Android application of quick organizer

Baxi, Poonam Satish January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Computing and Information Sciences / Daniel Andresen / The aim of this project is to develop an Android application for managing and organizing daily activities. Mobile application development is a growing trend in computer industry. Lot of desktop applications is [i.e. are] now becoming available as mobile applications with increasing demand in market. Android is one of the most popular platforms in mobile technology and gives lot of space for creative development as it is open source. There are various discussion forums and official Android development support websites that encourages mobile and tablet application development. The Quick Organizer application provides three main features for managing and organizing everyday tasks. 1. Calendar with smooth navigation buttons and flexible layout to view all calendar events. This calendar synchronizes with Google calendar and calendar application in Android device and allows user to create events in all the user calendar accounts. 2. Notes management for creating new note, viewing all notes for current month and search notes for the user account that synchronizes with the Ever Notes application. 3. Tasks management to create daily to-do lists with deadline for every task. The user can see all the tasks created with clear demarcation between complete and incomplete tasks with help of strike-out tasks when completed.

Cognitive load in smartphone calendar applications / Kognitiv belastning i smartphone kalenderapplikationer

Hellqvist, Adrian, Olsson, Tommy January 2018 (has links)
The use of smartphone applications has increased dramatically in the last decade. With the technology being ubiquitous around us it is important to reduce the required cognitive demand for interacting with the technology. A common use of smartphones is calendar applications. This paper investigates if cognitive load can be lowered by using a calendar application specifically designed with cognitive load in mind compared to the widely used Google Calendar. The hypothesis is that the application will generate a lower cognitive load in comparison. An experiment was conducted where participants were instructed to perform a primary task by following given instructions of what to do in the calendar application while also performing a secondary task. There were no significant differences in performance except for two tasks where the new app performed worse. Participants also reported a higher level of frustration for the new app which could mean that their cognitive load was slightly higher. / Användandet av smartphone applikationer har ökat dramatiskt under det senaste decenniet, eftersom att tekniken hela tiden är närvarande runt om oss så är det viktigt att minska de kognitiva kraven som behövs vid användandet. Ett vanligt användande av smartphones är kalenderapplikationer, den här studien undersöker om den kognitiva belastningen kan minskas vid användandet av en kalender app genom att använda applikation som designats med kognitiv belastning i åtanke för att sen jämföras mot Google Kalender. Hypotesen är att applikationen kommer att generera en lägre kognitiv belastning i jämförelse. Ett experiment utfördes där deltagarna instruerades att utföra en huvuduppgift som innebar att utföra givna instruktioner med uppdrag i kalendarapplikationen, samtidigt som en sekundär uppgift utfördes där deltagarna fick trycka på en knapp när en signal hördes. Det var ingen signifikant skillnad i prestation förutom i två uppgifter där appen presterade sämre, deltagarna rapporterade också en högre nivå av frustration vilket skulle kunna innebära att den kognitiva belastningen var något högre.

Calendar 2.0 : The mitigation of calendar friction

Viebke, André, Tan, Wenwei January 2013 (has links)
Calendar applications have been a primary tool for time management, although they have been slowly developed and improved. The slow development of calendar applications has created friction of usage. In this report, we propose a friction mitigation strategy for calendar applications. A set of characteristics are identified: active, intelligent, personal, extensible, information-centred and dynamic view, which describes the notion of friction. The goal is to develop a framework, supporting the prototype and providing reusable components for future development. The prototype is evaluated by participants and the result is used to conclude that friction can be mitigated to some extent. / Kalenderapplikationer är, och har varit, ett primärt verktyg för tidshantering även om de har utvecklats och förbättrats långsamt. Den långsamma utvecklingen av kalenderapplikationer har skapat en friktion vid användning. I den här rapporten föreslår vi en strategi för att mildra friktionen som skapas av kalenderapplikationer. En uppsättning av egenskaper identifieras: aktiv, intelligent, personlig, extensible (tänjbar), informations centrerad och dynamisk vy, vilka beskriver begreppet friktion. Målet är att utveckla ett ramverk som supporterar prototypen och innehåller återanvändbara komponenter för framtida utveckling. Prototypen utvärderas av användare och resultatet används för att dra slutsatsen att friktionen kan mildras i viss utsträckning.
