PreFace

It has been stated, each long journey starts with a little step now a day. The world becomes
complex and going towards direction of computerization so the Bhavnagar University has
included project and industrial study as a part of B.C.A course.

Today's competitive market works on current market technologies. Therefore it is necessary that
the system developed by you should be based on that technology.

Now a day, computers are used in all most all fields. We hardly find any field that does not make
use of computers. This it says that the working method of people has changed a lot from ancient
times to today's fast and efficient widely used technology.

With knowledge you know only words,

With experience you know the meanings.

Computers are finding an important place in all fields because of its user friendly so establish
yourself in this market you need to design the system in such a way that they don't find any
difficulty to the extent possible. This is probably one of the most difficult tasks for the
developers also the system must adapt to new skills that are friendliness and practical usefulness
is taken into account. I strongly believe that this report will be helpful in guiding the user about
our system and making them feel comfortable while working with the system.

Introduction

1.1 Background :

In today’s digital world, people manage a vast number of personal and professional
contacts.However, default contact apps often lack advanced features such as
categorization, favorites management, and in-app contact storage.

This project aims to overcome these limitations by providing a custom Contact

Management System that allows users to:

 Store contacts privately within the app (without syncing with Google Contacts).
 Categorize contacts into groups like Public, Private, and Friends.
 Mark contacts as favorites for quick access.
 Search contact easily.

1.2 Objective :

1.Implement CRUD Operations – Enable users to Create, Read, Update, and Delete
contacts.

2. Categorize Contacts into Groups – Allow users to assign contacts to Public, Private,
and friendsgroups.

3. Mark Contacts as Favorites – Provide an option to mark/unmark contacts as

favorites and display them in the FavoriteFragment.

4. Enable Efficient Searching & Filtering – Implement a search function to quickly

find contacts based on name or phone number.

5. Store & Retrieve Contact Images – Support profile picture storage using
ByteArray in SQLite.

Favorites, and Groups using BottomNavigationView.

7. Manage Permissions – Handle READ/WRITE contacts and image permissions

securely.

1.3 Purpose and Scope

Purspose:
The Contact Management System is designed to provide users with a personalized, efficient, and
feature-rich contact management solution that operates independently of cloud-based services.
Unlike traditional phone contact apps, this system allows users to:
 Store contacts locally using SQLite for offline access.
 Categorize contacts into groups like Public, Private, and Friends.
 Mark important contacts as favorites for quick retrieval.
 Search and filter contacts efficiently.

Scope:

Contact Management:

 Add, update, delete, and retrieve contacts.

 Store contact details like name, phone number, email, and profile image.

Favorites & Groups:

 Mark/unmark contacts as favorites and display them in the FavoriteFragment.

 Categorize contacts into Public, Private, and Friends groups and display them in
GroupFragment.

User Interface & Navigation:

 Implement BottomNavigationView to switch between Contacts, Favorites, and

Groups.
 Use RecyclerView to display contacts dynamically.
 Floating Action Button (FAB) for quick contact addition.

Search & Filtering:

 Implement a search function for quick retrieval.

 Filter contacts by name, phone number, or group.

Data Storage & Permissions:

 Use SQLite Database for storing contacts.

 Request READ/WRITE contact permissions for seamless integration.
 Store images using ByteArray for efficiency.

1.5 Applicability :

The Contact Management System is applicable in various real-world scenarios where users
need an efficient, organized, and private way to store and manage their contacts. Below are
some key areas where this project can be useful:

 Organized Contact Storage – Users can store their contacts in a structured way with
groups like Public, Private, and Friends.
 Favorites Section – Frequently contacted people can be marked as favorites for quick
access.
 Efficient Search & Filtering – Helps users quickly find contacts without scrolling
through long lists.
 Offline Access – Since data is stored locally in SQLite, users can access contacts even
without the internet.
 Group-Based Organization – Store VIP clients, potential leads, or regular customers
separately.
 Image Storage for Identification – Helps businesses store customer profile pictures
for better recognition.

Required And Analysis

2.1 SDLC - Software Development Life Cycle

SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It is a systematic process used by
developers to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications. The SDLC provides a
structured approach that ensures software is developed with high quality, within budget, and on
time.

