 ABSTRACT

A stopwatch is a simple app that is used to record or measure time. It has mainly 4 main
functions as shown below: Start: To start the stopwatch time from the beginning or from the
pause state. Stop: To stop the stopwatch time and reset the time to zero. This stopwatch project is
a software and hardware co-design. A stopwatch is a simple app that is used to record or measure
time. It has mainly 3 main functions Start: To start the stopwatch time from the beginning or
from the pause state Stop: To stop the stopwatch time and reset the time to zero. And reset
according to our project we are able to use the best method that can be used to write the program
the main reason is we can know the time can be executed.

INTRODUCTION

Stopwatch is one of the most important and useful thing for all the athletics and all the persons
who is preparing them selves for online examination. In the current world when android is on its
top most of persons use android applications to do their personal tasks. It is is another simple
android project idea that will work the same as a normal handheld timepiece that measures the
time elapsed between its activation and deactivation. This application will have three buttons that
are: start, stop, and hold. This application would need to use Java and XML. For this application,
we need to set the timer properly as it is initially set to milliseconds, and that should be
converted to minutes and then hours properly. The users can use this application and all they’d
need to do is, start the stopwatch and then stop it when they are done. They can also pause the
timer and continue it again when they like. It is a simple app that is used to record or measure
time. It has mainly 4 main functions as shown below: Start: To start the stopwatch time from the
beginning or from the pause state. Stop:To stop the stopwatch time and reset the time to zero.
The stopwatch we designed is a time-keeping device that is meant to measure the time elapsed
from the start to end of any event.

1.1Overview
A stopwatch is a handheld timepiece designed to measure the amount of time that elapses
between its activation and deactivation. A large digital version of a stopwatch designed for
viewing at a distance, The timing functions are traditionally controlled by two buttons on the
case. Pressing the top button starts the timer running, and pressing the button a second time stops
it, leaving the elapsed time displayed. A press of the second button then resets the stopwatch to
zero. In the process of surveying existing sports stopwatch apps, we have downloaded, tried and
analyzed a lot of existing stopwatch apps from different global app stores. This is a stopwatch
app overview with a certain minimum quality or app store ranking.

1.2 Objective
The main objective of this project is it gives people to learn and develop knowledge in designing
the application. To appreciate the hardware and software interfacing of a system.To design, write
and test an programming which meets a technical specification in a given target system.To
demonstrate the project how it works and build a fully functional stopwatch.To train and create a
new project from the hardware and simplicity studio software.

1.3 Organization of the report

Chapter 1: It contains the introduction about project, overview of the project, aim and objectives
of the project.
Chapter 2: Discussed about the different types of hardware and software which are used to carry
out the project.
Chapter 3: Discussed about design, implementation and flow chart of the project
Chapter 4: Discussed about experiment results obtained from the experiment

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

2.1. HARDWARE:
 Android v9.0 (pie)
 6 Gb Ram
 Display screen with working touch
 1 Gb Storage

2.2. SOFTWARE:
2.2.1. Android Studio:
It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that Android use to develop
applications. It incorporates with the IntelliJ IDEA, a Java Integrated Development Environment
when you edit codes and develop tools.  Android Studio provides more features that enhance our
productivity while building Android apps.

Each project in Android Studio contains one or more modules with source code files and
resource files. Types of modules include:

 Android app modules

 Library modules
 Google App Engine modules
By default, Android Studio displays your project files in the Android project view. This view is
organized by modules to provide quick access to your project's key source files. All the build
files are visible at the top level under Gradle Scripts and each app module contains the following
folders:

 Manifests: Contains the AndroidManifest.xml file.

 Java: Contains the Java source code files, including JUnit test code.
 Res: Contains all non-code resources, such as XML layouts, UI strings, and bitmap
images.

CHAPTER 3

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

A stopwatch is widely used in the sports sector for time-keeping, having a stopwatch in the
cellular phone becomes very handy for coaches, trainers, runners, and other sports professionals.
Apart from sports, a stopwatch is used in the education sector, for time-keeping during quizzes,
debate competitions. The design and the Java Code of a stopwatch are very elementary. There
are three buttons in the userinterface. First, the “start” button is used for starting the timer from
an initial zero second. Second, the “stop” button, which can also be named the “pause” button,
stops the increment but doesn’t take the reading back to zero. If you click on the “start” button
again, the timer will increment from the value at which it was stopped earlier. The last button is
the “reset” button, it sets the value of the timer back to zero seconds

FLOW CHART

DESIGN
The UI design can be created easily with the help of the following UI components: A Linear
Layout with a vertical orientation that acts as the parent. A Text View for displaying the timer. A
Linear Layout with horizontal orientation to hold the three buttons

IMPLEMENTATION
Create a new project and name it. We have named our project as stopwatch. After doing so we
will see two files opened in front of us, So in the file activity_main.xml.After writing the code
for activity_main.xml we’ll write the code in MainActivity.java file. After writing both the code
we’re ready to run the android project.

CONCLUSION

The stopwatch feature allows you to measure elapsed times. By using the corresponding buttons,
the stopwatch can be started, stop and reset. After we done with our project about stopwatch we
are able to learn and develop knowledge. We are also able learn how to developed skills and
knowledge in systematic design approach. According to our project we are able to use the best
method that can be used to write the program the main reason is we can know the time can be
executed.
