Introduction
Mobile phones now a days are not just devices that are used for making calls. With the advancement of the technologies the ways mobile phones are used have changed. Mobile phones now a days can be used for various purposes. For example cameras, gaming devices, calculators, remote controls or sensors. As new technologies are being discovered day by day, tough competition is going between mobile companies to produce better phones. Those who cannot stand up to the expectations of users disappear slowly. The factor that makes mobile phones popular is the applications that allow users to do various surprising tasks. These applications have been among the important reasons for the growth of the mobile market.
In the battle of operating systems for mobiles, Android has emerged as a competitor or dominator to all existing mobile companies including Nokia and Apple. So choosing Android application development as a profession in today’s competitive world seems to be secure. The Android platform, which collected 80 million euros in 2010 alone, is expected to collect 1.5 billion euros in 2015. Also the tools and environments used for application development are free and easily available from the Android developer’s site. Good sets of instructions regarding the installation and developing applications are available on the site.
The goal of this project was to develop a remote desktop application allowing a user to have full control over the computer’s mouse and the keyboard in an Android platform. The Android phone in the project was the client application acting as remote control for controlling
