 ABSTRACT

Rock-paper-scissors, also known as stone-paper-scissors, is a hand game that is commonly played

between two players. It is a simple game that doesn't require any equipment other than your hands.
The rules are straightforward:
Each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with their hand: rock (a closed fist), paper
(an open hand), or scissors (a fist with the index and middle finger extended).
 Rock beats scissors (rock smashes scissors).
 Scissors beats paper (scissors cut paper).
 Paper beats rock (paper covers rock).
If both players choose the same shape, it is a tie, and the game is replayed.
Rock-paper-scissors is often used to settle disputes or make quick decisions. It is a popular game
among children because it's easy to learn and play. It can also be played competitively by adults,
and there are even international rock-paper-scissors tournaments held around the world.

Key features of the Rock Paper Scissor mobile application include:

• Multiplayer mode: Play with friends or other online players in real-time matches for upto 2
players.
• Single-player mode: Play against computer-controlled opponents with random choice.
• Realistic random choice: Experience the excitement of random choice virtually with
realistic animations.
• Customization options: Customize the appearance of the board, game pieces, and dice.
• Game statistics: Displays player performance along with win-loss statistics.

Throughout the development process, Android Studio's built-in tools, such as the layout editor and
debugging capabilities, are utilized to enhance productivity and ensure a smooth user experience.
Adhering to Android's design principles, the application prioritizes responsiveness, performance,
and compatibility across a wide range of Android devices.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Android
Android is a software platform and operating system for mobile devices. Android is
available as open source. It allows developers to write managed code in Java Language,
controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.
Android is a Linux based operating system and it was bought by Google in 2007.There
are tons of application available and one of the prime reasons for this vast number is
android being an open source. On the other hand, android based device like mobile, tab is
very user friendly. A survey has done by ―Light Castle Partners‖ research wing which
indicates that though other operating system mobile users exist but the majority users are
goes with android operating system.

1.2 History

The history and versions of android are interesting to know. The code names of android
ranges from A to J currently, such as Astro, Blender, Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo,
Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, and Lollipop. Let us
understand the android history in a sequence.

 Initially, Andy Rubin founded Android Incorporation in Palo Alto, California, United
States in October, 2003.In 17th August 2005, Google acquired android Incorporation.
Since then, it is in the subsidiaryof Google Incorporation.

 The key employees of Android Incorporation are Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Chris
White and Nick Sears.

 Originally intended for camera but shifted to smart phones because of low market
forcamera only. Android is the nick name of Andy Rubin given by coworkers
because of his love to robots.

 In 2007, Google announces the development of android OS. In 2008, HTC launched
the first android mobile.

1.4 Architecture of Android

The skeleton of Android framework and its constituents are shown in the following figure:

Fig 1.2: Architecture of android OS

1.4.1Applications Layer

Android ships with a set of core applications including an email client, SMS
program, calendar, maps, browser, contacts and others. All applications are built
using the Java.

1.4.2 Application Framework Layer

The next layer is the application framework. This includes the programs that
manage the phone’s basic functions telephone applications, switching between
processes and keeping track of the phone's physical location. Application
developers have full access to Android's application framework.

1.4.3 Libraries Layer

The next layer contains the native libraries of Android. These shared libraries are
all written in C or C++, compiled for the particular hardware architecture used
by the phone and preinstalled by the phone vendor.

Dept. of ISE, RNSIT 2022-2023 Page10

18CSMP68: Mobile Application Development with Mini Project Rock Paper Scissors App

1.4.4 Android Runtime Layer

Android Runtime layer includes Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) and a set of core
java libraries. Every Android app gets its own instance of DVM. Dalvik has 14
been written so that a device can run multiple virtual machines efficiently and it
executes files with .dex (Dalvik Executable Format) extension optimized for
minimum memory.

1.4.5 Activity

An Activity is, fundamentally, an object that has a lifecycle. An Activity is a chunk

of code that does some work, as necessary. The work can include displaying a UI to
the user, though it doesn't have to as some Activities never display UIs. Typically,
we designate one of our application's Activities as the entry point to our
application.

1.4.6 Broadcast Receiver

Broadcast Receiver is yet another type of component that can receive and respond
to any of the broadcast announcements.

1.4.7 Service

A Service is a body of code that runs in the background. It can run in its own
process, or in the context of another application's process, depending on its needs.
Other components "bind" to a Service and invoke methods on it via remote
procedure calls. A Service keeps the music going even when the UI has completed.

1.4.8 Content Provider

Content Provider is data storehouse that provides access to data on device, the
classic example is Content Provider used to access the user's list of contacts. Our
application can access data that applications have exposed via a Content
Provider, and can also define our own Content Providers to expose data of own.

IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation is the carrying out, execution, or practice of a plan, a method, or any
design, idea, model, specification, standard or policy for doing something. As such,
implementation is the action that must follow any preliminary thinking in order for
something to actually happen.

