INTRODUCTION
The ubiquity of wireless networking and the trend toward component miniaturization have led to
the evolution of cell phones from mere telephony devices to powerful mobile computing platforms
that provide the basis for a host of other applications. Today's mobile phones are typically equipped
with devices such as GPS sensors [A], Wi-Fi [B] and 3G wireless radios [C] capable streaming
high bandwidth Internet content, touch-screen-based user interfaces [D], still and video cameras,
Bluetooth transceivers [E], and accelerometers [F].
Similar to a computer, a mobile operating system provides the primary execution environment for
applications on the phone. Analogous to programs on a PC, apps can be downloaded and installed
on mobile phones. Because of the growing general purpose computing capabilities of mobile
devices, combined with their increasing popularity and adoption rate, it is expected that hand-held
mobile phones will become the next PC. These technology trends have enabled innovative,
exciting and compelling mobile applications to become widely available, from gaming to
multimedia to social networking. Hand-in-hand with the growth of the raw computing power of
mobile phones, various middleware/OS platforms have evolved that allow developers to take
advantage of the computing resources to create feature-rich applications that provide compelling
user interfaces and functionality. A wide selection of proprietary and open-source mobile OS
platforms exist, the most prominent ones being: Apple's iOS, Google's Android, Symbian from
Symbian Foundation, RIM Blackberry OS, and Microsoft's Windows Mobile.
This report focuses on mobile app development for Google’s Android OS, a hugely popular open-
source platform based on the Linux-kernel [G] and Java 2 development environment [G].

1.1. PROBLEM SUMMARY
This is an Android Application based on the Location and GPS. In this Application user can
choose and set their Location and its range to perform the user specified Events and Tasks.
And also user can set these all action tasks and events by the time and also for the less failure
application is track your time to enter and leave time of your location range and in failure its
automatic switch on time.
1.2. AIM & OBJECTIVES :
Objective of this application is simply to make our life style automatic Means our cell phone
is detect the place and give response by the Place means if you are in College then cell phone
is automatic silent And after Finish College the phone is automatic in general mode as
predefine Task.
1.3. PROBLEM SPECIFICATIONS:
Overall we have to define the main problem what is that at above summery but let’s
understand some extra talk and knowledge of the project.
So mainly we live express life now a day all of us have no more time expand for long time
duration activities. So basic idea of this application or project is that we have to maintain
our time and save it as much as possible.
So now a day we all use smart phones and expand their use by lots of applications. But still
some of our work that we have to do in smart phone is time consumption and not auto.
Now think about your self ok I told my schedule on morning 8:00 AM I wake up and send
the good morning messages by WhatsApp [H] . so what I have to do daily lock out phone
start the internet or Wi-Fi then I have to send the messages.
Now if daily at 8:00 AM my Wi-Fi is auto start then I have directly send the message to the
friends. Or if I have put some download and start it when I have reached at home in Wi-Fi
area then this app will detect your place and auto start the Wi-Fi and download also.
I. Auto started applications. III. Auto profile changer.
II. Auto app manager. IV. Pre scheduler.

1.4. LITERATURE REVIEWS
1.4.1. Description of Technology Used
 GPS device is used to track the location of the user. As a GPS device the smart phone
is used in this application.
 Using the device, current location is traced and can be utilized for further
requirements.
 The user interface is designed in XML.
 User can easily use this application and need the internet connection
4
1.4.2. Major Constituents of system are
 GPS tracking device: This is provided by the user’s smart phone.
 User Interface: The UI determines that how the user will interact with the application
and access the required functionality.
1.4.3. Requirements
 Efficiency requirement:
Here the application is developed on the android platform, thus the application data and
processes are handled implicitly by the android virtual OS. Also if the user is required
to clear the app data, the user can explicitly clear the cache memory and increase the
application speed.
 Reliability requirement:
If in case if the co-ordinate input by the user are not proper it will not match the data
(coordinates) fetched from the map and thus there are chances of the failure to occur.
In other case if the internet connection in the user mobile device is running at low speed
it is possible that the map will not be loaded completely and the required alert may not
be generated.
 Usability requirements:
The application is user friendly as the user can easily operate the application. One click
access to every function is provided in the application.
 Other requirements:

5
Sufficient bandwidth (internet connection) is required on the device to download
images. Memory of device will be used to store the application, data and for backup.
RAM and a minimum SDK version of 12 will be required on the device. The security
will be provided by the android virtual OS and the server.
Minimum android version required: 2.3.
1.5. TOOLS & TECHNOLOGY

