ABSTRACT
Android Handyman Application provides users with a fast and reliable means to contact the
best odd- jobbers around them. In Pakistan, for a domestic job, the selection of blue-collar
workers has always been a challenging task. The main focus of this survey is to create our
mobile-based android application,where people can contact handymen. A handyman is a term
used to describe technicians, including Carpenter, AC Mechanics, Plumbers, Car Mechanic,
Electricians, and Painters. The application was developed using Android Studio, code is written
using Java and Android SDK, and to store data of oddjobbers, SQLite was used. The research
was conducted based on similar work in the form of literature review and related websites. The
inspiration behind this was the difficulties one had to face infinding a skilled person to solve
his/her household issues. In Pakistan, there is no such Android-based application available to
provide ease to smartphone users.

As the scope of the android application is concerned, statistics indicate that the trend of surfing
the internet on smart devices has seen a steep increase during the past few years. This trend is
likely to continue due to a drop in the cost and availability of smart devices. Pakistan, being a
developing countryhas huge potential in the field of the mobile software industry, and the rise

in Smartphone usage is mostlikely to be a perpetual entity. These sorts of uses can increase
business open doors for jacks of all tradesdivision which is far deserted from the general public,
where mechanical headways are advancing stepby step and individuals will in general rely
more upon innovation to meet their necessity than any timein recent memory.

INTRODUCTION
As Android Handyman Application gives clients a quick and solid intend to
contact best odd-middlemen around them. In Pakistan, for residential
occupation, the determination of hands-on laborers has continuously been a
difficult errand. The principle focal point of this study is to make our own
versatile based android application where individuals can contact jacks of all
trades. Jack of all trades is a term used to portray professionals, including a
Carpenter, AC Mechanics, Plumbers, Car Mechanic,Electricians, and Painters.
The application was created utilizing Android Studio, code is composed
utilizing Java and Android SDK, and to store information of odd jobbers SQLite
was utilized.Exploration was directed on the premise of comparative work as
writing audit and related sites.

The abstract level of the application contains followings assignments from a

user perspective and will be handled accordingly:

Figure 1: Flow of Application

According to the admin perspective, the tasks are to be handled in the following
direction:

Figure 2: Admin panel of Application

Development of Handy Mobile Application

This exploration paperwork to choose the best specialist for various groups.
This assessment paper has been done by taking gatherings to a bunch of people
and particular experts. The tools utilized as a part of this venture were Eclipse
Application Development Tool (ADT), Ionic Software Development Kit
(ISDK), HTML was utilized for IONIC SDK and SQLITE was utilized as a
database to store information of different workers. They save the transport
expenses of users to find the worker, they overcome the mental pressure of users
for their work, and they save the time of the user.[1]

App advancement in android is difficult. Becausethe improvement stage has

diverse conditions at various levels. The development stage includes the
arrangement of API's that give entrance to cell phones and system
functionalities that utilize the application to work on a particular cell phone. The
creator must think about the client's necessity and improvement stage. Plan
Application for PC and versatile both are distinctive things. As Mobile
applications are the greatest and quickly developing business sector, According
to One Research has been made, this market will develop $17.5bn in the
following two yearsand download would rise from 7bn every year before 50bn
by 2012.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND HANDYMAN SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PJAEE, 19 (3) (2022)

Why to choose Android

Figure 3: Data Flow

Due to its application, widgets, android market, and multitasking. There is no

organized strategy definedfor execution assessment in this space which can give
data to the product engineer.

We will use Android Studio as a development tool, as it is the ever tool to design
the android applicationsand SQLite as the database. We can improve execution
which isn't dealt with in this paper by taking a setnumber of requests in a day,
and remaining requests will be taken following 24 hours. We will graph the
handyman feedback and kick off the person who has low feedback consistently.
They use just 4 artisans for their work which might not be enough for this
project; we will appoint a minimum of 20 workers.

In this architecture,the user cannot see the worker’s feedback, and they are not
specifying how to call theworkers either calling him on their phone number to
place order or both. A new worker cannot contact theweb directly for work, we
will make a signup form for workers who want to work, and they shall submit
their skills which will reduce unemployment. Also, there is no bonus
functionality for a regular user.

Examination on the Development of new shop application utilizing Android

This paper was about the Mobile Shopping application which is delivered
primarily by using Eclipse IDEwith Android Development Tool (ADT) module.
This framework must be introduced with the Java Development Kit. Android
Emulator is utilized to configure, troubleshoot, and test the application in a
genuine Android run-time condition for application improvement. [3] The
design of the system is:

Figure 4: Flowchart of Shop Application

Local Android Application for Home Services

This paper was about Local Android Application for Home Services that is
incorporated based on a portable application for android clients that unites the
customer and specialist co-ops and interfaces them utilizing the GPS. As
indicated by their examination Clients ask for the home administrations and in
lightof the area by bringing the scope and longitude of the customer, the closest
specialist organization is appointed to serve the customer needs. Also, make this
application convenient. Tools that were used in this project are Android SDK,
Eclipse, Java, MySQL for the database.[3]

"Facility Kart" is a momentum running application which is doing likewise

work that it is in this examination. This application gives administrations like
home cleaning, Laundry Services, Driver on Demand Services, Carpet Cleaning
Services, Sofa Cleaning Services, Pest Control Services, Electrical Services,
Plumbing Services, AC Services, Carpentry Services, Car Spa, PC and PC
Repair, Refrigerator/Microwave/Washing Machine Services, and Home
Painting.

