Lab assignment: 30% (5/12/2021)

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:

1. About me (One page only)
2. Skills (One page only)
3. Hobbies (One page only)

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.

• Navigate Drawer
• TextView
• Button/ImageButton
• ListView
• WebView
• Imageview

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:

1. Project files
2. Video of the app

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:

10%(proposal) – 17/12/2021

20%(Mobile App) – 31/1/2021

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:  

1. Proposal/report document (softcopy)
2. Project file mobile application (softcopy)

Report

Format:

1. In Power Point 
2. Font type: Times New Roman / Arial
3. No. of slides: 10 – 15 slides
4. Cover page – course, group, project title, prepared by and prepared for

Content

• Title
• Problem statement
• Objectives – 2 to 3 objectives
• Scopes
• Members’ particular details – ID and name & Job assignment
• User interface design
• Database design – ERD
• Methods/techniques applied 

Application

Please ensure that the mobile application adheres to the following conditions:

1. The mobile app has login & logout functions. Only the registered users can access the mobile app based on their authorizations.
2. The database is either SQLite or MySQL. For those who use MySQL database will be rewarded extra marks.
3. The CRUD functions for at least one table.
4. Produce a simple report from the database.

Implementation

• Students must use Android Studio IDE to develop the mobile application.
• Students may have a local host to locate the MySQL database server, in case they are using the MySQL database.
• The mobile application is run on pc/laptop and viewed by using the android emulator/android device because the lecturer need to see the source code in order to evaluate the students’ understanding on the subject matter.

The evaluation rubric

1. Report

	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

• Mobile App

	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 programming technologies for designing, building and publishing related to internet programming. It provides students with fundamental knowledge and techniques required to access device capabilities, current technologies and standards, operating system for Software Development Kit (SDK) and mobile programming. Upon completion, students should be able to create an efficient application for mobile devices.

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Construct practical skills in mobile programming
• Determine scientific skills in mobile programming
• Display leadership skills in managing a mobile programming project
