Title of the bachelor’s thesis: Development of an E-service App on the Android Platform (Front-end)
Supervisor: Väisänen Veijo
Term and year of completion: Autumn 2016 Number of pages: 45
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to make it as easy as possible for parents and guardians to get the services of caregivers or a nanny for their children. My aim was to reduce the problems of time and availability in seeking the service of a nanny.
The idea of this thesis was formed by me and my thesis project partner due to our personal experiences in Nigeria. As graduating students in the field of information technology, we saw the need to solve this problem with our acquired skills.
The BabyShift application was developed on the Android Studio version 2.2.0.12 with Android API 21 using Java programming language and SQLite for the database. The application was created with two different user interfaces, one for parents and the other for nannies. Nannies will be able to register, sign-in and make business profiles regarding to their services and also parents will be able to register, sign-in and search for a suitable nanny who meets their requirements using a location and a username as search criteria.
The marketing strategy was based on the Nigerian market and it was carried out in our previous study at Oulu University of Applied Sciences.
Finally, the development of the BabyShift application came to realisation, the application ran successfully on all Android mobile phones. However, the payment module for the application will be incorporated as the BabyShift application is open for a further development.
