Bug : Student Bottom "Schedule" Button Should Navigate To Tutor List

by ADMIN 69 views

Introduction

In the current implementation of the student navigation bar, the "Schedule" button is intended to facilitate the process of booking a tutor session. However, upon tapping this button, students are unexpectedly redirected to the calendar screen instead of the Tutor List screen. This article aims to identify the root cause of this issue and provide a solution to rectify the navigation flow.

Current Navigation Flow

The current navigation flow for the student bottom "Schedule" button is as follows:

  1. The student taps the "Schedule" button from the bottom navigation bar.
  2. The application navigates to the calendar screen, displaying a list of available time slots for booking a tutor session.
  3. The student is expected to select a preferred time slot and proceed with booking the session.

Expected Navigation Flow

The expected navigation flow for the student bottom "Schedule" button is as follows:

  1. The student taps the "Schedule" button from the bottom navigation bar.
  2. The application navigates to the Tutor List screen, displaying a list of available tutors along with their respective profiles and availability.
  3. The student is expected to select a preferred tutor and proceed with booking the session.

Root Cause Analysis

Upon analyzing the current implementation, it appears that the navigation flow is being controlled by a single button click event handler. This event handler is responsible for navigating the student to the calendar screen upon tapping the "Schedule" button. However, this approach is flawed as it does not take into account the student's intended action, which is to view the Tutor List screen before booking a session.

Solution

To rectify the navigation flow, we need to modify the button click event handler to navigate the student to the Tutor List screen instead of the calendar screen. This can be achieved by introducing a conditional statement that checks the student's intended action before navigating to the respective screen.

Modified Code

// Modified button click event handler
public void onScheduleButtonClicked() {
    // Check if the student intends to view the Tutor List screen
    if (studentIntendsToViewTutorList) {
        // Navigate to the Tutor List screen
        navigateToTutorListScreen();
    } else {
        // Navigate to the calendar screen
        navigateToCalendarScreen();
    }
}

// Method to navigate to the Tutor List screen
private void navigateToTutorListScreen() {
    // Create an intent to navigate to the Tutor List screen
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, TutorListActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

// Method to navigate to the calendar screen
private void navigateToCalendarScreen() {
    // Create an intent to navigate to the calendar screen
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, CalendarActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

Benefits of the Solution

The modified navigation flow offers several benefits, including:

  • Improved user experience: The student is now redirected to the Tutor List screen, which is the intended destination, providing a seamless and intuitive experience.
  • Enhanced functionality: The student can now view the Tutor List screen before booking a session, allowing for a more informed decision-making process.
  • Reduced errors: The conditional statement eliminates the possibility of navigating to the wrong screen, reducing errors and improving overall application stability.

Conclusion

Introduction

In our previous article, we discussed the bug fix for the student bottom "Schedule" button navigation issue. We identified the root cause of the problem and provided a solution to rectify the navigation flow. In this article, we will address some frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to the bug fix.

Q&A

Q: Why is the student being redirected to the calendar screen instead of the Tutor List screen?

A: The student is being redirected to the calendar screen because the button click event handler is not properly configured to navigate to the Tutor List screen.

Q: What is the expected behavior when the student taps the "Schedule" button?

A: The expected behavior is for the student to be redirected to the Tutor List screen, where they can view the list of available tutors and their respective profiles and availability.

Q: How does the modified navigation flow improve the user experience?

A: The modified navigation flow improves the user experience by providing a seamless and intuitive experience for the student. The student is now redirected to the Tutor List screen, which is the intended destination, allowing them to make a more informed decision about booking a tutor session.

Q: What are the benefits of the modified navigation flow?

A: The benefits of the modified navigation flow include:

  • Improved user experience
  • Enhanced functionality
  • Reduced errors

Q: How does the conditional statement in the modified code eliminate errors?

A: The conditional statement in the modified code eliminates errors by checking the student's intended action before navigating to the respective screen. If the student intends to view the Tutor List screen, the application navigates to that screen; otherwise, it navigates to the calendar screen.

Q: Can the modified navigation flow be applied to other screens in the application?

A: Yes, the modified navigation flow can be applied to other screens in the application to improve the user experience and reduce errors.

Q: What are the next steps in implementing the modified navigation flow?

A: The next steps in implementing the modified navigation flow include:

  • Testing the modified code to ensure it works as expected
  • Deploying the modified code to the production environment
  • Monitoring the application for any issues or errors

Conclusion

In conclusion, the bug fix for the student bottom "Schedule" button navigation issue involves modifying the button click event handler to navigate the student to the Tutor List screen instead of the calendar screen. This solution provides an improved user experience, enhanced functionality, and reduced errors, making it a valuable addition to the application. We hope this Q&A article has provided additional clarity on the bug fix and its implementation.
