 Abstract

The era of mobile technology opens the windows to the android app. The
websites are vanishing and the mobile phones are emerging . It’s the time to
change from conventional websites to apps, which has become the part of our
daily routine.
The smartphone industry has been steadily developing and growing since 2008,
both in market size and in number of models and vendors. The strong operating
systems of smartphones make possible multimedia functionality, wider software,
and the internet including web browsing. They also support core phone functions
like text messaging and voice calls.
The presence of mobile apps on phones can be likened to be the decorations
on a cake because they make mobile phones enjoyable and fun. Mobile apps
are unlimited in number with usage that cuts across all walks of life and with
people wanting more and more of these apps for easy lifestyle and living .
Presently, the use of mobile apps can be seen in areas such as
communication, education, cooking, social media, shopping, business
(money making), matrimony, and banking. On daily basis individuals seek for
updated versions of these apps.

Aim and Introduction:-

The cumulative progress of mobile technology, the availability and access to
high speed internet and the remarkable communicative interface in these
devices results into a whole level of new and innovative experience mobile
computing. This is made possible through the development of mobile
applications (mobile apps).I am Introducing UnitConvertor App that converts
a Kilogram(kg) value to Pounds(lbs).
Kilogram
Kilogram is the most used unit for weight measurement in day-to-day life. It is
the SI unit for the measurement of mass. It equals the mass of an object which
has a weight of 1000 grams or 35.274 ounces. It is denoted by the symbol kg. It
is used to measure the weight of bigger objects and adults. 1 kilogram is
represented by the symbol 1 kg.
Pound
Pound is a frequently used unit to measure the mass and weight of an object. It
is an Imperial or US Customary unit for measurement of mass. 1 Pound is equal
to the mass of an object which has a weight of 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is
denoted by the symbol lb. It is used to measure the weight of small objects. 1
pound is represented by the symbol 1 lb.

Problem Statement:- As we know Kg is the standard unit for measurement of

mass. But in every region in world have it’s own defined unit for measurement of
mass. The local people of the region are familiar with their own defined units.
Therefore it is difficult for local people to use standard units in daily basis. Many
people don’t know how to convert Kilogram to Pounds, even if they know it
skipped from their minds the same as we forgot how many millilitres are there in
one litre. Then we ran to google and searched on it. Then convert one unit to
another particular unit.
Identification of the Need:- As we come to know about the problem how it is
difficult to convert a unit to another defined unit. It is very time consuming
process and there is huge chance of getting error. To solve this problem I develop
a UnitConvertor application that help user to convert a value from Kilogram to
Pounds. The Answer is always accurate. The user have to put a number which
he/she wanted to converted instead of doing long calculations. They
automatically get an answer within seconds.

Study of the Pre-existing solutions:- There are many applications that are
present in market but they are very complex to use for normal people. These apps
include every single tool that convert your desired unit to particular unit.
Although it is good, but it is not for no use for the people who just wanted to
convert units from Kg to Pounds. These kinds of apps eat a large memory space of
your phone. So, I have developed an app that only convert a Kg value to Pound
value. It is for who only want to convert a Kg value to Pounds.

Identify the required specifications:- This app will run in every android
phones.

Find the related software:- For any App Development there are two big
software for its development. The very first is Android Studio and second is
Flutter. I used Android Studio for this app.

Sketch the design process:- I develop very simple app. It includes only
a button ,a textview and a editview .

My Learning:- This is my first app. I learned how applications are designed and
work in our mobile phones. I learned how to place buttons, textview, images in
our applications and how to place them in correct way by using ConstraintLayout.
