Developing a location based reminder application on android platform

Abstract

Most of the reminder applications available today in mobile phones are time and date based. In which the user has to save the time and date of when he wants to be reminded about in the reminder. If the reminder is ON, the device continuously tries to match the device time and date with the saved time and date, and the user will be alerted if it is a match. But in many cases the user will not be aware about the time and date, but he will be aware about the place where he wants the reminder. In this project, I have tried to design an application which gives alert about the reminder when he enters into the geographical region specified in the reminder. I have discussed about the android technology used in this application such as GPS and SQLite Database technology. I have also tried to provide additional features such as tone and vibration to catch user attention so that he does not miss the alert.
