Mobile communications have seen a dramatic rise in user acceptance, and the emergence of open‑source mobile platforms has spurred growing interest in developing mobile applications. The paper proposes an Android application development approach built on open‑source software and an open‑source development environment. The approach is implemented as a student project using open‑source software and development tools. The study reports the experiences and lessons learned from the project.
In the last decades we have witnessed an enormous increase in the end user acceptance of mobile communications. The appearance of mobile platforms based on the open source software has rapidly increased the interest into mobile applications development. In this paper, we present an approach to the Android mobile phone application development that is based on an open source software and open source development environment. The work presented here is the outcome of a student project. We outline the experiences and lessons learned.