Why SDLC?
1. SDLC ensures a structured and systematic approach to software development.
2. It helps in better planning, designing, and testing of the software.
3. It enables effective project management and tracking.
4. It minimizes the risks and errors during the development phase.
5. It improves the quality of the final product and ensures customer satisfaction.

SDLC for Contact Management System in Android Studio with Kotlin and
SQLite
For developing a Contact Management System in Android Studio using Kotlin and SQLiteDatabase, SDLC
provides a clear roadmap through the following phases:
1. **Requirement Analysis**: Understanding and gathering the features needed in the contact
management system such as adding, editing, deleting contacts, and using SQLite for storage.
2. **Planning**: Creating a development plan, estimating time, cost, and resources.
3. **Design**: Designing the UI using XML layouts and database schema using SQLite.
4. **Implementation**: Writing the actual Kotlin code in Android Studio to implement the desired
features.
5. **Testing**: Verifying the app functionality, performing unit tests, and UI testing to ensure
everything works correctly.
6. **Deployment**: Launching the application for use on Android devices.
7. **Maintenance**: Updating the app based on user feedback and fixing any bugs that arise post-
deployment.

2.2 Problem Defination :

Problem:
 Lack of Categorization – Default contact apps do not allow users to group
contacts into custom categories.
 Inefficient Search & Filtering – Searching for contacts in large lists can be
time-consuming and cumbersome.
 No Favorite Section – Users need quick access to important contacts without
scrolling through entire lists.
 Privacy Issues in Cloud-Based Storage – Many contact apps sync data to the
cloud, which raises security concerns.
 No Offline Access – Some apps require an internet connection to access certain
contact details.
 Limited Image Handling – Default contact apps may not provide efficient image
storage in local databases.

Solution :

The Contact Management System solves these problems by providing:

 CRUD Operations – Allow users to add, update, delete, and retrieve contacts.
 Favorites Section – Mark contacts as favorites and display them in
FavoriteFragment.
 Group-Based Organization – Store contacts in Public, Private, and Friends
categories in GroupFragment.
 SQLite Database for Offline Storage – No internet required, ensuring data
privacy and accessibility.
 Efficient Search & Filtering – Users can search by name, phone number, or
group.
 Bottom Navigation for Easy Access – Seamless navigation between Contacts,
Favorites, and Groups.
 Image Storage with SQLite – Allows users to store profile pictures efficiently.

Testing and Implementation

4.1 Testing Approach Used

Proactive : -
o This approach defines amd presents the approach or way to carry out the testing
procedures,as soon as possible,even before the development of the initial software
build.

o The said technique may be seen as a preventive approach,in order to find and fix
defects

Reactive : -

o Reactive Testing is a dynamic testing approach where tests are adapted based on
real-time application behavior.
o Instead of predefining all test cases upfront, test strategies evolve as issues
emerge, making it highly effective for event-driven and interactive
applications like a Contact Management System.

Testing Methods :-

What is testing?

Testing is the process of evaluating software to ensure it meets the required

functionality, performance, security, and usability. It helps identify bugs, errors,
or defects before software is deployed to users.

1.Black Box Testing

Black Box Testing is a software testing technique where the tester evaluates the
functionality of an application without knowing its internal code, logic, or
structure. The focus is on input and output rather than the internal workings.

2.White Box Testing

White Box Testing is a software testing technique where the tester evaluates the
internal structure, logic, and code of the application. Unlike Black Box Testing,

testers have full access to the code, algorithms, and data flow.

3.Unit Testing

Unit Testing is a software testing technique where individual components (or

units) of an application are tested in isolation to verify they function correctly. A
unit can be a function, method, class, or module.

4.Integrated Testing

Integration Testing is a software testing technique where multiple units/modules

are combined and tested as a group to ensure they work together correctly. It
verifies data flow, communication, and interactions between different
components.

5.System Testing

System Testing is a software testing technique where the entire application is

tested as a whole to ensure it meets functional and non-functional requirements. It
evaluates the end-to-end behavior of the system, including UI, databases, APIs,
and integrations.

6.Acceptance Testing

Acceptance Testing is the final phase of testing before a software product is

delivered to end users. It ensures the application meets business requirements
and user expectations. The goal is to verify whether the system is ready for
deployment.

