Executive Summary
In current Mobile era, mobile computing and mobile applications play an important role in our daily life. mobile devices face the limited memory resources and low processing power of Mobile Terminals problems. For this reason, standard mobile application development procedure and deployment decisions are very important for developing applications for mobile devices. The widespread use of smartphones equipped with cameras, accelerometers and its 3G & 4G networks allows us to obtain precious data at a low cost. For mining large scale data from these small devices, efficient lightweight, robust and scalable algorithms, proper memory management techniques and capable design patterns are very important. To improve the application stability, reusability, maintainability as well as introduce software bugs free application, agile methodologies, architectural patterns, unit testing, standard automation testing procedure, standard documentation of the source code, various standard procedures of testing the whole application are also very important.
This report looks several different areas that need to be considered when developing mobile applications in the Android platform. The areas that are considered when when evaluating the development of mobile applications in the Android platform are: User friendliness;
The application is developed to work on Android operating system. Front end logic for the presentation layer is developed using Android Studio SDK. The source components in the project build includes different Java files for activities and utilities; XML files for manifest, layout and values; resource files for background images, icons and product images.
Mobile computing is important to Google, Apple, and Facebook, mainly because the widespread use of smartphones and other mobile platforms has increased tremendously. Pretty soon, it is believed that
Software Engineering for Mobile Application Development: Challenges and Research In the recent years we have seen rapid growth of applications of mobile devices popularly known as “APPS”. Recent surveys show that there are enormous numbers of mobile application developers. Although there is a growing trend of these mobile applications, very few make it to the top charts of the devices thereby pushing the application developers to provide with high quality, and useful applications. Software engineering comes in to picture here, thereby leading the development of the application through different life cycle phases for good quality output. This paper presents the different challenges faced by the developers such as (a) building good user interfaces(b) support for multiplatform (c) dealing with uncertainities. (d) change according to the environment. For each of the above stated challenges we provide the current trends and advances done, along with the challenges that are faced in developing the application and also the future risks and availabilities for developing the project.

Karen is the sponsor of a project that is developing a Smartphone application that allows customers to access the company 's Web site and pay their invoices. She is unhappy with the way the project has progressed, particularly in the form of communication and cooperation between the project team, and she is considering cancelling the project. The Vice President of the Project Management Office has convinced Karen to add Samantha, a more experienced project manager, to the team as an adviser.
Mobile and desktop operating systems are designed and developed for different purposes in different ways. The main differences between both lie in following areas:-
Abstract : Growth of android applications is Rapidly increases and which has a great impact on our life. In some company, office cell phones are provided to employee. Employee do lots of activities which are unknown to manager and it may affect in degrade the growth of company. "Employee Monitoring System using Android Smartphone" is an android application for log the data on the server automatically. This application is helpful for the managers to track their Employees office cell phone activities. This application is use to maintained transparency between manager and employee. It create and maintained logs of call and message, Browsing history, Data usage, Location. And generate report of employee on server. It also send alert message to manager 's phone if employee goes outside the campus. The Global Positioning System is used to trace location of employee. By using this system, the organisation can avoid the unnecessary activities done by the employee. The aim of this "Employee monitoring system using android smartphone" is, to monitor activities of their Employee 's office cell phone and also improve the organizational growth of
This paper provides an important software research issues related to development and future of application that run on mobile devices. This paper also includes current and future research work in the field of mobile apps like software development life cycle non-functional requirements i.e. Energy and Security.
The current Smartphone market has made it necessary to develop applications for several platforms. Cross-platform development approaches are one way of increasing asset reuse between platforms. Our
Everything in the arena of APP development is about to be changed. Mobile APP development Company and Android App Development would require to focus more on end-user experience and added security. Google which supports billions of apps recently announced some key guidelines on APP development. These changes will come into effect from 2018 and 2019-time period. Guidelines fundamentally aim to improve the security and performance of mobile applications.
In the first week study, I was given an assignment by the lecturer about mobile application. Nowadays, mobile technology has developed rapidly over the year. We can see this evolution of mobile technology from day to day. Besides, we also can see the improvement in mobile according to user requirement. I really believe, mobile is the important thing in life. This because, without mobile people will having difficult to communicate with each other. So in this assignment I will discuss about the mobile platform, web browser for mobile,
On such requirement of B2B apps is a stellar user experience which entails fast loading and minimal lag time. The efficiency with which the user can access information is what differentiates a user-friendly app from a non-user friendly one. Thus, it is important for Company X to focus on a high-end mobile app that solves customers’ needs on the spot with minimal or no delays. This is because such delays constitute to loss of business and may tarnish the reputation of the company. Another key requirement is the visual presentation of the app which revolves around the graphical user interface. It is important that the company cover all the aspects of the project and any changes that it may elicit in the course of software engineering (D. and K., 2012). The study covers objectives and additional methods that highlight the requirements of Company X in the development and creation of the B2B mobile application. The total of all these activities will involve the input of various functional areas will form the backbone of the study. Moreover, it is of fundamental importance to borrow from past case studies on software project management to understand the gravity of the process.
Mobile app development doesn 't just enhance sales but also creates new frontiers for eCommerce such as monetizing faster deliveries and other special logistics services, making it easier for global customers to shop and order in their native languages and changing how people browse and shop by optimizing searches through deep links that are embedded within the apps. Even regular retailers throughout the global community are now exploring the benefits of marketing B2B products, so eCommerce companies face performance pressures from constantly evolving business threats and customer buying behaviors that are often defined by loyalties to their mobile devices and favorite mobile
A mobile (or smartphone) app is a computer program designed to run on smartphones, tablets computers, and other mobile devices (Queensland, 2014). They offer a fast and convenient way for people to access information and as such it is more important than ever to understand how they are used to keep up with the habits of their users. They were originally offered for general productivity and information retrieval purposes (e.g. email applications, calendars, storing contacts, stock market information, weather information, etc.) However, public demand and the availability of developer tools quickly led them into other categories and areas such as mobile gaming, factory automation, GPS/location tracking, banking, order-tracking, ticket purchasing, and even medical record consolidating. The popularity of mobile apps has continued to rise, as their usage has become increasingly prevalent across mobile phone users. Mobile apps are normally available through application distribution platforms, such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Windows Phone Store (Queensland, 2014).
The world of phone applications is expanding at a rapid rate every day. Apps are now becoming more and more important in everyday life and they are also becoming more and more valuable. With new horizons being reached and new innovations being released it’s important for computing students to try and tap into the world of apps and mobile technology. Each D.I.M.E (Digital, Innovation, Management and Enterprise) group was tasked with coming up with an app idea as a group project.
