Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to design an application to be a mobile app and to install the necessary tools to create the app.
Assignment Instructions
Step 1: You will install the IDE or plug-in required to convert an application in your chosen language to an Android mobile app.
Java: You will install the CodeNameOne plug-in for Eclipse. Use CodeNameOne website.
C#: You will configure your MS Visual Studio environment to include the mobility applications (Xamarin).
Web Development: You will install the Apache Cordova framework. After the framework is installed, you can use the Eclipse IDE. This is the Apache Cordova website: https://cordova.apache.org/ Videos have been provided for the installation required for each language. Be sure to follow the instructions in the video to ensure that everyone is completing the installation in the same way and to ensure that the correct plug-in or IDE is being installed. Alternatively, you may elect to install Android Studio if you are using the web development approach.
Step 2: Document the process.
After you have completed your installation, write a 1-page paper in which you discuss your installation experience and any issues you encountered. If you did experience issues, please discuss how the issues were resolved. At the bottom of the paper, include a screenshot that shows evidence of your completed installation.
Your paper should include discussion of:
1. Where the installation was found.
2. Time required for download.
3. Time required for install.
4. Any updates required after install, if any.
5. The process of creating a new mobile app project.
6. Any installation issues, if any.
7. The action taken to resolve those issues, if any.
Be sure to include both in-text citations and references as appropriate. Your sources and content should follow proper APA citation style. For more information on APA style formatting, go to Academic Writer, formerly APA Style Central, under the Academic Tools area of this course.