2.1 PROJECT PLANNING AND SCHEDULING
2.1.1 Project Development Approach
To solve actual problems in industry settings, software engineer or a team of engineers must
incorporate a development strategy that encompasses the process, methods and tools layers
and generic phases. This strategy is often referred to as process model or a software
engineering paradigm. A process model for software engineering is chosen based on the
nature of the project and application. The methods and tools to be used, and the controls and
deliverables that is required.
 The Spiral Model:
Fig. 2.1: The Spiral Process Model

9
The Spiral model [J] combines elements of the linear sequential model (applied repetitively)
with the iterative philosophy of prototyping. Referring to Figure above, the Spiral model
applies linear sequences in a staggered fashion as calendar time progresses. Each linear
sequence produces a deliverable “Spiral” of the software.
For example, Anti-virus software developed using the Spiral paradigm might deliver basic
scanning, deleting, and editing file functions are use generally. But in to the market day by
day many kinds of the virus is available and it’s also updated day by day so we have to make
system strong if we want to safe our computer that’s why we also update our Antivirus
definition and all the steps give in to the spiral model.
2.1.2 Project Plan
Planning before any activity is very much important. And if it is planned nicely, then success
is guaranteed.
Project Management System has six major modules of Admin, Manage Application, Test
Management, Process Management, Manage Comment, Reports. We analyzed the overall
complexity of each of these modules and it was found that the project will required
approximately 6 months completing, so we planned accordingly.
We decided to follow the SDLC [K] i.e. Software Development Life Cycle while planning
various phases of our project. This method consists of following activities:
1. Determination of system requirements
2. System Analysis
3. Design of system
4. Development of software
5. System Testing
6. Implementation and Evaluation

10
We followed the OOAD (Object Oriented Analysis and Design) [K] for the SDLC and used
the UML (Unified Modeling Language) [K] for analysis and design purpose of the system.
We have planned our project into following ways:
 During first two month of our project, we have study the various problems.
 During third month of our project, we have start to Analysis of problem.
 During four and fifth month, we have start Designing and implementation of our project.
2.1.3 Schedule Representation
When creating a software project schedule, the planner begins with a set of tasks. If
automated tools are used, the work breakdown is input as a task network or task outline.
Effort, duration, and start date are then input for each task. In addition, tasks may be assigned
to specific individuals.
As a consequence of this input, a timeline chart, also called a Gantt chart [K] is generating.
A Timeline Chart can be developed for the entire project. Timeline Charts depict a part of a
software project schedule.
All project tasks are listed in the left-hand column. The horizontal bars indicate the duration
of each task. When multiple bars occur at the same time on the calendar, task concurrency is
implied. The diamonds indicate milestones, which indicate the place where our project reach.
Once the information necessary for the generation of a timeline chart has been input, the
majority of software project scheduling tools produce project tables a tabular listing of all
project task, their planned and actual start and end table dates and variety of related
information, enable the project manager to track progress.

2.2 RISK MANAGEMENT
2.2.1 Risk Identification
Time estimation risk and technology risk are challengeable for our application. Business rule
engine will developed many ways like using windows workflow foundation, Xml, Database
etc so how we can identify which will be more preferable for our application and which will
give best result compare to all technology and also give best outcomes.
If we select any one technology for our application and go through it that time any challenge
will come so how we can switch over new technologies and learn about new technology thus
it will very time consuming.
2.2.2 Risk Analysis and Planning
Table 2.1 : Probability And Effects Of Risks
Risks Probability Effects
Location Getting Very high Serious
GPS Running Moderate Medium
Network of Internet Very low Serious
Battery Life Very low Serious

13
2.3 ESTIMATION
The single most important task of a project: setting realistic expectations.
Unrealistic expectations based on inaccurate estimates are the single largest cause of software
failure.
2.3.1 Effort Estimation
Each company determines the output it expects from its team members. Let us call the
average output of a team member per man-hour as the unit output. Assume that one has to
deliver an end-to-end login module's functionality for an application. The time spent on the
login functionality should include the corresponding time required for gathering the
requirements, doing a requirement analysis, architecture inputs, form design, object/class
design, implementing the business rules, data validation and storage, framework (i.e., code
for login module's constants, enumerations, utilities), testing, debugging, deployment up to
user acceptance [L], etc.
Now, the estimator has to figure out how many man-hours it would take to complete the
login module, keeping all these factors in mind. The sequence of work and dependencies
should be considered as they do cause delays in completion. For example, form design should
be done first (all the way up to acceptance by the customer), then object design (up to
acceptance by the architect), followed by coding (for business rules, calculations, and data
validations), internal testing, and user acceptance testing. A wise estimator would always
take support from other people to understand the scope of work to do a given task.

