    Section B: Designing a Mobile Application (40 Marks) (Select One Question)


    Now that you identified opportunities of using and extending the CHT framework to create mobile
    apps in the following scenarios to build digital health products to manage Covid 19 around Juja and
    JKUAT:
    a) At the community level, community health workers (CHWs) use apps built with the CHT to
    register patients, conduct guided health assessments, screen for specific conditions and
    danger signs, and refer patients to health facilities.
    b) At the health facility level, nurses and CHW supervisors use apps and admin consoles built
    with the CHT to coordinate care for patients with the CHWs, promote health practices in the
    community, and report health and service delivery statistics to health system officials
    c) At the health system level, data managers and others use apps and admin consoles built with
    the CHT to collate and report on key community and health system data. Their work often
    involves following up with supervisors and nurses to verify data for accuracy and completion.

    You will be required to design and develop a mobile app that uses the CHT toolkit or any other
    framework. The app will deal with any area and/or problem of your choice, but has to include
    particular features as follows:
     The app must store data in a local SQLLite database or any other appropriate databases
     It must contain an “input” screen where the user has to enter data
     Must include a list (with an underlying SELECT)
     Must do INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT, DELETE on the database
     Must have at least 1 list screen, 1 input screen, 1 extra screen (e.g. splash, or help).

    The purpose of assignment is to demonstrate your proficiency at using the API to discover new
    features, which you can then implement. Examples of features might be using menus on your screen,
    tabs, multi-row lists, linking to camera, linking to network, animated images, location services,
    preferences, dialogs, etc. Your choice.

    What do you have to hand in?


    Phase I: User Interface Design
    User interface design or user interface engineering is the design of computers, appliances,
    machines, mobile communication devices, software applications, and websites with the focus on the
    user's experience and interaction
    There are several iterative stages during the development of the user interface for mobile
    applications:
     Analysis of potential users;
     Definition of the functional requirements to the user interface depending on the purpose of
    the application and the potential needs of the users;
     Development of a navigation scheme of the application;

    2
     Development of a prototype in the form of a simple interactive screens, which include
    basic information - text, graphics, audio and video;
     Testing with emulators - testing the prototype with appropriate emulators for mobile
    devices (embedded in the development environments or provided by other developers);
     Usability testing - testing the prototype with real users from different groups using mobile
    devices;
     Development of final version of the user interface. The results of testing with the emulator
    and/or testing with real users may be taken into account. If it is necessary the
    architecture of the application can be changed. In some cases it may be necessary to
    develop different graphic templates for different screen resolutions.

    Phase II: Project Coding


    Project Code AND screens print: Provide a single zipped file containing all directories/files in your
    Android project. Therefore, all classes, source code, resources, manifest file etc will be included.
    You should also include a screen print of the main opening menu/screen of your app. Include your
    group name in the zipped file name e.g. Group 1.zip

    Section C: Designing a Mobile Application (40 Marks)


    You will build a simple application that acts as a diary for faculty members in a university. The
    assignment will help you understand how to design activities, how to start a new activity, and build
    simple user interfaces, use your creativity to design the UI elements. There are no constraints on
    what UI elements are allowed. The feature that would distinguish your application from others would
    be the slickness of your UI.

    You are provided an example xml (example.xml) file that you can use to test your application.
    Initially, the application will start with a main screen, where it will show the following options:
    Contact, Courses Taught, Events, and News. Each of these options represents a separate activity of
    the application. More details on each of these modules is provided below:

    Contact will display information about the faculty member. The information will contain the
    following: Office Address, contact email, office hours, and course offering this semester. The app
    should have the option to edit this Contact information (you will have to do some research on finding
    the right UI element to implement this functionality). Following is the format of the “contact”
    information in the provided XML file. Your App will load this information from the provided XML
    file and update the xml file if any the user makes changes.
    <contact
    type="faculty"
    name="Nilanjan Banerjee"
    position="Lecturer"
    office="IT Room 302"
    email="[email protected]"
    phone="999999999"
    offile_hour="10-11am Mon, thursday">
    <course name="Mobile Computing" course code="BIT 2223"/>
    <course name="Artificial Intelligence" course code="BIT 2319"/>
    </contact>

    The Courses activity will display a list of courses that are offered by the faculty member during the
    current semester. It will show the following information about the courses: Course code, Course
    Title, Contact Hours, Days (Class day), and Time (class time). The user should be able to edit
    information corresponding to each course. Following is the format of the “courses” tag in the input
    XML file. The App will load this information from the provided XML file and update it if any
    changes are made.
    <courses
    Course Code="2206"
    3
    courseTitle="Introduction to Database Systems"
    contactHours="45"
    Days="Tuesdays"
    Time="1:00-3:00pm"
    />

    In the Events module, the faculty member should be able to add/delete/edit their own events, for
    example, classes. Following is the format of the “events” in the input XML file. The app will load
    this information from the provided XML file and update it if any changes are made by the user.
    <events
    type="class"
    time="1:00-3:00pm"
    day="Tuesdays"
    note="Class Database" />
    <events
    type="Appointment"
    time="3:00-5:00pm"
    day="W"
    note="Project Students" />

    The news module will show recent news about the faculty. Basically it will show recent research
    activities/grants/achievements. The user should be able to edit each news information. Following is
    the format of “news” in the XML file. App will load this information from the provided XML file
    and update it if any changes are done.
    <news
    title="Title: HCII 2021"
    keyword="HCII Conference 2021"
    highlights=”Virtual Conference"
    />

    What to submit:
    Please comment your code well. You will share your Android project as a tar.gz file and upload it to
    your Google site. Before the submission deadline you should send an email with the link to your
    assignment. In addition to the source code you must submit a video describing and demoing the
    features of your application.

    You can upload your video to YouTube and then use the link to share the video.
