 ABSTRACT

In our developing and technology dependent life, we totally rely on gadgets especially
smartphones. Today everyone has a smart phone. With this we get an opportunity to use
technology in a better way so that it can be made useful to us. And it plays an important part in
our daily life and helps us staying fit in many ways.

The remarkable problem is that we forget to perform certain important life related chores in
proper time. Medication adherence, which refers to the degree or extent to which a patient takes
the right medication at the right time according to a doctor’s prescription, has recently emerged
as a serious issue because many studies have reported that non-adherence may critically affect
the patient, thereby raising medical costs.

Student life is no longer easy. Projects, homework, submissions, extra classes, tests,
extracurricular activities …the list of tasks they need to complete is numerous. Deadline after the
deadline they need to meet make their life stressful from a young age. They would need a person,
mostly mom to constantly remind them of the tasks they need to complete as being kids they
miss out. But then this is not always practical. The best way out is to introduce them to easy to
use this Daily Planner app!

 CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

Are you continuously struggling to remember things?

Do you also forget the dates of important upcoming events?
Or Are you committing the same frustrating mistake again and again because it slips out of your
mind?
This is an Android-based application in which an automatic notification system is implemented. It
focuses on user and his/her needs. The user can enter the appropriate title for their event. Then
select the date and time of event occurrence and add notification preference for when the app must
notify us. Also the user can opt for the repetition of created event reminder maybe one-time, daily
or weekly. Our user can also customise it by adding Note color. On clicking save icon the app is
now ready to notify you!

Our V-Care Application does vital role including -

1. Registering a new task and taking time and date to schedule the job.
2. Displaying all the tasks in the form of a list.
3. Keeping reminders for the task through notifications.
4. Showing Reminders using Recycler View or List View.
5. Embedding a floating action button on the home screen. Using this, the user can add new tasks.
6. Showing Notification using Notification Manager and pending Intent.
7. Updating the Manifest file with the necessary declarations and permission.

 CHAPTER 2 – ABOUT ANDROID STUDIO

Android Studio is the official integrated development environment (IDE) for Google’s Android
operating system, built on Jett Brains IntelliJ IDEA software and designed specifically for Android
development. It is available for download on Windows, macOS, and Linux-based operating system
s or as a subscription-based service in 2020.It is a replacement for the Eclipse

Android Development Tools (E-ADT) as the primary IDE for native Android application
development.

Android Studio was announced on May 16, 2013, at the Google I/O conference. It was in the early
access preview stage from version 0.1 in May 2013, then entered the beta stage starting from
version 0.8 which released in June 2014.The first stable build was released in December 2014,
starting from version 1.0. On May 7,2019, Kotlin replaced Java as Google’s preferred language for
Android app development. Java is still supported, as is C++.

The following features are provided in the current stable version:

Gradle-based build support
Android-specific refactoring and quick fixes
Template-based wizards to create common Android designs and components
A rich layout editor that allows users to drag-and -drop UI components, option to preview
layouts on multiple screen configuration.
Support for building Android Wear apps
Android Virtual Device (Emulator) to run and debug apps in the Android studio.

3.3Description about Implementation:

Code to transact between Navigation items selected->

In the main Page to which the user is taken in the bottom there are 3 activities represented.
This piece of code helps in travelling between three activity pages. If Item calendar is selected it
hides other two actions and shows only CalenderFragment. It applies the same over clicking other
two activities item.

Code to avoid clicking on non-active dates:

In the viewCalendar activity all the dates which are already scheduled will be highlighted.
Also this code shows alert dialogue so that we can add event.

18

Department of Computer Science

 Code which facilitates setting notification by extracting all the event details
filled->

Then the user can add event clicking on the AddEvent floating button, fill all the required details
in the space provided and save the given details by pressing top right button.
These details are then used by this piece of code to set the alarm notification.

period of time.

CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSION & FUTURE SCOPE

This application intelligently notifies user about the event prior enough so that user can reach
the location or do the work on time. The application manages the event schedules for user by
keeping track of all the scheduled events.
Currently our app shares the event only when intended by the user ,but most often that is not
the case. We would like to develop the app so that the user is notified about the event even
through mail at the same exact moment.
The existing app does not have an alarm notifying component. We want to make sure that this
can reach women during their pregnancy period and help them with their consultations with
the doctor by notifying them about their consultation dates prior so that there will be no
hassles regarding remembering dates!
