Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

The thesis project aims to develop an android mobile application that allows students to scan a provided QR Code for attendance checking by verifying the student’s current location with the QR Code provider’s location, which is stored in a database. If the location matches or is in the acceptance range provided, students can submit their attendance. The main component of this thesis project is an android mobile application, but a complete system must be constructed for it to function correctly. This system must include a web application developed using EJS, CSS, and JavaScript, a server developed using the Express.js framework connected to the NoSQL database MongoDB, and an android mobile application implemented using Java in Android Studio IDE. The implementation of the Android mobile application includes core importing libraries for Android, such as the Code scanner library and Google Maps API. The theoretical section in the first part defines various technologies, frameworks, and libraries for Android, including the NoSQL database MongoDB and the RESTful API technology used as the server on our system. The system development and mobile application development phases are covered in the practical part, along with the development structure and examples of pertinent source codes to justify the implementation phases. The final portion of this paper includes testing, improvements, and advantages of utilising the system.
