Lab assignment: 30% (5/12/2026)

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).

Group project:

10%(proposal) – 17/12/2026

20%(Mobile App) – 31/1/2026

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.

Course syllabus & Schema of work (Mobile Technology and Programming)

By in Mobile App Development

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:

  • Understand the concepts of mobile programming frameworks in support of a diverse online community.
  • Develop a mobile application that is usable, efficient and secure on more than one device.
  • Demonstrate entrepreneurial skills in the development of mobile application.
