Abstract:
Timetable/meeting joiner is an android
application. This holds the records of the
schedule of all week. This also holds the
time of the meetings scheduled on google
meet. This application helps you to join
the correct meeting without trying to find
the correct link. Every one of the
information is put away in an XML file.
1. Introduction:
As in growing technology day by day,
we are moving to the easy way of life.
This application is being one of it. This
application’s main aim is to provide links
to the schedule.
Nowadays due to the pandemic we have
been taking online classes. Most of the
times we forget what class we have and
when, even if we do remember that we
have to find the meeting link and then join
at the appropriate time. This application
keeps a record of all that and helps the
student.
A: Android:
It is a Linux Based Operating system
which was founded in PALO ALTO of
CALIFORNIA in 2003.
It has developed a lot in the past 15 years
and made primarily for touch screen
devices.
It is the most popular platform to build
apps, as most of the market is using
android and its very easy to use and
efficient. Some features of android are
that it can be highly customized, multi-
tasking, multi-touch, storage, reasonable
price, high degree of ease.
It has the largest installed base of any
mobile platform and is still growing
fast. Every day another million users
power up their Android-powered
devices for the first time and start
looking for apps, games, and other
digital content.
Online classes have grown in 2020
and they are not going anywhere even
when the lockdown lifts and we resume
offline studying. Lots of universities
will keep this as an option and meeting
joiner application will help students.
B: Traditional method of managing
timetables:
Earlier people used to note down
their timetables and just put it somewhere
where they could easily see it and since
not many online classes were going on
before this year. This application is fairly
new. People like applications for
everything and that is why I believe this
application would be of much help to
people.
2. Survey/Previous work
There are numerous app in the markets
now to give alarm or notifications or
alerting the user like Alarmme, pusher,
Notifier, Trello, todolist etc.
All those applications are either timetable
based apps or Which is one functionality in
this app.
2.1: Zoom-GMeet-Automation-Joiner [7]
Authors: Shantanu Gupta
Uploaded in 2020 September 6, on Github.
This application was developed in python
and automatically takes you to the desired
g-meet or zoom meeting at a particular
time.
Since this is not an android application
there are no similarities in the actual code
of our projects. This application also has
very basic UI while android applications
tends to have a better UI.
2.2: Arduino based Smart Alarm Mobile

This project is a smart home application
project which enables the user to set an
alarm in their house and the alarm will use
various Arduino instruments like bulbs and
fans to wake up the user the phone also
will play a tune.

This Paper is saying about a simple alarm
clock system but with using the SMS
system. The alarm will ring normally after
some time the application will send
messages to some contacts set by the user
to wake them up.

2.4: iDoRemind: A Location-Based
Reminder Application for Android [10]
Authors: Srihari Reddy, Longzhuang li
Published in 2017, Department of
Computing Sciences, Texas A&M
University-Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi,
TX, USA
In the paper, a location-based reminder
application iDoRemind is developed to
assist people in remembering and
managing their everyday activities.
iDoRemind overcomes the weakness of the
existing location-based reminder
applications by repeated alerting the user
and suggesting the alternative locations
based on users' preferences and their
current location

2.5: Framework for Student Alert
Notification [11]
Author: Sagar Gore, Nitesh Sonawane,

Published in 2017, Department of Computer
Engineering Pune, India
In this project the application is designed to
assist students in many ways to calculate
scores to keep track of schedules and tests
and also calculate the cumulative marks. It
also provides information about the
subjects and what they offer. This
application can work for multiple users too.

3. Proposed System
3.1: Technology used:
Front End: XML & Java
Backend: Java
Java: JAVA was developed by Sun
Microsystems in the year 1991, later
acquired by Oracle Corporation. It was
developed by James Gosling and Patrick
Naughton. It is a simple programming
language. Java makes writing,
compiling, and debugging programming
easy. It helps to create reusable code and
modular programs.
XML: Extensible Markup Language
(XML) is a markup language that defines a
set of rules for encoding documents in a
format that is both human-readable and
machine-readable. The World Wide Web
Consortium's XML 1.0 Specification of
1998 and several other related
specifications—all of them free open
standards—define XML.
The design goals of XML emphasize
simplicity, generality, and usability across
the Internet. It is a textual data format with
strong support via Unicode for different
human languages. Although the design of
XML focuses on documents, the language
is widely used for the representation of
arbitrary data structures such as those used
in web services.
3.2: Key features of Android Studio
Instant App run
Android studio does not take a lot of time
to run an application. It can build the
application directly in a real phone in less
than 15 seconds.
Fast Emulator
Android studio provides a variety of
emulators to select to check how the
application works on a particular phone.
Support
Android studio has support for JAVA and
KOTLIN.
Usage versatility
It allows to build application for TV,
Tablets or any device with any resolution
for android.
Built-In templates
Android also has the feature of templates
built-in. If you know to build that
accordingly that makes your task easier. it
has both pros and cons; you don’t find
every template in Android Studio. It’s an
additional feature which helps the
developer to build an application
efficiently and effectively which provide
effective solutions.
Drag and Drop
It provides with a number of views to
directly drag and drop to make design very
easy and fast.
Storage
We can easily store the file in the database.
3.3: Why Android Studio Only?
In traditional apps there was no
development freedom this was before
smartphone era the applications made for
one specific phone could not be
transported to another mobile. But android
studio has changed that along with
portability it has given hardware
independency. Very limited hardware is
required to design applications.

And also, android studio comes with an
SDK which makes the application for us.
The support of libraries makes android
studio NO.1 choice.
3.4: How the app’s data is stored in
Android Studio
Workflow of app
3.4: Working:
This android app takes the idea what was
going on from the previous mentioned
projects and tries to create something
independently unique.
In this app after you open it you find two
options to click on Timetable and Help
which are dynamically made by taking the
value from Strings file No text in the
application is Static that means no text
was written directly in the code
everything comes from program the days
of week page has 7 days and each day has
its own link to the schedule but it does not
open up a new intent every time but it
opens the same intent and changes its
values according to the data stored in the
file.
Here, you can also see that the icons
are not photos but a program to get the
first letter from the text and applying a
random color to it as letter image view.

The plans for this application are very Application for Android - IEEE Conference
clear in my mind. Right now this Publication
application does not have a user input. I
[11] IJARCCE 158.pdf
would like to change that in it first.
The application also would have an
alarm feature which would take the
input from the strings file the string
array “time”. The alarm would go off at
that time and alert the user to join the
particular link.
The application would also have a
notification feature in which when the
alarm goes off it will show and user can
go to the link directly.
The user when idle can open the
application and see which class is about
to come most recently and if the user is
in the class then the alarm would not go
off.