14
2.4 USER CHARACTERISTICS
Software Designers: These are the most obvious users. They will use the system as a means
of laying out the design of an as yet unimplemented system. In our case this users can be
specified as our team member only.
Software Developers: These are the people that take the model generated by the designers
and implement it in code. They may also use the system to identify the design of an existing
system in order to maintain it.
The End User (students/Teachers/Professionals):
 Students- they are use our application for their personal profile settings use and work
regarding the personalization.
 Teachers- they are use this application for their own use and for their professional use.
 Professional-they are use this application for advanced auto system and make them free to
set all work time by time.

2.7 ARCHITECTURE
2.7.1 Android Platform Architecture
Android is an open-source software platform developed by Google, for mobile app
development on devices powered by the Android OS. It is a complete software stack that
provides all the middleware needed to run end-user applications on mobile devices such as:
device drivers, OS, core libraries, an optimized virtual machine, Java Native Interface (JNI),
and a complete Java development environment. This section provides a detailed introduction
to the Android framework and describes the platform architecture, execution model, and key
concepts pertinent to the design of the Place Me app, which are more generally applicable to
other apps as well. As shown in the figure below, the Android software stack is a tiered
architecture that consists of 5 principle layers [P].
Fig.2.3: Android Architecure
 Kernel
Android is built upon Linux 2.6 kernel which serves as the hardware abstraction layer.
Linux is used since it provides proven and robust, low-level system infrastructure
components such as memory and process management, security, network stack and
hardware driver model. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can thus bring-up
Linux on their system and have the drivers running before loading the other
components of the stack [P].

18
 Libraries
On top of the kernel layer are the native libraries written in C and C++, which provide
most of the real power of the Android platform. The surface manager is responsible for
composing, coordinating and rendering surfaces on the screen from windows owned
by different applications, running in different processes in tandem, and ensuring the
pixels show up correctly on the screen. OpenGL/ES and SGL are the core 3-D and 2-
D graphics libraries respectively. The 3-D graphics can be accelerated in hardware if a
3-D chip is present. Most of the applications commonly use 2-D graphics; however,
the platform allows combining 2-D and 3-D graphics as well. The media framework
provides all of the audio and video codecs responsible for delivering a rich media
experience. FreeType is used for managing and rendering fonts on the screen. The
open-source SQLite relational database management system is used for most of the
core data storage on Android. It allows creating in-memory databases for very efficient
data storage and retrieval. WebKit is an open-source browser engine (also used in
Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari browsers) for optimized rendering on small
screens in mobile devices [Q].
 Android Runtime
On the same level as the libraries discussed above is the Android runtime, which is
designed for running Java programs in resource constrained, embedded environments
with limited computational power, battery life, and memory. One of the main
components of the Android Runtime is the Dalvik virtual machine. The Dalvik VM is
an optimized byte-code interpreter for efficient byte code execution on small-scale
processors used in mobile devices. The Java class and JAR files are translated into
“.dex” files at build time, for execution on the Dalvik VM. The efficiency of Dalvik
makes it possible to run each application as a separate process in its own instance of
the Dalvik VM. Among other benefits, this simplifies memory management and
improves platform stability. For example, if one application crashes it does not affect
other applications as they are running in separate processes each in its own instance of
the Dalvik VM. The Core Libraries component provides commonly used collection
classes, input-output libraries, utilities, and tools written in Java [Q], [R].
 Application Framework
This layer consists of a set of tools and APIs written in the Java programming language
which are used by the application developers. Here we discuss some of the main
components of the application framework. The activity manager is responsible for
application life cycle management and maintains a common back-stack for providing
smooth navigation between apps running in different processes. The package manager
tracks and manages the location and capabilities of applications installed on the phone,
including those provided with the phone as well as those downloaded by the user. The
window manager is a Java implementation that abstracts lower level services provided
by the surface manager for managing windows. The telephony manager provides the
core Java APIs used for implementing the phone service. Content providers are a

