 ABSTRACT

The world is facing one of the worst pandemic, the outbreak of COVID-19,
we all are aware of that. Hence, the COVID-19 Tracking Project exists
because every person deserves access to the most complete COVID-19 data
update on day to day that can be assembled.

This app shows global, country wise as well as state wise total Covid-19
cases, using pie charts, and stats about recovered cases, deaths, critical cases,
active cases and affected countries, so that people can get a clear idea of the
global stats of corona virus.

This app allows the user to register for getting vaccinated, to view total
number of vaccination done each day, and to view day to day updated news
about novel Covid-19, in the news section of the app.

This app also shows basic information about corona virus, it’s most common
symptoms, less common symptoms, serious symptoms and prevention
measures with pictorial representation.

 1. INTRODUCTION

In this time of pandemic, every human being are worried about the
global stats , about the increasing number of corona cases day to day,
both globally and regionally. Everyone deserves to know about the
curve of increasing or the decreasing graph of Covid-19 cases,
along with their symptoms, prevention measures, up to date daily Covid
news and the vaccination process. Along with that everybody deserves
a easier way to register for vaccination process just by a click of a
button.

Android has a dictionary meaning of being a human that resembles

automation. The true character of its name is it’s the Google created
software stack for creating comprehensive Mobile Applications and
Software to realize the full potential of one’s Mobile handset and its
possibilities. A mobile software application developed for use on devices
powered by Google's Android platform is called as an android application.

This app shows global, country wise as well as state wise total Covid-19
cases, using pie charts, and stats about recovered cases, deaths, critical cases,
active cases and affected countries, so that people can get a clear idea of the
global stats of corona virus. This app allows the user to register for getting
vaccinated, to view total number of vaccination done each day, and to view
day to day updated news about novel Covid-19, in the news section of the
app. This app also shows basic information about corona virus, it’s most
common symptoms, less common symptoms, serious symptoms and
prevention measures with pictorial representation.

 2.REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

1) Android Studio: Android has a dictionary meaning of being a human

that resembles automation. The true character of its name is it’s the Google
created software stack for creating comprehensive Mobile Applications and
Software to realize the full potential of one’s Mobile handset and its
possibilities. A mobile software application developed for use on devices
powered by Google's Android platform is called as an android application.

2) SDK: SDK stands for software development kit or devkit for short. It's a
set of software tools and programs used by developers to create
applications for specific platforms. SDK tools will include a range of things,
including libraries, documentation, code samples, processes, and guides
that developers can use and integrate into their own apps. SDKs are
designed to be used for specific platforms or programming languages.Thus
we would need an Android SDK toolkit to build an Android app and an iOS
SDK to build an iOS app.

3) Libraries:

I) Volley Library: Volley is an HTTP library that makes networking for

Android apps easier and most importantly, faster. It helps to access the
data we get from rest API, as they are in JSON format.

II) Eaze Graph: Used for making pie charts for the User Interface.

8
 III) Glide: It is an image loader library for Android Studio developed by
bumptech and is a library that is recommended by Google.

4) Rest API: Used for extracting real time data from the internet.

5) JDK: Since Android apps are written in Java, you will need the
Oracle Java compiler and libraries on your system. These are
collectively called the Java Development Kit or "JDK" for short.

6) Operating System Required: Windows

7) Platform used for coding: Java, XML

8) Firebase: Firebase is categorized as a NoSQL database program, which

stores data in JSON-like documents.

9) Emulator – An application that duplicates the functionality of

hardware or operating systems for testing purposes.

10) Real-time data – Information that is delivered immediately after

collecting it without any delay.

 3 Literature Survey

Motivated by the article- Attributes and predictors of Long-COVID:

analysis of COVID cases and their symptoms collected by the Covid
Symptoms Study App

Link-
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.19.20214494v1

In the paper the authors stated - “Reports of “Long-COVID”, are rising

but little is known about prevalence, risk factors, or whether it is
possible to predict a protracted course early in the disease. We analysed
data from 4182 incident cases of COVID-19 who logged their
symptoms prospectively in the COVID Symptom Study app. 558
(13.3%) had symptoms lasting >28 days, 189 (4.5%) for >8 weeks and
95 (2.3%) for >12 weeks. Long-COVID was characterised by
symptoms of fatigue, headache, dyspnoea and anosmia and was more
likely with increasing age, BMI and female sex. Experiencing more
than five symptoms during the first week of illness was associated with
Long-COVID, OR=3.53 [2.76;4.50]. A simple model to distinguish
between short and long-COVID at 7 days, which gained a ROC-AUC
of 76%, was replicated in an independent sample of 2472 antibody
positive individuals. This model could be used to identify individuals
for clinical trials to reduce long-term symptoms and target education
and rehabilitation services.”

