Women safety application by using android

ABSTRACT:
In todays time when you are seeing so many crimes that is taking place in our surrounding as well as in our nations and that has become biggest threat to us as well as our families, then in such situation safety becomes the major concern for all of us. However, can you image that just a small app on your mobile phone that you carry almost everywhere along with you can save to from some of the major risk to your life and at the same it can keep your parents or guardians well informed about the location where are you located.

INTRODUCTION TO ANDROID: In recent years, an open-source platform Android has been widely used in Smartphones. Android has a complete software package consisting of an operating system, middleware layer, and core applications. Different from other existing platforms like iOS (iPhone OS), it comes with Software Development Kit (SDK), which provides essential tools and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for developers to build new applications for Android platform in Java. And also Android platform has support for Bluetooth network stack, which allows Bluetooth-enabled devices to communicate wirelessly with each other in a short distance. In this paper, it aims to develop a Bluetooth-based application for the proposed home lighting control system using an open-source Android Development Tools (ADT), Android SDK (Software Development Kit) and Java Development Kit (JDK).

WHAT IS ANDROID? Android: In Brief, Android is an operating Platform for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers.Now they are not used just for making calls but they have innumerable uses and can be used as a Camera , Music player, Tablet PC, T.V. , Web browser etc. And with the new technologies, new software and operating systems are required. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google. The Android Platform is a software stack for mobile devices including an operating system, middle ware and key applications.

Developers can create applications for the platform using the android SDK. Applications are written using the java programming language and run on dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux Kernel. The application is sophisticatedly designed for Android based devices.

The electronic TV is used for the faster access and also can be used for the controlling of the entire system like modifications, updatingetc. With the help of the electronic TV the entire system can be controlled by the user.

Release of updated versions can be made. Security can be implemented by authentication through login details.

Facebook and Gmails integrations can be made.
