INTRODUCTION

1. What is Android application?

Android is an open source, Linux-based software stack created for a wide array of
devices and form factors .An Android application is a software application running
on the Android platform. Because the Android platform is built for mobile devices, a
typical Android application is designed for a smartphone or a tablet PC running on
the Android OS.Android apps are written in the Java programming language and use
Java core libraries. They are first compiled to Dalvik executables to run on the Dalvik
virtual machine, which is a virtual machine specially designed for mobile devices.

Android apps are available in the Google Play Store (formerly known as the Android
Market), in the Amazon Appstore and on various Android App-focused sites, and the
apps can run on Android smartphones, tablets, Google TV and other devices .

2. PROBLEM DEFINITION

This application is being made so that the students can be updated about all the
latest information of the college and also the CSE department and addition to that
the guests or non-students can know about the college, particularly the CSE
department. This will help the college and its’ CSE Department get a recognition on
a global level. The parents of students can come to know about the structure of
courses the subjects the way their child is being taught. The students can know
about all the necessary info like attendance, marks, exam routine, results, and
notices. It also gives an idea to everyone about the companies that come to the
college for recruitment and workshops. A few of these have been implemented till
now and the rest in years to come. It helps one stay in touch with the teachers of the
college and to know about the latest researches and news happening in college. A
formal virtual student-teacher interaction platform is also established.
 3. ARCHITECTURE
Android is structured in the form of a software stack comprising applications, an
operating system, run-time environment, middleware, services and libraries. This
architecture can, perhaps, best be represented visually as outlined in Figure 8-1. Each
layer of the stack, and the corresponding elements within each layer, are tightly
integrated and carefully tuned to provide the optimal application development and
execution environment for mobile devices.
