  1. Android Projects Luca Bedogni Marco Di Felice Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Informazione Università di Bologna

  2. The following proposals must be considered just hints. • All the main functionalities listed must be implemented (minimal requirements to have the project accepted). • We strongly encourage to expand/customize the proposal based on your creativity.

  3. Projects described in the following must be deployed by a single student. Group projects are not allowed. • Project implementation must be original and 100% student work (no code share or reuse). • Submit the project by email(lam-projects@cs.unibo.it) includingall code, a technical report and directivesrequired to compile/execute the project.

  4. Best students’ projects will be published on the WILMA-LAB wiki: • http://www.cs.unibo.it/projects/wilma-lab/wiki/ • Read and follow the instructions about projects submission policies (deadlines, validity, etc) on the course website: • http://www.cs.unibo.it/bononi

  5. PROPOSAL 1 (c)

  6. Android Project Proposals • Android Budget Tracking Application • Track current/periodic expenses • Browse data and generate reports • Compute and display useful statistics to keep personal finances in order. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  7. Android Project Proposals • Android Budget Tracking Application • Functionality1: Allow tracking of everyday’s expenses • Add information about a current expense (e.g. date, amount, category, description, etc) • Save all the information on a local database • Track location (e.g. shop’s location) • Optional: Save a picture of the item, acquired through the photocamera (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  8. Android Project Proposals • Android Budget Tracking Application • Functionality2: Manageperiodic/plannedexpenses • Add information aboutperiodicexpenses (e.g. loan) • Add information aboutplannedexpenses (e.g. bill) • Budget must be updatedat the payment date • Periodicremindersshould be shown 1 and 2 daysbefore(e.g. throughnotifications or alertdialogs) (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  9. Android Project Proposals • Android Budget Tracking Application • Functionality3: Visualize and browseexpenses by date • Visualize and enablebrowsing the list of expensesday by day, weekly or monthly • Allow the creation of PDF report (savedlocally) • Display locations on the Google Maps (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  10. Android Project Proposals • Android Budget Tracking Application • Functionality4: Provideweekly and monthlystatistics • Compute and visualizeusefulstatisticsaboutweekly and monthlyexpenses (e.g. totalexpenses for eachcategory, budget over weeks, etc). • Charts can be generated to visualize data. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  11. PROPOSAL 2 (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  12. Android Project Proposals • Implement a LaTeX Editor for Android • Provide the possibility to edit a text file. • Provide support for LaTeX commands/syntax. • Enable remote PDF compiling and file transfer. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  13. Android Project Proposals • Implement a LaTeX Editor for Android • Functionality 1: Typical Editor Functionalities • Open a text file • Edit the file • Save the file • Close the file • .. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  14. Android Project Proposals • Implement a LaTeX Editor for Android • Functionality 2: Support to LaTeX syntax/commands • Highlight the LaTeX commands/symbols (e.g. with colored text). • Help the user in inserting the LaTeX symbols (e.g. math symbols) on the text. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  15. Android Project Proposals • Implement a LaTeX Editor for Android • Functionality 3: Enable remote PDF compiling. • The app must transfer the .tex file to a remote server, where a PDF compiler is working. • Once the PDF is ready, it must be transferred back to the mobile device. An Intent should be generated to open the File. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012

  16. Android Project Proposals • Implement a LaTeX Editor for Android • Functionality 3: Enable remote PDF compiling. • (Optional) Manage also the compiler log (e.g. to handle the presence of errors). • (Optional) Allow the users to insert images to the .tex document. In this case, a .zip archive should be produced and sent to the remote server. (c) Luca Bedogni 2012
