The systems would also allow Hajj and Umrah administration to manage the crowd of the campaigns in an easy manner. In this paper, we propose Android/iPhone application that allows Hajj administration to monitor pilgrims using Quick Response Codes. Using quick response code application allows campaign supervisors and Hajj and Umrah employees to monitor pilgrims and guide them in case of getting lost. The application offers an easier and faster service than traditional approach used at Hajj season by human guidance. It is a very convenient service that would relief stresses of pilgrim’s relatives who worry about their relatives performing Hajj. The results show that the average score of our approach (QR) is 4.72 out of 5 comparing with traditional mobile applications indicating that the users are feeling enjoyable while using the new application features and the system is easy to use. Finally, the systems would assist in achieving the highest degree of pilgrims safety at Hajj season.展开更多

Apps have altered health services from patient’s health monitoring to specialist’s appointments and consultations from specialized health facilities. It can be argued that a healthy society can bring forth sustainable economic development to its full potential while an unhealthy society cannot. However, a free movement of people, labour and right to residence which was built across East Africa (EA) borders enabled Tanzania and Kenya borders to have enormous interactions. Subsequently, increase the risk of highly communicable diseases such as Tuberculosis and Sexually transmitted infections in such a way that medical attention is unavoidable along the borders. Statistically, Android Operating System (OS) owns 83% of Africa’s mobile OS market. In addition, 25,794,560 internet users reported by Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) together with the 22.86 million internet users provided by Kenya Digital which is equivalent to 46% and 43% of internet penetration in year 2020, disclose the need for Android mobile application for mapping health facilities both online and offline using Google map API, which will solve residents’ need to healthcare services on the presence or shortage of internet connections;using either Swahili or English language via Smartphone devices. The App incorporates Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) tool for tracking application usage which will ease Admin’s task to generate daily and monthly reports in Excel and Comma-Separated Values (CSV) formats. The developed system received positive feedback from EA citizens and residents in the Arusha region and Namanga border crossing where 90.2% of the system evaluation conducted between Dec 2020 and Apr 2021 agreed upon App usage.展开更多

The Geo-position of the user’s mobile device is utilized to produce location information in shopping application (SAGO). The flow of the application is that user searches a product, and then SAGO identifies the location and searches the product on the closest electronic local stores. The idea is to get the prices from each local store with in stock information and smartly listed product list. With the proposed smart filtering algorithm, mobile shopping application achieves precise and minimum error based on searching and listing results.展开更多

Due to advanced technology of smart phones, this application has become an important system that facilitates a large amount of people to access the information efficiently. The aim of this research is to design and implement a mobile application which is able to disseminate student’s results of their exams. We have developed this application with Java Programming Language, Phased model as Software Development methodology and Android technology [1]. This research has used following methods in terms of collecting data;This research has used following methods in terms of collecting data: documentation, interview and observation techniques. The researcher has concluded that the system has been successfully implemented using Phased Model Methodology.展开更多

Given the number of people who rely on smartphones, which can install third-party apps, it has become an increasingly important issue for end-users and service providers to ensure that both the devices and the underlying network are secure. People will become more reliant on applications such as SMS, MMS, Internet Access, Online Transactions, and so on due to such features and capabilities. Thousands of devices ranging from low-cost phones to high-end luxury phones are powered by the Android operating system, which has dominated the smartphone marketplace. It is about making it possible for people from all socioeconomic backgrounds to get and use mobile devices in their daily activities. In response to this growing popularity, the number of new applications introduced to the Android market has skyrocketed. The recent appearance of a wide range of mobile malware has caught the attention of security professionals and scholars alike. In light of the ongoing expansion of the mobile phone industry, the likelihood of it being used in criminal activities will only continue to rise in the future. This article reviews the literature on malware detection and prevention in Android mobile devices, analyzes the existing literature on major studies and tasks, and covers articles, journals, and digital resources such as Internet security publications, scientific studies, and conferences.展开更多