It includes administrator Module, Services Module, User Module, Feedback

Module. This applicationdoesn't utilize the GPS (Global Positioning System)
which is accessible on all android gadgets forrecognizing the area of the
client, who could be on versatility now and again and may require home
administrations at various areas if an enrolled client changes his area and
necessities benefit, he needs to Enlist and determine his new area. The
disadvantages in the current framework have been overwhelmedby executing
GPS (Global Positioning System) administration.
The algorithm used in this solution:

Figure 5: Algorithm to fetch latitude and longitude

563
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND HANDYMAN SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PJAEE, 19 (3) (2022)

The calculation to think about scope and longitude of User and Service Provider

1. Fetch the scope and longitude of the client Step

2. Store it on the server database Step

3. Compare the scope and longitude of the client and the specialist
organization by utilizing thegood ways from () technique

4. Allot a specialist organization dependent on the correlation made

We overcome these flaws by using these strategies, here user does not know the
exact time how much timewill be required to work to come, and we can integrate
the map with the current location of a worker. Userscannot see the profile of
workers and their previous records. We will prefer to use Android studio as a
development tool and SQLite as database storage. The major drawback of this
application is that it does not send the confirmation email to the user that their
request has been successfully registered and they will get back as soon as
possible. We will send a confirmation email to the user. No thank you screen or
message will be displayed in this project. We will make the Thank you message
after order. No special bonus for the regular customer shall be provided; we will
make the bonus for the user who utilizes our services 20 times in a week.

E-commerce Smartphone Application

This paper gives another perspective on such usages that can be availed. It
portrays and examines gadget prerequisites, gives a writing survey of essential
parts of cell phones that can utilize such applications andthe necessities of sites
intended for M business. The outline and security parts of cell phones are
likewiseexplored. As another option to existing m-business applications, this
paper also explores the qualities andcapabilities of the Phone Gap cross versatile
stage application. [4]

This review researches the open entryways made through mobile phone access
to the Internet. Speedier remote frameworks organization principles grant
remote contraptions to use more internet business applications, and thus, allow
progressively broad access to compact exchange (m-business) [5]. M-trade has
been characterized as "an extraordinary branch of web-based business, in which
cell phones furthermore, their framework affiliation medium is used to buy,
offer, and advance items, administrations,and information.

This paper will likewise examine the necessities of internet business

applications and why ordinary sites are not reasonable for cell phones.
Particularly this paper will investigate the qualities required for sites with the
goal that they work appropriately on cell phones. At last, the paper playsa role
to give answers for portable application improvement and make proposals for
future headings.

The following diagram indicates how the application engineering utilizes the
Spree web server and a localversatile application utilizing Phone Gap which
permits a similar application to keep running in various portable working

564
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND HANDYMAN SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PJAEE, 19 (3) (2022)

frameworks. This compares with the webserver which utilizes web

administrations to acquire information.

The architecture Diagram of the mentioned application is given below:

Figure 6: Application Architecture

Research and android Application Development in Android Platform

In recent years as the rise of advanced cell phones has revolutionized the
technological industry. The telephone is no longer only a specialized
instrument, but also a basic model for the general population's correspondence
and everyday life. Various applications incorporate unfathomable redirection
for people'slives. The destiny of the framework will be the compact terminal.

Now the Android platform in the electronics market is becoming more and more
popular, especially in theSmartphone market. Because it is open-source, some
of the development tools are free, so it has plenty of applications. This fact
greatly inspired people to use the android system. As smartphones and the
androidsystem are getting well known, the activities like tuning in to music,
watching recordings, tweeting, and some others can be moved from the PC to a
telephone now.[6] Android Architecture includes the Androidsystem which is a
Linux based system and shown in Figure.

Figure 7: Architecture of Shop Application

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND HANDYMAN SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PJAEE, 19 (3) (2022)

It contains layers. ADT and Eclipse are adopted as development tools.