We made an app analysis the symptoms of users, giving them a

conclusion about the chances they might have Covid, along with some
additional features.

 5. SYSTEM TESTING

Tests are carried out and the results are compared with the expected
document. In the case of erroneous results, debugging is done. Using
detailed testing strategies a test plan is carried out on each module. The
various tests performed are unit testing, integration testing and user
acceptance testing.

1. Unit Testing

The software units in the system is are modules and routines that are
assembled and integrated to perform a specific function. As a part of unit
testing we executed the program for individual modules independently. This
enables, to detect errors in coding and logic that are contained within each of
the three module. This testing includes entering data that is filling forms and
ascertaining if the value matches to the type and entered into the database.
The various controls are tested to ensure that each performs its action as
required.

2.Integration Testing

Data can be lost across any interface, one module can have an adverse effect
on another, sub functions when combined, may not produce the desired
major functions. Integration testing is a systematic testing to discover errors
associated within the interface. The objective is to take unit tested modules
and build a program structure. All the modules are combined and tested as a
whole. Here the admin module, sec module and student module options are
integrated and tested. This testing provides the assurance that the application
is well integrated functional unit with smooth transition of data.

17
 3.User Acceptance Testing

User acceptance of a system is the key factor for the success of any
system. The system under consideration is tested for user acceptance by
constantly keep the records of applicants and making changes to the
details and password whenever required.

6. Project Planning
We thought of the idea to make a platform, which would make it easier for
all people to get all the collective information they would need about corona
virus, using a easy-to-handle interface.

This main goal of this app is to enable it’s user to view:

a. Basic information about Covid-19: Contains information about what

is corona virus, and all that a new user needs to know about the newly
discovered virus.

b. Symptoms: This is again divided into three subsections: Most

Common Symptoms, Less Common Symptoms, Serious Symptoms.
This section contains all the symptoms caused by the virus, using
pictorial representation.

c. Prevention: This section contains all the important ways to prevent or

slow the transmission of corona virus using pictorial representation.

d. Track Cases: Contains the Global stats of corona virus showing total
cases, recovered cases, deaths, critical cases, active cases and affected
countries, so that people can get a clear idea of the global stats of corona
virus. It also contains a pie chart depicting the above mentioned. Also
contains two buttons (track countries and track states) which allows
further analysis.

18
 e. Track Countries: It contains a search bar, where we search countries
to know the stats of a particular country. On clicking on the desired
country, a in detailed age is displayed along with graphs to show the
stats.

f. Track States: It contains a search bar, where we search states to know

the stats of a particular state. On clicking on the desired state, a in
detailed age is displayed along with graphs to show the stats.

g. News: It displays all the day to day updated news about Covid-19.

h. Symptom Checker: It asks the user a set of questions about there

health and were about of past 2 weeks, to determine the risk associated
(High/Medium/Low) with them having Covid.

i. Vaccination: This allows the user to register their name for getting
vaccinated and along with that it also lets the user view all the stats of
vaccination state wise.

7. Project Implementation

 8. CONCLUSION AND SCOPE

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion we would like to say that we have successfully made the

“Covid-19 Tracker” for some of the features like User being able to track
stats about total global cases, recovered cases, deaths, critical cases, active
cases and affected countries, so that people can get a clear idea of the global
stats of corona virus.They also get to know about basic information,
symptoms and prevention measures from the virus.

FUTURE SCOPE:

The Future Score of the app is that-

1)We would try to add option where user can add their family
members and register them for vaccine as well by adding their name and
phone number.

2) Another functionality would be that the app will automatically

notify them before 2nd dose registration by sending an SMS in the registered
phone number.

29
 9.Plagiarism Report

We would thereby state that, our report is Unique.