19
common interface for sharing data between different applications. For example, the
contacts data stored in the Contacts application can be accessed by any application that
needs to use it by means of content providers. The resource manager stores non-code
related artifacts of the application such as localized strings, bitmaps, or external
resources such as images, video or audio files. Finally, the view system implements the
building blocks of user-interfaces, provides APIs for drawing layouts and UI elements,
and handles event-dispatching [Q].
 Applications
The top-most layer in the stack is the Applications layer. All applications are written in
Java and used the same set of APIs provided by the Application Framework. This
included applications that are shipped with the phone such as Home, Dialer, Contacts,
Browser, etc. as well as those developed by the programmers [Q].

36
3.1 ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATIONS
3.1.1 Development Environment
We used Google Code, a web-based application, for project hosting and SVN version control
[X]. The integrated issue tracker was used for tracking and managing feature requests and
bugs during the development process. The source code for Self Tacit Zone is available under
the terms of the GNU v3 public license at: http://code.google.com/p/geo-reminder/.
Our primary development platform consisted of the following software and hardware
configuration:
 Android Studio: The Android Studio by intellJ provides a set of integrated development
and testing tools including core Android libraries, a built in gradle-support, emulator,
debugger, logger, and device drivers to allow running applications on an Android phone.
 Google Map V2 API Key : We used the Google MAP V2 API add-on libraries for
implementing some of features in Self Tacit Zone such as geo-coding, mapping etc. and
also use API Key from Google Developer Console [M].
 Eclipse Plug-ins: The Eclipse IDE v3.4.2 was used with the Android Development (ADT)
and Subversion plug-ins. The ADT plug-in allows developing and running apps from
within the Eclipse IDE and provides access to various features of the Android SDK. The
Subversion plug-in was used for working with the SVN repository from within Eclipse
IDE.
 PC: Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit, Java Development Kit v1.6.0, 4 GB RAM,Intel[R]
Core[TM] i3-3227 CPU 1.90 GHz
 Android Smart Phone: Motorola Moto G2 [N] with 5.0.2(Lollipop) [O] Android OS.

37
3.1.2 Anatomy of an Android App
This section briefly discusses the basic components of an Android app and defines the key
concepts and vocabulary needed to understand the implementation of Self Tacit Zone app.
 View
Views are the fundamental building blocks for creating user-interfaces. A View
typically consists of the content visible to the user on the screen such as a button, text
field, etc. It is the point of user interaction and handles UI events such as a button press.
Views are grouped into a hierarchical structure to form different layout schemes such
as a lists, tables, etc which organize the Views into specific pattern for rendering [Q].
Layouts and Views are typically specified in XML files.
 Activity
An Activity is essentially a piece of user-interface that consists of a set of related tasks
a user can do in one screen. For example, a in this app they have many activities like :
 SplashActivity that shows all Splash Screen on starting app
 MainActivity that shows an activities of main page
 Intents
Intents are the fundamental message passing constructs in Android which allow
communication of data and action between and among different system components
such as: Applications, Activities, Services, etc. For example, when a new Profile is
ceived, Intents are fired from the mail listener service to update the mail list screen to
show the newly received messages.
Apps can also register to receive specific kinds of Intents (generated internally or
externally) in order to wake up and execute code when the appropriate Intent is
received. For example, say the user wants to pick a photo to attach to a mail message.
An Intent is fired that looks for the best available source of photos. It may determine
that the photo gallery is the best match and use it. If later, a better source of photos is
added, such as an online web album on Flickr or Picasa, the photo gallery is replaced
by the web album as the preferred source. This late binding between action and action
handler allows components to be re-used or replaced at run-time. Any task triggered by
an Intent is therefore an opportunity to replace or re-use a component [Q].
 Services
Services are background processes launched from Activities that typically perform
long-running tasks and have no user interface. [Q].
 Android Manifest :
AndroidManifest.xml file is necessary for all android applications and must have this

