User Preferences

A good application allows the user to modify some of the software properties in order to match their needs and tastes. This is where preferences are used.

For our application, our preferences would be :


  1. User Name - A string with the users name(Needed if we were to use a database)
  2. Manually Re-Take Photo, the user can choose whether the application would re-take a photo automatically or do it manually. This is a checkbox and returns a boolean.
  3. Camera Timer, user can user the length of time the camera waits before taking a photo, can range from 2-5 seconds.
The New Boston offers tutorials on how to integrate user preferences with an Application:

The finished preferences are shown below:
