Missing Persons App: an Android app for missing people
During the last years, the smartphone industry has really advanced by leaps and bounds. In 2017, the number of smartphone users was 2.4 billion, with an increase of 10,8% respecting the year before. As we can see, there is a huge market, and more people get used to use the mobile phone to do daily things such as online shopping, visiting webpages or sending emails. The following project covers an aspect that very few people worked in, the people who disappeared. Nowadays, the data of disappeared people has not been digitized, or if it has, is outdated in the current times. The aim is to create an Android application for disappeared people. The app will collect and share information among users, whose use will be helping in the research of people who disappeared. Also, the idea is to offer a database and allow people to access data easily. In this document is explained all the process of making the app, starting from analysing similar apps in the actual market, all the technologies that were used (from backend to frontend) and in which order was the app made. Finally, we will test the app and see how it works. Also, a manual for the backend and the app will be attached.