38
name in its root directory. In the manifest you can find essential information about the
application for the Android system, information that the system must have before it can
run any of the application's code. Here is what you can find in the Android manifest:
 The name of the Java package for the application. The package name serves as
a unique identifier for the application.
 The description of the components of the application : the activities, services,
broadcast receivers, and content providers that the application is composed of
and under what conditions they can be launched .
 The processes that will host application components.
 The permissions the application must have in order to access protected parts of
the API and interact with other applications.
 The permissions that others are required to have in order to interact with the
application's components.
 The list of the Instrumentation classes that provide profiling and other
information as the application is running. These declarations are present in the
manifest only while the application is being developed and tested; they're
removed before the application is published.
 The minimum level of the Android API that the application requires.
 The list of the libraries that the application must be linked against.
3.1.3 Common Issues
Here we briefly discuss our solutions to some of the most frequently encountered problems
in the context of developing Self Tacit Zone.
 SQL memory leaks: One of the most commonly encountered errors was SQL memory
leak which would usually result in crashing the application. Typically these would occur if
references to SQL databases are not properly opened or closed when transitioning between
Activities. In order to properly manage database references, our solution was to handle
them as part of the Activity life cycle:
 close all open references in the onPause() or onDestroy() callback methods which
are executed before the Activity is paused or destroyed
 open new references when the Activity is resumed or re-initialized in the
onResume() or onCreate() methods respectively.
 Null-pointer errors: Null-pointer exceptions usually occur when null in used in cases
where an object is expected. The built-in debugger was used extensively to step through
the code and root-cause these types of errors in PlaceMe. For example, in the parsing of
the JSON search results, field values can sometimes be non-existent. Our solution was to
modify the JSONParser class to first check for the existence of the specified JSON object
or field before attempting to read it. Another instance was processing of required user
inputs when new reminders are created. To prevent null-pointer exceptions, we used
defaults to initialize required fields such as “alert type” or “range”. This also circumvented
the need to create annoying prompts to force the user to enter a value.

39
 Abstract data typing: On many occasions, we needed to pass data which contained more
than a single primitive type, such as for example, GPS coordinates consisting of latitude
and longitude pairs, database row entries consisting of several column fields, and search
results consisting of several attributes. Our initial approach was to pass this data in as
function arguments. However, this resulted in the creation of several overloaded functions,
one for each possible subset of data that needed to be passed in, unnecessarily bloating the
code. To handle these cases, we created abstract data types for aggregating data and
associated operations into a Java objects.

3.3 TESTING
3.3.1 Testing Plan
An Application project test plan is a document that describes the objectives, scope, approach,
and focus of a Application testing effort. The process of preparing a test plan is a useful way
to think through the efforts needed to validate the acceptability of Application. The
completed document will help people outside the test group understand the 'why' and 'how'
of product validation.
The purpose of Test Plan is to serve as the Test Approach for the “Self Tacit Zone”. The
Test Plan aims:
 To define over all scope of the testing.
 To identify the target test items.
 To define the different testing approaches that will be followed during the testing
phase.
 To identify the different deliverables of the testing.
 To detail the activities, dependencies and effort required to conduct the Testing.
 To define various criteria needed to conduct the test.
 Scope
All the testing will be done according to the program specifications and requirement
study document. Each of the requirements, mentioned in the Requirement analysis will
be tested by unit testing, which also indirectly will do the requirements validation. We
will be carrying out Unit Testing, Integration testing, and System Testing . All the
testing will be manual and no automated testing tool will be used.
 Intended Audience
Project Manager, Developer, Tester
3.3.2 Testing Strategy
Testing strategy is a general approach to the testing process rather than a method of devising
particular system or components tests. Different testing strategies may be adopted depending
on the type of system to be tested and the development process used. So considering

56
functional oriented nature of our website we will adopt the Top Down strategy for testing.
 Top Down Testing
The higher levels of our system we will check before testing its detailed components.
The program will be represented as a single abstracted component with sub-
components represented by stubs.
So we will develop some basic stubs with having same interface as the components but
with very less functionally. After the top- level components have been tested, its sub-
components will be implemented and tested in the same way. We will carry this process
recursively until the bottom level is implemented.
 Reasons For Choosing Strategies:
 Unnoticed design errors may be detected at early stages in the testing process. As
these errors are usually structural errors, early error detection means that
extensive re-design and reimplementation may be avoided.
 Another advantage is that a limited, working system will be available at an early
stage.
3.3.3 Testing Methods
 Introduction
The focus of our test strategy was primarily functional and end-to-end testing due to
the limited development time frame, novelty of the platform and the sheer variety and
number of components involved. The Android SDK provides a set of integrated
development and testing tools that include a built in emulator, debugger, logger, and
device drivers that allow running applications on an Android phone. The emulator was
used extensively in the initial development and testing of Self Tacit Zone.
 Testing User Interfaces :
User interfaces in Android are typically specified as XML layout files consisting of
parameterized View objects instantiated at run-time. Similar to HTML tags, the
names of XML elements and attributes correspond to that of View classes and
instance variables in the Android framework.
Most of the design and testing of UIs in Self Tacit Zone was done using the
DroidDraw tool, a 3rd party view editor that runs as a standalone Java executable [T].
It allows creating views graphically and generates the underlying XML code. Rather
than use the tool for creating views, we used the tool more for validation of our XML
layouts. It allowed quickly tweaking View objects and parameters in XML and