The Gender division of labor

This article is about women's work moving into the paid market on the general
sexual orientation isolationof work and consequently on the changing idea of
sex imbalance. The section of a more noteworthy number of ladies into the work
power happened as family unit administrations, items, and innovation
diminished ladies' housework commitments and expanded the interest for female
workers in the market.[7]

Virtual Handyman

VIRTUAL HANDYMAN exhibits how arranged detecting, remote systems,

and the Web forums benefit together to help in making another class of
administrations, i.e., smaller-scale benefits on tap, through in the nick of time
individual communications. In particular, it has outdated sensors like remote
cameras to empower the remote specialist co-op to specifically observe the
setting in which the client is completing atask. Thus, the client doesn't have to
invest much energy in portraying the circumstance. Organizations are found
dynamically by using the Web organizations establishment (for example UDDI)
and are passed onthis over the Internet. In doing such, the framework offers the
buyer more accommodation, lower cost, strengthening, and better general
involvement. Meanwhile, it gives associations, for instance, retailers another
decision to brace relationship with their customers, and improve their essential
worries through additional salary streams. [8]

Virtual handyman concentrates on home change assignments, the approach can

be summed up to other administration regions like cooking, form, individual
security, travel, shopping, etc., where individual collaborations between a
beginner and a specialist are required.

Take individual design, for instance. With a keen look at your room, whenever
you require counsel on what to wear, your closet can, continuously, find and
interface you to a live design consultant, who may help you select the best outfit
for your particular event. Since the design guide can perceive what you're
wearing through the implicit camera, and what you have in the closet through the
inserted RFID, you don't have to squander whenever clarifying or portraying
them. The administration is quick, individual, and canbe called upon at whatever
time you feel suitable.

Similarly, the admin can add categories and then add services concerning those categories based onthe same criteria mentioned above The system
enables the admin to add the handyman type to identify eitherhe is electrician, plumber, painter, carpenter, cleaner, etc. The system makes the
admin select a checkboxor not while adding a new handyman. This selection will allow us to track either the handyman is currentlyserving or not.
Handyman Admin panel allows the admin to just enable and disable the handyman type without deleting from the database. Handyman Admin
panel allows the admin to just enable and disable the handyman type without deleting from the database. Admin hasthe capability for editing the
type nameif there are any typing errors. Admin should easily edit the status of the handyman type already availablein the database either it is
enabled or disabled. Handyman Services do not allow the admin to delete the handyman type he added or those which already exist in the database.
When admin clicks the cancel button the system redirect admin to the search page where all the records for handyman type will be displayed in

ANDROID HANDYMAN APPLICATION

Keeping in view all the problems and omission faced in research and
development work we decided to overcome these issues by developing an
android application that will facilitate in handyman services. This application
provides the interface to customer hiring, Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter,
Cleaner, Painter. Itcontains two boards, Customer or Client board that is on the
android stage, while another board that is an executive board that is on Web
Technology. Parts of Android panel contains, searching the area, selection of
specific service, calculation of the amount, authentication system through REST
API’s that is in PHP Language, Recovery of password if forgotten, sign in
through Social media (Face book), splash Screen, Intro Slider, Multi-Language
System, etc.

We use Android Studio 2.2.3 for the development of android handyman

Application, MySQL Server for data communication, SQL Lite database for
storing Suggestion of area names.

573
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND HANDYMAN SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PJAEE, 19 (3) (2022)

USE CASE MODEL

Figure 11: Use Case Models

This use case diagram tells the how android handyman application are working,
we have four actors in it, Customer, Service Provider, Admin, Android
handyman, and the role of them are mentioned above. We are providing services
in specific areas for now. Also, giving the interface to the client to look through
their territory where they need assistance when they type, the proposal will be
stacked from MySQL utilizing REST APIs.

The User Interface of android Application is given below.

Figure 12: Customer panel of application

So, it’s a location-based search for Services. For Instance, In Johor Town
Lahore Pakistan, we areproviding two services, Electrician and Plumber, so you
can see that in the images. After putting a request,the client will get a message

574
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND HANDYMAN SERVICES APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PJAEE, 19 (3) (2022)

from Administrator your request has been handling, it implies the client getsa
warning, your question has been submitted and inside 15 min a service provider
contacts you and fulfill your service. As we discussed above, we have
overcome the issue of Multilanguage’s whichisa bigproblem in the currently
running applications. A layman doesn’t know about English and they are facing
a big problem to place order and usage of the application. So here are attached
images of our application As images describe how an android handyman
application overcome the issue of languages. Here we need to go to the
navigation drawer and click on settings-> select one language at a time, then
refresh it by sliding the finger top to bottom and all app converted into the
desired language

CONCLUSION
This can be extended as the future work in many dimensions, including since
this system can make a business so we can expand this system by incorporating
eCommerce i.e. integrated shops. Also, a prioritized listing of handymen can be
shown upon user search which may have a nominal fee. CRM (customer
relationship management) can be integrated within the application for better
client interaction and issue management. Moreover, as the user base grows paid
advertisements can be placedupon several sections for monetization purposes.
In terms of user collaboration and discussionplatforms, blogs and forums can
be integrated. Finally, since the data itself is valuable, we can use collected data
to elicit statistics to target our marketing campaigns to achieve better result
