THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAMPUS INFORMATION SHARING ANDROID APPLICATION

Abstract

The development of campus information sharing Android application is basically an improvement project of the traditional way of spreading information with the technology approach using smart devices. The relevance to the idea is to encounter problems faced with the vulnerability of papers, and also the related costs. There are a few projects around the world has the similar concept for this project. Some of the similarities, including the usage of server as the storage element. Other than that, there is an Android application which uses the date and time to store information in a specific category. The development of this project is entirely using the MIT App Inventor, a free open source Android programming base. It uses the block code programming language which helps amateur programmers to build Android applications easily, compared to a normal textual programming language. As a result of the development, the Android application functions in three separate pages; the home page, the editor mode, and the user mode. This application helps the users to spread and retrieve information anywhere, anytime equipped with security features to avoid misleading or false information. The scope of the application usage is targeted to the UniKL MIMET students to help increasing the efficiency of the information sharing process.
