2 INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW University Malaysia Pahang s (UMP) students from Faculty of Mechanical are studying Computer Programming as faculty subject. Computer Programming is a useful skill for engineer nowadays. This is because works or any design can be easily done by computerized system when there is a complex calculation and manufacturing process. For example, in the laboratory of the research and development centre will equip with the advance computer program to obtain an accurate and precise measurement and calculation to gain success in their invention and innovation. For the venture of the smart phone in recent years, the population not only the young generation, have changed their old handphones with keypad with the smart phone and almost everyone has it. Thus, the computer programming is involved in the smart phone systems and helped the people to make everything easier and there is no limitation of the application by using the phone. Computer programming is used in the design of the application such as Andriod Apps. PROBLEM S STATEMENT We are given a project from our Computer Programming lecturer, Dr. UMMU KULTHUM BINTI JAMALUDIN to invent an application for Android smart phone to facilitate the certain task of the daily usage. PROBLEM S INDENTIFICATION The application that we choose for this project must be fulfilled the requirement of the project given and aim to make the tasks easier and convenient to organize by the users. It has to get use of the computer programming skill that we learn in the class and apply in the design of the Andriod Application. Regarding to the title or form of the application, we discussed and suggested a few of applications to be designed. To make sure the application is user-friendly, we made a survey within our friends. They were willing to use an application that can help them with a recorder or

3 notebook to write down the events in the academic and also daily life. After collecting the opinion of the suitable application, we have decided to design an application in note-taking form. The name of this application is GGPAD (Go Green Pad) as it can reduces the usage of the paper to save the resources of the Earth. OBJECTIVES For any project, the objective is the main element that must have. Therefore, in this project, I aim to design the suitable application that can make the user s daily task more convenient. The other objective is to focus on the understanding the usage of the computer programming in the real life such as inventing an application for smart phones. Moreover, we can learn and get the chance to explore the Andriod App Inventor for a very first time. SCOPE The main scope in this project is using the Andriod AppInventor. Online resources and Powerpoint documents are the sources which provided important information for this research. Since the online access is very convenient, I am searching and studying the application s inventing tutorial that specialized for the Andriod App. Besides that, I find the examples of the similar application such as application named as Note Taker as a guideline to complete my project. MAIN REPORT Flowchart

4 Start Add the detail of the event Type the detail of the event. No Save Item? Yes The event is saved! Display it in a list Yes Delete Item? Yes Pick an event No Continue Adding? No End

5 Design When the app is open, the user will enter the events into the textbox. When it is done, the user will choose to save the text or reedit again without pressing the save button. The application saved the text according to the timeline and displayed in a list for the user to monitor their tasks easily. This application allows the user to remove the items and able to select the desired items from the display list. After removing, it displays only the existed texts. If the user chooses to continue adding the events, the user can type another event in the textbox. The application can ends with pressing the return buttons only. RESULT

6 DISCUSSION In the block editor, there has some computer programming concepts which has being taught by the lecturer in the Computer Programming course. The following concepts used are shown below: I used the Appinventor block editors to apply some standard set of blocks as follows: Definition blocks-these blocks are used to define some variable at any time to make some of the procedural calls, etc.this will be the same concept with the declaration of the variables in the c programming. And it also can call the functions that stated before to complete the program. Text blocks-these blocks are used to perform different set of operations related to text like compare, split, convert to uppercase or lowercase, etc.the textbox allows the user to put the input in form of text by themselves, same as scanf(). List Blocks-These blocks are used to perform list operations like making a list, selecting a list item, inserting into a list, deletion from a list, etc.the list blocks as a list maker, the will functions to arrange the print out item into a list. For similarity, arrays are used to store the previous values and display it when we need to. It can print() the results. Logic Blocks-These blocks are used to perform logical operations like and or and not.the c programming is also based on complex logic. It performs logically to print out the accurate outputs. Control Blocks-These blocks are used to perform operations like if-else, condition, foreach, range, etc.we can control the output of the program when launching, it is same concept with the selective statements such as if, if else if, if else and switch. CONCLUSION After the project is completed, we have learnt the way and process to develop a mobile application. We used to download it from the ready marketed applications from the PlayStore and installed it in the smart phones without thinking about how it is been developed, we might think that we don t have the chance or the intelligence to develop the applications like they did. The App Inventor from MIT really helped us to broaden our minds, we can develop the applications by ourselves when we don t really have to go specific lessons. With the tutorial and hard work to do the trial and error, we managed to produce our application, it might look simple but it needs the effort to program it. It is an interesting experience and what technology can do is unlimited.
