Design a WLAN mini access point in the android platform

Mobile as a computing platform is becoming more and more popular. The amount of such devices shipped every year is growing rapidly, more than 1.2 billion in 2009. At the same time the WLAN is being widely adapted at various locations like campuses, meeting rooms, stations, etc. Currently almost all smart phones come with the support for the WLAN. However, most the mobile devices can only behavior as a client in the WLAN. It would be a remarkable feature if the mobile device is able to function as an Access Point (AP) and a modem which forwards data between the 3G network and the WLAN. Android designed for handheld devices has become a popular and powerful platform in both the industry and amateur developer community. Presently there is no WLAN AP mode supported in the Android platform, therefore it’s an interesting task for us to implement such a function. We start with studying the software AP hostapd. We set up a WLAN with hostapd running in a Ubuntu Linux platform, instead of a hardware AP. By doing this we figure out the elements needed to achieve the software AP functionality. Next we explore the Android building system, understand the mechanism the building system works, and learn the way add new modules that we prepare to add into the platform. With these basics we take all the elements needed into Android source code hierarchy and build them into the final executables. Testing cases are given both in Ubuntu Linux platform and the Android platform. To make the user experience better we design an application in the Android platform for controlling the AP built from hostapd and other components. Through the process we have done many experiments and have gained rich experience and knowledge in the Linux operating system, Linux wireless implementation, wireless drivers, Android building system, and Android application development. Some of them are enhancement to the existing knowledge in various websites, and some are new to all the members in the development community. These are all recorded in the thesis. For the final testing we succeed in both steps. First, the peripheral stations can discover the AP in the Android platform and all stations are able to connect to it. There is no difference between connection to the AP in the Android platform and connection to a normal hardware AP device. Secondly, the data packets are successfully transmitted between stations, which means there is no barrier in the AP in the Android platform for providing data service. From the view of networking layering, we conclude that we succeed in both link layer and application layer

The research examines and analyses data from an android Samsung phone. A framework has been developed to illustrate measures and steps to be observed in the extraction of data from mobile devices

Migration of Native Android Applications to HTML5

Tanapaeval on margata mobiilseadmete ning mobiilrakenduste turu kiiret kasvu. Mobiiltarkvara arenduse protsessi alustamisel tihti kerkib esimesena platvormi valiku kusimus, mis tavaliselt pohineb kasutajate noudluse statistikal. See omakorda tekitab piiranguid rakenduste kasutamisel. Teoreetiliselt antud probleemi lahenduseks sobiks tehnoloogia, mis voimaldab kirjutada mitmel platvormil funktsioneerivaid rakendusi. Selleks esineb mitmeid meetodeid, kuid igauhel on tosiseid puudujaake. Mobiilseadmetele moeldud Flash ei arendata enam Adobe poolt, puhas web'i rakendus vajab uhendust Internetiga ning seal ei ole voimalik kasutada natiivseid seadme omadusi. HTML5 on uus tehnoloogia, mis toetab mitmeplatvormilist lahenemist, vimaldab tootada vorguvaliselt ning kasutada seadme mitmeid natiivseid omadusi. Selle magistritoo eesmargiks on uurida voimalust konverteerida Android natiivset tarkvara HTML5-ks ning arendada rakenduse prototuupi, mis teeks antud operatsiooni voimalikuks. Kindlasti esineb teatud rakenduste hulk, mis kasutavad Android platvormi spetsii alisi omadusi, mis ei allu konverteerimiseks, kuna HTML5 neid ei toeta. Sellest lahtuvalt eimesena tuleks teha kindlaks, millised programmid sobivad konverteerimiseks. Jargmine samm oleks uurida vahendeid mida kasutada eesmargi saavutamiseks. Viimasena on konverteri prototuupi disain ja arendus.Mobile devices market as well as mobile application market is growing rapidly. When starting mobile application development, often the first question is which platform to choose? This consequently leads to limitations in software usage. Theoretically, this problem can be solved by cross-platform technology. There are several methods to "write once run anywhere" application; however there are several major drawbacks for each of them. Flash for mobile devices is no longer supported for Adobe, mobile website solution requires Internet connection and have no access to native mobile capabilities. HTML5 is a new technology that tries to solve cross platform in-compatibility, supports offline web-applications and allows using some native mobile features. Despite the fact it is still under development, the support of the browsers is really good even on mobile devices. As a result, HTML5 have a potential to become major tool for cross-platform development. The goal of this work is to investigate possibilities for converting Android native application to HTML5 and write prototype application which will do the conversion. Definitely there are applications that are using Android specific features which are not supported by HTML5, so the first step will be defining scope of application that can be converted. Next step will be investigation and choosing tools which can help to achieve the goal. The final step of this work will be designing and developing prototype which performs conversion
