INTRODUCTION
Android, operating system for cellular telephones and tablet computers. Android began in 2003
as a project of the American technology company Android Inc., to develop an operating system
for digital cameras. In 2004 the project changed to become an operating system for smartphones.
Android Inc., was bought by the American search engine company Google Inc., in 2005. At
Google, the Android team decided to base their project on Linux, an open source operating
system for personal computers. Android, operating system for cellular telephones and tablet

Linux, an open source operating system for personal computers.
Android is open-source code mobile phone operating system that comes out by Google in
November 2007. Its appearance has broken the traditional closed mobile phone operating system.
Anyone can modify the mobile phone operating system as well as function according to personal
preference, which is also the most attractive merit of Android. Music player in this article is
application software based on Google Android. Android’s application on mobile terminals also
completely broke the traditional understanding of the mobile terminals. And appreciate music is
one of the best ways to relieve pressure in stressful modern society life. Therefore, many kinds of
mobile phone players are also developed. However, a lot of players devote to fancy appearance
and function, while caused resources wasting to the user's mobile phone, such as large required
memory and CPU, which brings a lot of inconvenience as multiple programs running at the same
time. For the most ordinary users, many functions are useless latest knowledge, enrich oneself,
and enjoy entertainment.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
A System Requirements Specification (SRS) (also known as a Software Requirements
Specification) is a document or set of documentation that describes the features and behavior of
a system or software application. It includes a variety of elements that attempts to define the
intended functionality required by the customer to satisfy their different users.

2.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT

In this application, user will track the expenses on the android phone. The user creates groups
and tracks all his expenses incurred. In this application he can create groups with his own
phone. As internet is not always available at our disposable, if such a mobile application exits it
will be of an enumerable help at any given time of the day which will help him/her to analyze
and track his budget and save on expenses.

2.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to develop an android Group Expense Tracker which is used for
flexible data storing of the expenses. It can be used for various functions as you can scan your QR
codes that are on products, some QR codes for your own product developed, etc.

2.3 PROPOSED SOLUTION AND ADVANTAGES

Advantages of Group Expense Tracker:

• It is user-friendly software

• It is easy to install

• High performance

• It increases the efficiency

• It saves human effort and time

2.4 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Processer Intel(R) Core( TM )i5-9300H
CPU @ 2.30GHz minimum
System Type 64-bit operating System,x64-based processor
RAM 8.00 GB minimum

2.5 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Programming Languages XML,Java

Tools Used Android Studio,Android SDK
Server Gradle

2.6 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES USED

JAVA:

Java is a general-purpose, class-based, object-oriented programming language designed for

having lesser implementation dependencies. It is a computing platform for application
development. Java is fast, secure, and reliable, therefore. It is widely used for developing Java
applications in laptops, data centers, game consoles, scientific supercomputers, cell phones, etc.

XML:
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language similar to HTML, but without
8predefined tags to use. Instead, you define your own tags designed specifically for your needs.

This is a powerful way to store data in a format that can be stored, searched, and shared. Most
importantly, since the fundamental format of XML is standardized, if you share or transmit XML
across systems or platforms, either locally or over the internet, the recipient can still parse the
data due to the standardized XML syntax. .

3.1 USE CASE DIAGRAM

A use case diagram is a graphical representation of a user’s possible interactions with a system.
A use case diagram shows various use cases and different types of users the system has and
will often be accompanied by other types of diagrams as well.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

We have developed a mobile application that Keeps track of all of your transactions, keeps
track of your money lent or borrowed, users are able to keep track on their spending so they
are not wasting their money without doubt. It is a system that being developed to assist users
in budget planning. It provides end users to records their expenses within the budget that have
been planned beforehand. It splits the total-expense of any trip equally among the group
members. Last but certainly not the least, they are able to access the system anytime and
anywhere that is accessible.

❖ The paper’s main aim to eliminate the use of sticky notes, spreadsheets and handling of
large chunks of data is successful.
❖ The new experience is hassle-free and very handy.
❖ Now, with our application user can manage his expenses more effectively.
❖ This application can also help digital marketing agencies in rolling out their advertising
campaigns more effectively.
