 Project Title

Higher Education Information System (HEIS)

 INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES

Now-a-Days, Android OS is very common in smartphones. It is

the latest operating system. There are many android apps
made by android developers i.e. more than 1L apps already
developed. Some apps like BMI calculator, m-indicator, etc. and
games like temple run, Dr. Driving, etc. So we are also
developing an application in android.
It is an education app. I have chosen education app for the
better knowledge of the Open education to all the student. It
provides all the information about the courses and give the
correct information about the courses
The primary objective is to create a user-friendly content
administration interface that includes some common HEIS
functions appropriate for Android, using the latest computer
language i.e. XML and JAVA.
The user side allows the user to view the last added sections in
the HEIS. User can easily backup and restore his account.
 Purpose & Scope

The purpose of HES and distance education:-

 Easy to know the all the details, according to the courses
 Easy to access
 Not need to go anywhere for the detailing of courses
 Time saving processes
 It speeds up the content updating process and makes it
easy for a non-technical user.
 It helps in keeping the content up-to-date and timely.

The scope of High Education System Application:-

 Give the option of the online registration
 Online assignment process should also be done

 Reference materials (encyclopedias, dictionaries,

standards guides)
 SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGY

To begin with, the education sector is clearly lagging behind

when it comes to adapting the digital revolution. A recent IBM
survey brought to light some staggering facts: 61 percent
respondents feel higher education in India is slow in responding
to the changing social demands and needs, 59% said the system
doesn't maintain relevant curriculum whereas 52% feel the
teaching resources are insufficient.
 This data defines the higher education according to
the distance education:-

This data give the information about the interest of people in

different sector:-
 PROBLEM DEFINATION

Biggest Challenges That Developers Face

in Android Platform
 Software Fragmentation. Google released a new version
of Android with several new features and enhancements
each year. ...
 Device Fragmentation. ...
 Absence of Standard User Interface for Android. ...
 Programming Language. ...
 Emerging Security Issues. ...
 Increasing App Visibility. ...
 Patent and Copyright Issues.

On the whole, a developer has to address a number of

challenges in Android app development to make his mobile
app successful. However, the Android app development
challenges may differ from one mobile app to another.
Each developer must implement a custom mobile app
development strategy to identify and overcome these
biggest challenges in Android app development.
 REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Developing apps for Android includes the following

requirements:
 Android SDK

 Apache Ant (Another Neat Tool), which is an open-source

tool that automates aspects of the Android build process
 Gradle (an advanced build toolkit that manages
dependencies and allows you to define custom build logic)

Hardware Specification
 A processor that supports Second Level Address
Translation (SLAT)
 6.5 GB of internal storage
 8 GB memory

 Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows

 Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Emulators

HARDWARE & SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION

components of user interface to database system.
 MODULE DESCRIPTION

 User Login:

This is the first module in our system .it give authentication

to the system. The Login Form module presents site visitors
with a form with username and password fields. If the user
enters a valid username/password combination they will be
granted access to additional resources on your project.

 Events Update:
The second module in my Higher Education Informartion
System. The Events Update module update the important
notification and events show an the students.

 List of College Details:

This is third module in our system. It can be all about the
college details. The college Details module can be followed
by an the four sub modules on the system. The modules are
About, Programs and duration, News and Events.
 List of Programs:
The HEIS provides the information about the and programs
module can be implemented an the course related an the
information. The programs module have the UG,PG course in
two subdivision the buttons.

 The U.G course are:

 Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)
 Bachelor of Business Administration Retailing (BBARL)
 Bachelor of Commerce (BCom)
 Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) - Finance and Taxation
 Bachelor in Computer Applications (BCA)
 Bachelor of Education (BEd)
 Bachelor of Engineering (BE) - Computer Science
Engineering
 Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT)

PROCESS LOGICS
 TESTING
The Android framework includes an integrated testing
framework that helps you test all aspects of your application
and the SDK tools include tools for setting up and running test
applications. Whether you are working in Eclipse with ADT or
working from the command line, the SDK tools help you set up
and run your tests within an emulator or the device you are
targeting.
Test Structure
Android's build and test tools assume that test projects are
organized into a standard structure of tests, test case classes,
test packages, and test projects.
Testing Tools in android
There are many tools that can be used for testing android
applications. Some are official like Junit,Monkey and some are
third party tools that can be used to test android applications.
In this chapter we are going to explain these two tools to test
android applications.

 JUnit
 Monkey
 LIMITATION
I. Little Memory for Storage: The Android technology
does not provide large amount of memory so the
developer need to provide the approach for storing the
data of the intended user of the app.
II. Force Close on Large App/Games: Due to the small
amount of RAM available on Android phones, some
applications put up huge loads on processor and because
of this smart phone gets hanged.
III. Data Connection: Android has large number of
background process which runs in the background, which
eats so much mobile data.
IV. Battery Problem: While android has many process running
in the background this increase the usage of RAM and
decreasing Battery Performance. While many top notch
device has good battery backup (Lithium Batteries) but still
that doesn’t mean it solved the problem.
 SCOPE OF FUTURE APPLICATION

 Revenue – The need for inventive App Developers are

increasing in the current job market. Mobile application
development can also be taken up as a part time job, where
you can create your own applications and submit it to the
Google Play store which can be downloaded. Google adsense
ads can be displayed in your application which again provides
monetary gains.
 Ease of use – Learning Android Programming is fairly
easy and app development is cost effective. Any
software developer who can think out of the box will be
able to put Android into extraordinary use.
 Support – The most important attraction of Android is
backing by Google.
