Description
On completion, the learner will have an understanding of the specific development considerations relating to mobile phone application development. They will have designed, implemented, debugged and tested a mobile phone based application on a mobile OS.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Describe the fundamental aspects required to build a mobile phone application
2.
Use a design tool and programming development platform to develop simple mobile phone applications
3.
Choose appropriate user interface elements which complement the mobile phone application being developed
4.
Implement, debug and test mobile phone applications which utilise the sensors within the phone
5.
Design, implement and test an application which makes use of a major phone feature such as bluetooth or the inbuilt SQL database
Teaching and Learning Strategies
Lectures, recordings, demonstrations
A set of three main projects
- simple first project
- sensors project
- final project with bluetooth or other major features
Some assignments in specific programming areas such as timers, user layout, etc.
Module Assessment Strategies
Written assignments
Practical assignments
Final project - deployment and demonstration
Repeat Assessments
This is 100% CA
Indicative Syllabus
Mobile OS fundamentals.
- System diagram of components of a mobile OS
- Description of functionality of OS sub systems
- Key parts of mobile phone application
- user interface and layout
- java back end program
- page switching
- Accessing various OS subsystems, (timer, sensors, etc)
Development Platforms and Design tools
- Appreciation of mail aspects of design tool
- Taking a simple brief and translating this to the design phase
- Use of design tool to model the application
Programming, debugging and testing
- Using relevant tools to implement, debug and design the application
- Appreciation of emulators to verify the operation of the solution
- Testing of the application
Deployment and demonstration
- Initial project (e.g. resistor app)
- Sensor app (e.g. step counter)
- Final project (e.g. bluetooth game or app)
