An Efficient Android-Based Application and Tool Development to Trace Smartphones

Abstract

Nowadays, smartphones are a crucial aspect of life for everyone involved in day-to-day activities. Sometimes mobile phone users need to keep their mobile phones quiet. This silence option is handy in many scenarios or locations such as meetings, lectures, libraries, museums or places of worship, and mobile phones might occasionally be lost. In this article, we have demonstrated that how to make it easier for Android phone users to discover their smartphone that has been lost due to quiet mode and how to monitor mobile phones by sending a single text message on the mobile phone, whether the mobile phone starts ringing, and users can simply search. There is no need to connect to the internet during mobile search if a user knows that the mobile phone is close to the location by listening to the emergency security alert beeping, which is also set up in this application to make it easier for users to find the mobile phone rather than searching through GPS Tracking System. It also tells users about the mobile phone's present position. If the mobile phone is far from the user, the user can only get location information if the mobile phone is linked to the internet or the mobile phone enables data packet. The Coral Draw graphics program is utilized to develop a beautiful interface for this project. Using SDK and JDK packages and libraries, Android Studio is utilized to code portion and performance features of this application. Keywords—Android, SDK, Security, GPS Tracker, SIM Detection.