57
observing the resultant output, ideal for iterative code development. In addition, since
the View objects are instantiated at run-time, the Android emulator itself allows hot-
swapping the XML layout files without re-installing and re-running the entire
application, provided the underlying Java code is not changed. On occasions, this
method was used for testing small changes in UI layout.
 Database Testing :
Self Tacit Zone uses SQL databases for managing reminders and bookmarks. In order
to test the basic Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) operations on these databases
we used the built-in Android Debug Bridge (ADB) tool [U] which is part of the Android
Studio. The ADB tool is client-server program that allows communicating with the
emulator or device over TCP network ports via a client-side shell. This makes it
possible to examine state of the database from a remote shell using the sqlite3 command
line tool and execute SQL commands [V].
 Stress Testing
The Android platform provides a built-in Monkey tool [W] which runs on the
emulator or device and allows sending pseudo-random sequences of events to the
application via the ADB shell. We used this tool for stress testing app by sending
1000 sequences of random events to it which include button presses, random data
entries, scrolling, screen transitions, navigation between Activities, etc. The figure
below shows a screenshot of a partial command line execution of the Monkey tool
on Self Tacit Zone.
Fig. 3.16: Using Monkey tool to generate pseudo-random events
We used the Monkey tool to stress test app on both the emulator and an actual phone.
We found no unexpected application crashes, unhandled exceptions or “application
not responding” errors. All operations were successfully completed including
persisting reminders and bookmarks to the database.
 Simulating Mobility
Since Self Tacit Zone is a location-based application, the ability to simulate mobility

58
is central to testing most of its core features. The Android SDK provides Dalvik
Debug Monitor Server (DDMS) tools [V] which connect to the ADB service
described above and provides a communication bridge between the Android Studio
IDE and the emulator or phone. As shown in the figure below, the DDMS Perspective
in Eclipse provides Location Controls which allow sending location coordinates to
the emulator manually, or playback/stream the GPS route information at varying
speeds using GPX or KML file [V].
Fig. 3.17 : DDMS location controls
 Unit Testing
We independently unit tested and validated the supporting classes in
com.kpzz.selftacitzone.lib package, which are designed to provide re-usable
functionality used across different features such as Geo fence the location
(GeofenceUtils)
 Field Testing
Self Tacit Zone was field tested on, Moto G2 , an Android powered mobile phone
with Android 5.0.2 OS. Using the app on an actual handset in real life scenarios
revealed some interesting insights which would have been otherwise difficult to
detect in a simulated environment. For example, initially we used meters, instead of
miles to specify the radius of the Profile zone. During actual usage, we found that
Profile would not trigger when they were supposed to. At first this appeared strange,
since a thorough re-testing of the tracking algorithm in the profile service did not
reveal any issues. We realized later the reason the profile alerts were not triggering
was because the profile zones were never really being entered or exited. Some of the
issues involved were:
meters is too fine grained for defining reminder zones. This led us to use miles
instead, and set the default reminder radius to a quarter mile, in order to compensate
for the crudeness inherent in geofencing. According to Hartnett’s article [30], the
Google Geo-fence can be off by 509 feet on average or 155.14 meters. Moreover,
miles is a more natural unit of measurement for this purpose as most Americans tend
to think of distances in miles rather than meters.

