Mobile application and web application for input of measurements

Abstract

This thesis is based on developing an application that would enable entering measurements to the database without the need for writing the measurements down to a piece of paper but rather utilising a mobile app for this task. The purpose of this application is to ease the workload of field workers. The application consists of a web application built by using the Google App Engine platform, Python programming language and Jinja2 templating language. The web application's purpose is more that of administrative nature. It includes adding, editing and deleting users, measurement types and the measurements themselves. The second part of the application is the mobile application that's built for Android and developed in Java programming language. The purpose of the mobile application is sending measurements to the web application. All the tools and technologies used in developing this application and thus achieving my goal of making the field workers' job easier are described in this thesis
