Mobile Application for Online Contact Synchronization : Phone Contact Back Up Application

Abstract

The purpose of the thesis was to design and implement Online Contact Sync which is a backup of phone or SIM contacts to the server in case of phone lost or SIM damaged. Contact phone numbers corresponding to their names are stored in the remote server. The application was designed and implemented and it met all the requirement set for it. The application side was developed using Eclipse IDE which is used to write all the J2ME. The server side was written in PHP scripts and a robust data-base was developed with MySQL to store all the contacts online. The Logical and Physical design was carried out to bring up the effectiveness of the application. The application can run on all Android operating devices. The application worked successfully when tested on all the Android devices though sometimes due the large number of contacts and the limitation in the use of the school database the response time was very slow.
