GOOD LUCK 🙂
This lab assignment is an individual assignment. Students can discuss and refer to any related resources as long as they manage to design and develop the mobile app by themselves. In this lab assignment, students are required to use Android Studio IDE.
This lab assignment is about personal app. It is meant that students can share information about themselves such as:
Note: Please use your own creativity to develop the above pages.
It also has quick links to UiTM Website and iStudent Portal.
App icon and splash screen should be included.
There are several elements to take into the consideration in developing the mobile app.
Students have two weeks to finish this lab assignment. For the time being, I will evaluate it using your mobile phones. In case if you don’t have any android device, I will evaluate it through the emulator.
Please see the appendix for the example of the mobile app pages.
Appendix: The example of the mobile application pages are shown as below:
What to submit:
Put both of the files in the google drive and share the link in the UFuture (I will create the assignment in UFuture later).
The evaluation rubric
| Criteria | CONTENTS (3 PAGES) (1-5) | ELEMENTS (5 FEATURES) (1-5) | CORRECTNESS (1-5) | INTERFACE (1-5) | COMPLETION (1-5) |
| Description | 3 pages existed in the application | All 5 features are used in the application | The application is correctly developed without error | The view of the interface | The completion of the application |
Group project requirement
This group project is especially designed as a platform for students to improve their soft skills such as logical thinking, critical thinking, problem solving, programming and esprit de corps. The ideal group size is 4 – 5 members. It is recommended that the group size is as small as possible. By doing this, perhaps each student will give full commitment to the project. This is to make sure that there is no sleeping partners in the group. A project leader is appointed and responsible to the success of the group.
The time duration of the group project is seven weeks starting from assigning the project title until the project presentation.
Each group is required to provide with the followings:
Report
Format:
Content
Application
Please ensure that the mobile application adheres to the following conditions:
Implementation
The evaluation rubric
| 5 – 4 marks | 3 – 2 marks | 1 – 0 mark | |
| 1. Organization | The contents are organized and explained very well | The contents are less organized and explained | The contents are notorganized and explained at all |
| 2. Contribution | All requirements and objectives are identified, evaluated and completed | All requirements are identified and evaluated but some objectives arenot completed | Many requirements and objectives are not identified, evaluatedand/or completed |
| 5 – 4 marks | 3 – 2 marks | 1 – 0 mark | |
| 1. UserInterface | Interface is neat and well organized | Interface is reasonably neat | Interface is untidy and not organized |
| 2. Run without error | Runs smoothly and without errors | Runs but with some errors | Still contain error or warning |
| 3. Correctness | Application is according to theoriginal proposal and givescorrect output | Application follows the original partially or givessome incorrect output | Application is completely incorrect |
| 4. Database | CRUD functions for at least one table without errors | CRUD functions for at least one table with some errors | No database used at all |
The full marks are 30 marks in which 10 marks for the report and 20 marks for the mobile app.
This course introduces students to mobile programming technologies for designing, developing, and publishing mobile applications across multiple platforms. It provides fundamental knowledge and techniques for leveraging device capabilities, adhering to current technologies and standards, implementing security measures, and working with various mobile operating system software development kits (SDKs). Emphasis is placed on building efficient, secure, and user-friendly mobile applications while fostering entrepreneurial and analytical skills. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze mobile programming frameworks to support diverse online communities, build efficient and secure mobile applications for multiple devices, and demonstrate entrepreneurial skills in mobile application analysis. Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory sessions, and discussions, while assessments consist of tests, assignments, and group projects.
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