59
3.4 PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS
In this section we briefly discuss some of the key performance enhancements and feature
improvements made in the course of developing and testing the Self Tacit Zone application.
3.4.1 Real-Time Location Updates :
During real-world testing and evaluation of Self Tacit Zone app on an actual Android
phone, we identified a performance issue in the implementation of Search location,
where if the user is mobile (ex: driving or on the bus) while using the feature, the
Activity would continually attempt to update the user’s location displayed and they not
retrieve actual location . The crux of the problem was to update and display the user’s
current location in timely manner while minimizing continual location updates that
cause the app to crash.
3.4.2 Network I/O & Memory Usage
network queries to fetch the URLs to Google Map directions. To minimize run-time
overhead and network bandwidth utilization where possible, these URLs are not obtained
and stored beforehand. Instead, they are obtained on-demand at the time when the user
requests them.
3.4.3 Database Querying & Filtering
The ProfileFragment periodically sifts through the reminder database to determine when
to trigger profile alerts. To help reduce the search time, we use SQL WHERE clause to
filter out the “enabled” reminders and only iterate through them. As an added optimization
feature, we can potentially galso use the WHERE clause to query for reminders whose
reminder zones contain the user’s current GPS location, in order to further reduce the
search size.

 Location (Geofence)
 Time (Exact time or time range)
 BatteryState
 Battery Level (Exact level or level range)
 HeadphoneState
These rules can be freely combined (e.g. at a certain location AND a certain
time).

i. PERIODIC PROGESS REPORT
Student Name : Parthik Poshiya
En. No. : 111020107004
Periodic Progess Report : First PPR
Project : Self Tacit Zone
Status : Reviewed (Freeze)
What Progress you have made in the Project ?
we have to add future technology into the project like to keep the general record of the user manse
daily route of their work or traveling . and also we have to complete the over all design part of
the project but its dynamic so it might be change at run time.
What challenge you have faced ?
we have to face the challenge into implement the map view and map related action like in map
version-2 we have to change some methods so we have to first understand that things and and
then implements . And main thing is that my project is IDP so at many time user or client have to
change their mind and tell us to change into the application. so many times we have to face the
problems.
What support you need ?
Yes, this field is very important for us , we have to take many kinds of the helps and support for
to develop the map renders and to do attractive app so design is also in under of the support and
guide's.
Which literature you have referred ?
https://www.pettracker.com/sites/default/.../Tagg_UG_February2013.pdf - we have to show this
manual and we learn from it. stackoverflow.com/questions/.../very-easy-android-geofence-
example , https://github.com/Esri/geotrigger-sdk-android :- finally from this tutorial we have to
teach that how to fence the location and give it to fence for perform some action.
Comment by Internal Guide :
Do some more literature survey on location based application

Periodic Progess Report : Second PPR
we have to cover up many kinds of designing area of our application and also clear part of the
action perform on location and the main thing is that all design part is over now and we have to
code the basic activities of our app .
in design part we have to face the main challenge is attraction of people and make the perfect
design which attract the people and the main thing is functionality of project is kept in our hand
no side effect of the design in that.
we have to take the functional support from the android's portal git-hub and refer some magazine
and look up for some code .
we have to refer one or more tutorial that based on location from UDACITY program by google
android.
Proper analyze requirement of your user and then design

Periodic Progess Report : Third PPR
Almost we have to done most of design and code also now it's time to do some little bit parts of
design and code also it means some changes that we have to do at last of the full work done....!
at this stage we have no much more problems that we expected but it goes smoothly so at this
time we have no problems related to the project and regard to the part of module.
basically this module is simple and easy so no support we have to need to implement this module
because of in this last changes we have do so basic external need.....
1) https://developers.geoloqi.com/ 2) http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/09/android-location-
based-services.html 3) https://developer.android.com/training/location/geofencing.html
Design proper UI and test compatibility of design

Periodic Progess Report : Forth PPR
At the end of the project and it's small changes we have to take whole project under the testing
schedule so we have to go for it and if any problem or error occured at the time of the testing then
we have to solve them at the prefered time duration. So this overall process of the project is
allmost finish but some touching is remaining that is done in to A week.
problem is there now we have to finish all thigs but some times location get by the GPS is wrong
or slightly difference between pure location so thats why we have to face problem to test the app..
yes we have to take the need from other resources like android developer and git repository so we
have to study this all the kinds of the material related to the location based simulation.
https://developer.android.com/training/testing.html
test it using real time situation and location

Periodic Progess Report : Additional PPR_1
All Given Suggestion by Guide due to forth PPR is Completed , Now we think about Future Expansion
we have face to make Attractive Design , but now have create best UI as possible!
we take support of Senior Android Developer
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/
Good work.

user need like launch some app on some location, remind by notification at some location , perform som
to put in to the action area of the application
we have to face this time less challenge but still some things are like as challenge that is we decide to la
the required code or related learning materials..
we have to show some code of related app that have been made into the git-hub and find some extra solut
