Android-based Class Attendance Monitoring
In our generation today, life is greatly improved by advance technologies such as software, hardware and inventions that are created to ease our daily lives. One of the new trends in technology today is Android OS which can be found on smartphones and tablet computers. The aim of this study is to apply these advance technologies to help us people in academic environment. The most common basic issue in school management is checking of the student’s attendance. Calling roll numbers or names of the students like traditional ways has turned out to be an old thing. Implementing such a system to the academic environment using an Android phone can help the professors to ease their daily routine in checking the attendance of his/her students. The main purpose in creating this application is to make the work of the professor to be simpler and automated and to maximize the time in teaching his/her lesson. Through his/her Android phone, he/she can scan the ID of his/her students in checking their attendance. The application software that will be implemented in an Android phone includes a database system that will insert, delete, update, and query. The database that we’ll be using is the SQLite. From the article “An Overview of Android SQLite Databases” (n.d.), SQLite is an embedded, relational database management system (RDBMS). Most relational databases (Oracle and MySQL) are standalone server processes that run independently, and in cooperation with, applications that require database access. SQLite is referred to as embedded because it is provided in the form of a library that is linked into applications. As such, there is no standalone database server running in the background. All database operations are handled internally
