Mobile botanical key on the Windows Phone platform

Za potrebe ovog rada bilo je potrebno razviti mobilnu aplikaciju za Windows Phone mobilnu platformu koja će svojim korisnicima omogućiti identifikaciju porodice biljke odabirom promatranih svojstava, odnosno po njenom botaničkom ključu. Također potrebno je bilo pružiti mogućnost usporedbe dviju porodica po njihovim sličnostima/razlikama te generirati opis za željenu porodicu. Model rješenja oblika je klijent - poslužitelj. Nad gotovim rješenjem web servisa, odnosno poslužitelja, oblikovano je vlastito rješenje klijenta. Aplikacija komunicira sa gotovim WCF web servisom preko HTTP upita te se u odgovorima od servisa primaju JSON zapisi koji se obrađuju i pohranjuju lokalno u za to pripremljene klase. Od primljenih podataka formatirano se prikazuju oni koji su korisniku relevantni te se od njega očekuje unos koji se bilježi i na temelju tog unosa se konstruiraju novi upiti servisu.For the purposes of this study, it was necessary to develop a mobile application for Windows Phone mobile platform that will enable its users to identify the plant family by selecting the observed properties of plants, which is to say, by its botanical key. Also it was necessary to provide the user with the ability to compare two families according to their similarities/differences and generate a description of the desired family. Solution is modeled in a client-server approach. With web service already implemented it was necessary to develop the client side. The application communicates with the WCF web service via HTTP requests, responses of the service are received as JSON files that are processed and stored locally in classes prepared for this purpose. Relevant data is formatted and displayed to the user. Then the user entry is recorded after which new requests are constructed and sent to the service based on this user entry
