INTRODUCTION
About Android Technology
Android is an Operating System for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google.
Google purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in 2005. The unveiling of the Android distribution on 5 November 2007 was announced with the founding of the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 80 hardware, software, and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices. Google released most of the Android code under the Apache License, a free software license. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further development of Android.
Android consists of a kernel based on the Linux kernel, with middleware, libraries and APIs written in C and application software running on an application framework which includes Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony. Android uses the Dalvik virtual machine with just-in-time compilation to run compiled Java code. Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the functionality of the devices. Developers write primarily in Java. There are currently more than 250,000 apps available for Android. Android Market is the online app store run by Google, though apps can also be downloaded from third-party sites.
Video calling
Android does not support native video calling, but some handsets have a customized version of the operating system that supports it, either via the UMTS network (like the Samsung Galaxy S) or over IP. Video calling through Google Talk is available in Android 2.3.4 and later. Gingerbread allows Nexus S to place Internet calls with a SIP account. This allows for enhanced VoIP dialing to other SIP accounts and even phone numbers. Skype 2.1 offers video calling in Android 2.3, including front camera support.
PROBLEM DEFINITION
It’s an important requirement in today’s world. Many people like to spend their holidays travelling to different cities and spend time with their family. In case one doesn’t know much about the city, he can be easily fooled by anyone and spoil his vacation,
The idea is to provide the user of this application all the required information one needs to know while he/she is on a vacation in order to enjoy fully and save time by not travelling to spots which are not of his interest or are not worth seeing. One does not need to spend money on any guide and depend on anybody.
PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
The purpose of this document is to provide a bounded physical representation of body of information designed with the capacity (and usually intent) to communicate .This document manifest symbolic, diagrammatic or sensory-representational information about our project. This document produces a document artifact by collecting and representing information. This document helps the user to understand about the project in an easy manner. The documentation gives an overview of functional requirements and data requirements. This document explains hardware and software Requirements, user view of product use, general constraints and guidelines of a project.