4.1 About Android Studio

Android Studio is the official integrated development environment for Google's Android
operating system, JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA software and designed specifically for Android
development. It is available for download on Windows, macOS and Linux based os. It is
a replacement for Eclipse Android Development Tools (E-ADT) as the primary IDE for
native Android application development.

4.1.1 Features of Android Studio

 Gradle-based build support
 Android-specific refactoring and quick fixes
 Lint tools to catch performance, version compatibility and other problems
 ProGuard integration and app-signing capabilities
 Template-based wizards to create common Android designs and components
 A rich layout editor that allows users to drag-and-drop UI components, option to
preview layouts on multiple screen configurations[17]
 Support for building Android Wear apps
 Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, enabling integration with Firebase
Cloud Messaging and Google App Engine[18]

4.2 XML
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing
structured information: documents, data, configuration, transactions, invoices, and much
more. It was derived from older standard format called SGML order to be more suitable
for Web use.

Dept. of ISE, RNSIT 2022-2023 19 18

Page
18CSMP68: Mobile Application Development with Mini Project Rock Paper Scissors App
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language and file format for storing,
transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It 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[2] of 1998[3] and several other related
specifications[4]—all of them free open standards—define XML.[5].

4.3 Java Codes

4.3.1 Play with computer fragment:

 String[] selections = {"rock", "paper", "scissor"}; declares an array called

selections and initializes it with three strings representing the available options for
selection: "rock", "paper", and "scissor".
 Random random = new Random(); creates an instance of the Random class,
which will be used to generate random numbers.
 int index = random.nextInt(selections.length); generates a random integer between
0 (inclusive) and the length of the selections array (exclusive) using the nextInt
method of the Random class. This random integer will be used as an index to
select a random element from the selections array.
 return selections[index]; retrieves the element from the selections array at the
randomly generated index and returns it as the result of the getRandomSelection
method.

Fig 4.1: Java code for random move generation

18CSMP68: Mobile Application Development with Mini Project Rock Paper Scissors App

4.3.2 Play with others fragment

 private void onPlayP1(String selection): This method is called when

player 1 makes a selection. The selection parameter represents the choice
made by player 1.
 if (allowPlaying): Checks if playing is allowed. If playing is allowed, the
code inside the if statement will be executed.
 binding.ivIconP1.setImageResource(R.drawable.check);: Sets the image
resource of ivIconP1 to a check mark image, indicating that player 1 has
made a selection.
 binding.tvP1Status.setText("Ready");: Sets the text of tvP1Status to
"Ready", indicating that player 1 is ready.
 selectionP1 = selection;: Stores the selection made by player 1 in the
selectionP1 variable.

4.3.3 Winner with computer

 The FinishComp class is an activity that displays the result of a
competition.
 It retrieves the winner information from the intent, sets the
appropriate view based on the winner ("comp" or not), and
provides a button to return to the home screen.
 The view is updated with an image and text message indicating
whether the player won or lost.

Fig 4.3: Java code for winner with computer

4.3.4 Winner against multiplayer

 The onCreate() method is overridden, which called when activity

is being created.
 It initializes the activity sets layout calling setContentView which
associates activity with XML layout.
 The activity contains a button and TextView. The button with the
id btnHome is obtained using findViewById(), which finds view
based on resource id. The Text View with id player Name is also
obtained in the same way.

Dept. of ISE, RNSIT 2022-2023 Page1921

18CSMP68: Mobile Application Development with Mini Project Rock Paper Scissors App

 A click listener is set on the btnHome button using the lambda

expression view -> This listener defines the behavior when the
button is clicked.
 Inside the click listener, an Intent is created to navigate back to
the MainActivity class. The Intent takes a current context and
the target activity class as parameters.
 The start Activity method is called to start MainActivity and
finish() is called to finish and close the current FinishActivity.

TESTING
Software testing in an essential phase in the development life cycle of an application.
Testing ensures that the developed system meets its functional and non-functional
requirements. Two important terms in software testing are Verification and Validation.
Verification is the process of evaluating work-products like requirement specs, design
specs and test cases etc. of different development phases to make sure that they meet the
requirements for that phase. It ensures that the system is built in the right way. Whereas
Validation is the process of evaluating the software at the end of the development phase to
make sure that it meets the business requirements. It is used to make sure that the product
fulfils its intended use and that the end product is built right. One of the most important
tools to test and debug an Android app is the Dalvik debug monitor server (DDMS) that is
part of the Android framework. DDMS helps you to debug your code as it prints errors,
warning and other information from your code. It also provide stack traces for exceptions
on the Logcat output. Various other testing strategies have been adopted to make sure the
correctness of the Image Steganography app. They are discussed in this chapter.