4.3 Implementation Approach or Implementation Tools

Implementation Approaches for Contact Management System (Android - Kotlin)

The implementation of the Contact Management System in Android Studio using Kotlin
follows different approaches to ensure a structured, scalable, and efficient application. Below are
the main implementation approaches:

1.Architectural Approach – MVVM(Model – View –ViewModel)

Why MVVM?

Made by : Pavasiya Yash k. Page 42

Rollno:2223316
 Shree Swaminarayan College of Computer Science
(Affiliated to M. K. Bhavnagar University)
Project title:Contact Management system BCA-6/E
 Separation of concerns (UI, business logic, and data management are separated).
 Better maintainability (easy to modify and extend).
 Improves performance (reduces unnecessary UI updates).

Component Purpose
Model Represents data (Contact entity, database)
View UI layer (XML layouts, Fragments)
ViewModel Manages UI-related data and business logic

2. Database Approach - SQLite with Room Database

Why Room?

 Abstraction over SQLite (easier to use).

 Built-in LiveData and Coroutines support.
 Better performance than raw SQLite queries.

Component Purpose
Defines database
Entity (Contact.kt)
table structure
Manages database
DAO (ContactDao.kt)
operations
Database Creates Room
(ContactDatabase.kt) database instance

3.UI Implemtation – jetpack Compnents

 Navigation Component → Handles fragment transitions.

 RecyclerView + ViewBinding → Displays contacts efficiently.
 LiveData → Updates UI automatically when data changes.

UI Component Description
Used for switching between Contact, Favorite, and Group
Bottom Navigation
Fragments
Floating Action Button
Adds new contacts
(FAB)
SearchView Filters contacts
CardView & RecyclerView Displays contacts

4. Image Handling - ByteArray Storage

Why store images as ByteArray?

 Efficient for small images.

 Reduces file access overhead.
 Works well with SQLite.

Method Description
Convert Image to ByteArray Stores image in the database
Convert ByteArray to Image Retrieves image from the database

5. Search & Filter Implementation

Approach:

 SQLite Queries with LIKE for search.

 LiveData & ViewModel for automatic UI updates.
 Spinner & Radio Buttons for group-based filtering.

Feature Implementation
Search by Name `SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE name LIKE '%'
Filter by Group SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE groupType = :selectedGroup

6. Permissions Handling - Android Runtime Permissions

Permissions Used:

 READ_CONTACTS → To read contacts from the device.

 WRITE_CONTACTS → To save contacts.
 READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE → To access images.

Step Implementation
Request permission ActivityCompat.requestPermissions()
Check permission ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission()
Handle result onRequestPermissionsResult()

7. Testing Approach

Manual Testing:

 UI Testing (Adding, Editing, Deleting contacts).

 Functional Testing (Search, Grouping, Favorites).
 Security Testing (Permissions, Unauthorized Access).

Automated Testing (JUnit + Espresso):

 Unit Testing (Testing ViewModel functions).

 UI Testing (Testing RecyclerView with Espresso).

practices offer a seamless user experience.
11. Overall, the system demonstrates a practical implementation of mobile application
development, showcasing strong design principles, data validation, and effective use of
the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

5.2 Limitations of program

 The Contact Management System is a well-structured application, but it has several

limitations.
 The SQLite-based storage restricts scalability, lacks real-time syncing, and can become
inefficient when handling large datasets, especially due to storing images as ByteArray.
 Performance issues may arise with large contact lists, causing UI lag, while the search
feature is case-sensitive and lacks fuzzy search capabilities.
 The absence of batch operations, biometric security, and data encryption makes it
less secure.
 Additionally, the app does not support contact import/export, duplicate detection, or
direct call/messaging integration, limiting its functionality.
 Since contacts are stored locally, there is no cloud backup or multi-device syncing,
meaning users risk losing all data upon uninstalling the app.
 Enhancements such as Firebase Cloud Sync, pagination for large datasets, batch
operations, security encryption, and advanced search optimization can significantly
improve scalability, security, and user experience.

5.3 Future Scope of the program

o Sync contacts with Google Drive, Firebase, or a cloud database for backup &
multi-device access.

o Enable real-time contact updates across multiple devices.
