Household Veritas - A platform that provides household services

Abstract - “The demand for household services such as plumbing, electrical, electronic, mechanical, pest control, home paint, and machine repairing has increased rapidly in recent years. However, finding reliable and efficient service providers can be a challenge for customers, especially in emergencies. To address this issue, the development of an Android app for household services has become essential. Android is an open and free operating system based on Linux, which is mainly used for mobile terminals such as smartphones and panel computers. The app can be developed to allow users to access various household services at their fingertips. The app can include features such as a list of available service providers, their ratings, and reviews. It can also provide customers with real-time updates on the status of their service requests, including the expected time of arrival of the service provider.“

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT

The proposed Android app for household services is intended to make it simple for customers to access a variety of services, including plumbing, electrical, electronic, mechanical, pest control, home paint, and machinerepairing.Theappaimstoprovidea platformfor all kinds of household services, which is especially importantinurbanareaswherepeopleareoftenbusyand havedifficultyfindingserviceprovidersintheirlocalities.

The Android app will enable customers to search for services based on their location, view service providers' profiles, and contact them directly. The app's GPS feature will allow users to locate service providers in their area and choose from a list of available providers. Customers canthenscheduleaserviceforaspecificdateandtime.

4. METHODOLOGY

In order to define the problem in detail and create a solution to it, the app is coded and then it is checked that whether it meets all the requirements, whether it is accordingtothesetstandards.

● Understandtherequirements:

In response to the goal of assisting those impacted by various issues, we have taken the initiative to gather relevantdataonagenciesthatcouldpotentiallyutilizeour system. To commence the development process, it is crucialtocomeupwithawell-thought-outideaorconcept for the app. It is imperative to evaluate the feasibility of transformingtheconceptintoa workableandsustainable app that can cater to the needs of the intended audience.

Byensuringthattheappideaisthoroughlyscrutinized,we can create a high-quality app that meets the needs of its usersandcontributestothebettermentoftheirlives..

● Conductresearch:

To provide a more effective solution, we conducted a thorough study of existing options and their limitations. Ourgoal wastodevelopa superiorsystemthataddresses theshortcomingsofpreviousapproaches.Inparticular,we focused on the development of Android applications for household services. Our research introduces the Android platform and its unique features, and provides a detailed description of the Android application framework from a developer'sperspective.Byleveragingthisknowledge,we aim to create an innovative solution that meets the needs ofourusers.

● Solutiondesign:

Aftergatheringalltheinformationabouttherequirements and available technologies and resources, we begin the process of designing the overall architecture of the platform, including the database, the interface users and theservicesthatcouldbeprovided.

● BuildthePlatform:

TheAndroidappiscreatedusingAndroidStudio,whichis theofficialIntegratedDevelopmentEnvironment(IDE)for Android app development. The source code of the app is written in Java, a popular programming language for Android development due to its object-oriented nature and the availability of a large number of libraries and frameworks for Android development. When the Java source code is compiled using a Java compiler, it is convertedintoJavaclassfiles.Theseclassfiles,alongwith all the resources of the app, are then packed into a .apk file,whichcanbeinstalledonanydevice.

To build the Android app, we used a combination of an implementation library, server program, and platform UI solutions. These solutions were tweaked and tested iteratively as they were built, ensuring that the app was bothfunctionalanduser-friendly.

● TestandValidate:

The platform has been tested with real-world data to verify that it is accurate, efficient, and meets the defined requirements.

● Deployment:

5.1 Architectural Design

Aformal architecture description isa representation of a system that is structured to support the system's behaviorandreasoning.

5.2 Modular Design

Modulardesign,alsoknownas"modularityindesign,"is adesignphilosophythatinvolvesbreakingdownasystem into smaller, reusable components called modules. These modulesaredesignedtoberelativelyindependentofeach other, simpler than the original system, and can be modified, replaced, or exchanged between different systems . Modular design is commonly used in software engineering, where it involves breaking down software into multiple independent modules, each of which can be developed and compiled separately. However, modular design is not limited to software engineering, as it can be applied to other fields such as product design and construction.

Fig5.1:Representsthearchitecturaldesign

Fig.:5.1 refers to the process of defining the overall structure and components of a system. In the case of a mobile application connected to a server and database, this architecture would likely involve multiple components and their respective interactions. The mobile application would act as the front-end component, through which users interact with the system. The server would act as the back-end component, responsible for processing user requests and generating responses. The database would store the system's data and provide a means for retrieving and modifying it. These components would be connected through various communication channels,suchasmobileinternetconnection,toenablethe systemtofunctionasacohesivewhole.

Fig.:5.2 depicts a powerful design approach that can be applied to a wide range of fields and industries. By breaking down complex systems into simpler, reusable modules, modular design can help to improve efficiency, organization, and flexibility in design and development processes.
