Client Side of the Project (Android Application)


During graphical user interface design, we took simplicity into account. Since functionality is the main purpose of the GUI design (the KISS principle), developing simple functions for user is what has been done so far.

Now, we will explain the details of the user interface of the Android application.

Application Entrance Point

The application will start by double clicking the icon presented to the user on the main menu and “Conqi” will be the user friendly abbreviation of the application name “Conqueror”.









Main Window

This is the menu of our application. The user will be able to take a picture, view the gallery consisting of the pictures she had taken via Conqi and see her location on the satellite view of the map.








Take Picture Window

This is the screen the user will encounter, when she has already chosen the “Take Picture” option. After taking the picture, she will see the still image of the landmark with information given below it. Additionally, she will be supplied with more options with menu button of the phone.







More Options Menu

If the user wishes to see other options and she has already pressed menu button, she will encounter with this screen. Through this screen, she will be able to get more information about the landmark that she has previously viewed. Furthermore, she may send the tagged picture to other mobile phone users. Additionally she may save the picture to her phone if she chooses “Save” option.




View Gallery Window

When user chooses to view the gallery, she will be able to see the pictures in the SD card of the phone which are taken by Conqi itself. The user will be able to display them and send a picture via MMS if she chooses an individual picture.





View Gallery Window Displaying an Individual Picture

While the user is displaying the gallery, if she selects an individual picture, she will face this screen. She will be provided with “Send as MMS” option which enables her to send the picture to someone else via MMS.








Locate Me Window

If the user chooses “Locate Me” option in the main menu, she will be able to see her location on the satellite view of the map. She will be able to wander around and and zoom in or zoom out in the map.
