

I still don't quite understand what you mean by that, I can wait until you are at your computer, don't worry!

[Taifun]

Do you know how to create a list and put 3 items inside? No? Then do the list tutorial

Imagnity.com List Tutorial, Mirrored - @Saj

(copied from imagnity.com, courtesy of @Saj) List Blocks On App Inventor by Sajal Dutta | app-inventor, tutorials | 102 comments List is a necessity in almost every app regardless of what programming language you use. This is the easiest way to create and manipulate a set of values/items/elements in an ordered fashion. Please go over the reference before we start. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a list, add new items to a list, display list items, replace an item in the list, re…

And if you got it, then store that list as value

@Markuus872

Name, Description and Dosage

The tag is your alarm time as you already have it in your latest screenshot

Taifun

[Markuus872]

and the value to store is the name, description and FormateDateTime instant, correct?

And if I store the values in the list, then I don't have to save them here, right?

[Taifun]

@Markuus872

and the value to store is the name, description and FormateDateTime instant, correct?

What is FormatDareTime instant? Isn't that your alarm time?

@Taifun

The tag is your alarm time as you already have it in your latest screenshot

Does it make sense to store the alarm time twice? As tag and again as one of the items in your value list? Didn't you say yourself earlier, what you want to store?

@Markuus872

Name, Description and Dosage

@Markuus872

And if I store the values in the list, then I don't have to save them here, right?

Yes, if you do it correctly
Up to now you have not been able to show us a screenshot of storing your list correctly

PS

@Taifun

You are still in the early stages of your project but the due date is 9 of July...

Let me again suggest you to reduce your expectations and simplify your project. You ran out of time.

Have only a daily medication reminder for 1 medicament and get that reminder running correctly instead of having an unfinished non working project in the end.

[Markuus872]

I hope now it's correct.

[Taifun]

During Initialization you can't store a list like that

[Taifun]

Now show us a screenshot of getting a list of all stored alarm times and display that list in the listpicker

Here is the concept again:

@Taifun

what about using your alarm time as tag and storing all data for a specific alarm time as value?

You then could also use the TinyDB.GetTags method to get a list of all stored alarm times to display those in the listview after reopening the app next time

Let me suggest you to clear your TinyDB to remove all previously stored data and start testing with an empty TinyDB

Taifun

[Markuus872]

If I understood correctly, do you want me to save a medication and they see what it saves on the listview?
There is a small problem though... I still haven't messed with a lot, can you help me complete it soo its functional?

[Taifun]

Read the concept again and find the answer there

[Markuus872]

I tried putting the "TinyDB getTags" but it didn't show anything on the listview

Here is an image of all the blocks I have in the "Add Medication" screen, maybe it's something wrong here?

[Taifun]

@Markuus872

TinyDB getTags

I can't see you using that method anywhere?

@Markuus872

"TinyDB getTags" but it didn't show anything on the listview

Where is

If you cleared all your tags first, there won't be any tags to list

[Markuus872]

Because the listview is in another screen

[Taifun]

@Markuus872

@Markuus872

the listview is in another screen

What about showing us a screenshot of your relevant blocks of that screen then?

Taifun

[Markuus872]

Here are the blocks on the other screen

[Taifun]

I already have very low expectations of your abilities, but you regularly manage to undercut them.

@SteveJG gave you the solution, you ignored it and were not able to understand, that it is the solution.
