This is a simple app for taking down a user's home and work address, the days of their commute, and the times they go to work and go home. The times and workweek are entered via TimePicker dialogs with additional buttons. An IntentService runs in the background with setRepeating alarms that call per the user's set times, and there is a Broadcast Receiver that resumes the service upon device reboot. When an Alarm goes off, it asks the user if they'd like to check their commute. If the user taps on the notification, it runs a pre-formatted Google Maps search.

I'm an entry-level developer who is trying to improve himself and was hoping a code review can point out some inefficiencies or places where refactoring could be used. Code for the two classes I spent the most time in is below. If any editing improvements should be made for the benefit of reviews, please let me know and I'll clean up/clarify wherever it's requested.

Indentation

I hope your code is properly indented in your IDE. Right now it looks unreadable. So unreadable, in fact, that I can't review your code properly. But let's see what we can find.

Unneeded parentheses

file = new ObjectInputStream((new FileInputStream(new File(new File(getActivity().getApplicationContext().getFilesDir(),"")+File.separator+USER_INFO_FILE))));

Huh, what's that (( doing there?

file = new ObjectInputStream(
 (
  new FileInputStream(
   new File(
    new File(
     getActivity().getApplicationContext().getFilesDir(),""
    )+File.separator+USER_INFO_FILE
   )
  )
 )
);

One of the layers is doing absolutely nothing! Remove it.

Bugs

if (savedUserInfo.equals(null))

Haaaang on.

Nice bug you've got there. If it's NOT null, it works as intended. But if savedUserInfo IS null, then you've got null.equals(null), which is not true - it's NullPointerException. And an app crash.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Indentation- Yeah, I kept screwing up the copying and pasting of code into here from github (link here if it's useful to you: github.com/professorpanic/CommuteWatcher), the formatting is much more readable in my IDE. parenthesis-I'm counting the parentheses and it looks like they're closing something, though I admit this is ugly to try and parse. I color-coded what is (hopefully) closing what: i57.tinypic.com/209t7wn.png. Bugs- Oh, crap. you're right. I'm a dolt, I'll fix that when I get home. Thank you! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 11, 2015 at 1:04
  • \$\begingroup\$ @HarryTuttle I thought it didn't need more explanation, but the red parentheses are useless. Get rid of them. \$\endgroup\$

Performance: You should consider lazy loading by moving your findViewById calls to where you actually need them. The calls are very time consuming and delay displaying your Activity to the user.

Style: You should be consistent in declaring access modifiers. In your code you are sometimes declaring private and sometimes relying on the default access.

Also, by convention, constants should be public static, not private static. The point of private members is encapsulation, which is unnecessary, since the values never change.

And how come you are using Hungarian Notation for some of your variables and not others?

\$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ point 1. Sorry, I'm drawing a blank on how lazyloading these would be best. Where would it be most efficient for that to happen? I was under the impression that in onCreateView is where you need to make those assigning calls, when everything is being drawn to the user. point 2- you're right, that's something to be cleaned up. point 3- are you referring to the values that are mSomething? I just was operating under the impression that was something you assigned to simple values you'd want to get/set. I didn't set out for using Hungarian Notation. Never read up on it. Hooray, learning experience! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 11, 2015 at 0:51
  • \$\begingroup\$ Some people prefix members with m, local variables with l and parameters with p. Therefore it seems odd you are only doing so for some members and not for others. \$\endgroup\$
