On September 3, 2013, Google announced that one billion activated Android devices were in
use worldwide. In June 2015, Android devices that accessed the Internet accounted for 59.1%
of the worldwide smartphone and tablet market, 68.3% of the Chinese market, and 40.78% of
the US market.

ABSTRACT

EyeOnU: GPS Tracker is an Android Application which can be used to give access to a
person(s), who can help you locate your Android device using his/her device (may not be
android). One may be able to find your misplaced phone even if it is in silent/vibration mode
with this application installed in it.
After installing the application on the device, certain favourite contacts have to be selected
(maximum 5) from the contacts list. These selected contacts would have the access to:

Change the device mode to Ringer

Generating an alert on the device with siren and strobe flashlight
Retrieving the exact location of the device on their device via SMS

by sending an SMS to the device using their device. All the above mentioned features can
only be accessed if the service of the application is turned ON by the user. The application
would work in the background, initially matching the message senders phone no from the
favourite contacts database, then matching the message body to the predefined strings
corresponding to the three features provided by the service of the application.
The application provides an interface to get your current location as Longitude, Latitude and
the complete Address using the WhereAmI tab of the drawer. An additional feature of SOS
is also added to the application to help the user in case of emergency. By clicking the SOS

button, the current location of the user would be send to all the contacts in the Favourite
Contacts list via SMS.
The application is based on the concepts of Android Application Development and Core Java.
The application can be used on an Android Smartphone by installing the .apk file.
This report covers basic knowledge of EyeOnU: GPS Tracker Application and concepts of
Android App Development.

Functional requirements

User: This module helps to add contacts and edit and delete them. .

IMPLEMETATION
Some of the difficulties we faced were in trying to make the desired functions work. At first
the coding seemed a little complex, so we went back to the client for clarification and we
were able to get a more detailed description of the functions. After studying the IDE we
wanted to use, the coding became less complex and we were able to figure out how to go
about it.

Technical issues encountered

Some of the technical issues and questions we encountered were with the following:
8

 App Scalability according to the device

Buttons corresponding to the list items
Design of Navigation Drawer
Matching the contacts phone number with the database

Software development practices adopted

We used Extreme Programming to build the software.

We adopted the whole team approach in which the client was involved

throughout the software development.

We used simple designs which were as simple as the current

functionality allowed by the system. We first began with very simple design
which is incrementally improved.

Continuous integration was also used where each code was compiled

run and tested before adding to the system after which the system must meet
all the criteria

We also made sure that we coded according to coding standards, the

development codes were consistent and had the same style throughout.

APPROACH TO DESIGN
The project is prepared on the basis of the approach of waterfall model. waterfall model is a
process which follows the sequential methodology in which process is see=n slowly and
across the different stages of the model.
The project (eye on you) was divide into different stages according to the waterfall model.
first step was to gather the requirements.(software requirements and product
requirements).then analysation took place for creating the model and the schema after the
analysation design was created that resulted in the architectural layout of the project. once the
design was completed than I started with the coding part during this period development and
integration took place . once the coding part is done than come the testing phase , this is the
9

phase in which the verification and the validation takes place , all the errors are detected and
fixed and finally we reach the operation phase in which our project is working perfectly , in
this installation and maintenance is done.

DISCUSSION OF RESULT
The app is running perfectly. The following screenshots are the actual screenshots of working

CONCLUSION
Adequacy and Coverage
The EyeOnU Android Application can be used to:

Change the mode of device to Ringer

Generate an alert on the device with siren and strobe flashlight
Retrieve the exact location of the device
Send the devices location to the favourite contacts in case of emergency (SOS)
Restrict the access to a certain no of favourites

Elegance and User-friendliness

The different tasks and functions are outlined in a very simple and clear manner for the users.
The interface is very simple and not complicated to allow easy usage.

Quality assurance

The application was fully tested to ensure that it is relatively error free and works without

stopping.
The application provides a better, convenient and efficient way of keeping track of your
device.

FUTURE PROSPECTS
There is always room for improvement, and the application we created can also be improved.
This is especially because we had to create it within a limited time. With more time, the
application can be improved to include online database for the favourite contacts and multiuser capability. In addition, the application can also be improved in terms of versatility (the
current version only runs on Android Version: Ice Cream Sandwich and above).

APPENDICES
The Waterfall Model was first Process Model to be presented. It is additionally alluded to as
a straight successive life cycle model. It is extremely easy to comprehend and utilize. In a
waterfall model, every stage must be finished before the following stage can start and there
is no covering in the stages.

Waterfall model is the most punctual SDLC approach that was utilized for programming
improvement .

The waterfall Model shows the product advancement process in a straight successive stream;
subsequently it is likewise alluded to as a direct consecutive life cycle model. This implies
any stage in the improvement process starts just if the past stage is finished. In waterfall
model stages don't cover.

Waterfall methodology was first SDLC Model to be utilized broadly as a part of Software
Engineering to guarantee accomplishment of the task. In "The Waterfall" approach, the
entire procedure of programming advancement is isolated into partitioned stages. In
Waterfall model, ordinarily, the result of one stage goes about as the data for the following
stage successively.

Taking after is a diagrammatic representation of various periods of waterfall model.
