Developing An Android-based Mobile Application for Temporary Animal Shelter Activities

Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, studies on mobile devices have increased. By combining smart systems with mobile devices, mobile devices have gained simple computer functionality and have begun to simplify human life. In this study, an Android-based mobile application has been developed in order to carry out activities related to the animals in the temporary animal shelter more effectively and easily. The system consists of two main components: web server and mobile application. The location of the animal shelter, information on the animal shelter, and data on employees and registered animals can enter this system. Data management has been performed independently from the application via web server. Records created on the website are reflected in the mobile application. The mobile application part has been developed with the Java programming language that can be used in the Android operating system for the use of local animal protection volunteers and community members. The application is based on location including the selection of provinces, districts, animal shelters. Thus, necessary activities related to temporary animal shelters can be carried out more effectively and easily.
