Annexure – II
Part – B Micro-Project Report
(Outcomes after Execution) Format for Micro-Project Report (Minimum 6 pages)
Title of Micro-Project:
“To develop a Stopwatch in Android Studio”
1.0 Rationale
(Importance of the project, in about 30 to 50 words. This is a modified version of the earlier one
written after the work)
we will implement a beginner level android project Stopwatch using Android Studio. We will
start with the project details, how it works, and the prerequisites for the project. After that, we’ll show you
how to implement and execute the project. This application will have three buttons that are: start, stop, and
hold. This application would need to use Java and XML. For this application, we need to set the timer properly
as it is initially set to milliseconds, and that should be converted to minutes and then hours properly.
The users can use this application and all they’d need to do is, start the stopwatch and then stop
it when they are done. They can also pause the timer and continue it again when they like. It is a simple app
that is used to record or measure time. It has mainly 4 main functions as shown below: Start: To start the
stopwatch time from the beginning or from the pause state. Stop:To stop the stopwatch time and reset the time
to zero. The stopwatch we designed is a time-keeping device that is meant to measure the time elapsed from
the start to end of any event.
2.0 Aims/Benefits of the Micro-Project
a) To give detailed information of how to create stopwatch in android studio
b) To learn and code in java in android studio.
c) To describe about the functions and syntax used in java for developing android applications.
d) To learn and give information about mobile application development
3.0 Course Outcomes Achieved (Add to the earlier list if more COs are addressed)
a. Develop rich interfaces by using layouts and controls.
b. Use user interface components for android application development

4.0 Literature Review
A literature review is an important part of any research project, including one focused on to
develop a Stopwatch in Android Studio Here are some key points to consider when conducting a literature
review for a develop a Stopwatch in Android Studio. This application will have three buttons that are: start,
stop, and hold. This application would need to use Java and XML. For this application, we need to set the
timer properly as it is initially set to milliseconds, and that should be converted to minutes and then hours
properly.
The users can use this application and all they’d need to do is, start the stopwatch and then
stop it when they are done. They can also pause the timer and continue it again when they like. It is a simple
app that is used to record or measure time. It has mainly 4 main functions as shown below: Start: To start the
stopwatch time from the beginning or from the pause state. Stop:To stop the stopwatch time and reset the time
to zero. The stopwatch we designed is a time-keeping device that is meant to measure the time elapsed from
the start to end of any event.
To begin with the project and its understanding you must be familiar with quite a few things.
These things are important for you to know as without the knowledge of these things you won’t be able to
implement projects. Mentioned below are the things you need to know:
1. Java Programming:
Java Programming plays an important role in Android app development as it makes the
application function and manages it.
2. XML:
Extensible Markup Language is useful as it helps us create the user interface for the application.
Knowing the basics of it will help you as
3. Android Studio:
Android Studio is the platform that we will use for the development of our project. This makes
it important for the users to know about the IDE they work on.
4. Kotlin (Optional):
Kotlin is an optional choice for you. It can be used in place of Java for app development.
❖ What are the important files for Project?
In our project, we will have the following files, and we will explain these files to you:
1. activity_main.xml:
This file is responsible for the layout and the interface of the project. We have added a textview and
the buttons through this file.
2. MainActivity.java:
This file is responsible for the working of the application. We have used this file in this project for
the functioning of buttons.
3. Colors.xml file:
In this file, we have mentioned the color names that we have used in the project.
4. strings.xml file:
In this file, we have mentioned the words that are used in our project and also its description.

5.0 Actual Methodology Followed.
The stopwatch is basically a timepiece that is designed particularly to measure the time
elapsed between the activation and deactivation of the stopwatch. The users can start the
Stopwatch and stop it anytime. It was originally invented by Samuel Watson. There is also
a button to restart the stopwatch that will set the stopwatch to starting. So our task is to
make an application for Stopwatch which can be used whenever required.
Here are the following things that we would need to add in our Stopwatch project: 1.
It will have a display that will show the time on it. For the display, we have used TextView.
2. Then we will have three options, using the User Interface components that are Buttons.
Using button we have added the following three options
➢ Start Button : The start is the activation for the Stopwatch. It will activate the Stopwatch as soon as
pressed.
➢ Stop Button : The Stop button will be used to deactivate the stopwatch. As soon as we click the stop
button the stopwatch will be deactivated. After getting deactivated it will show the total time elapsed
between the activation and deactivation of the watch.
➢ Reset Button: The reset button is used to set the stopwatch to 00:00:00 again. Stopwatch needs to be
reset once its use is done.

7.0 Outputs of the Micro-Project
The stopwatch feature allows you to measure elapsed times. By using the corresponding buttons, the
stopwatch can be started, stop and reset. After we done with our project about stopwatch we are able to
learn and develop knowledge. We are also able learn how to developed skills and knowledge in systematic
design approach.
According to our project we are able to use the best method that can be used to write the program the
main reason is we can know the time can be executed.
Step 8: Printing/Drawing.
We all decided to make report in print format,one member took printout of report,it was shown to project
guide by every member and collected tips for presentation.
Step 9: Explanation/Preparation.
Everyone did good preparation of microproject which was needed for vi-va

1.0 Applications of this Micro-Project
By creating a stopwatch app you will get familiarised with the various time and date
management functions in the Android Studio. There a handful yet highly-advantageous functions used
for dealing with date and time components within any TextView. A stopwatch is widely used in the
sports sector for time-keeping, having a stopwatch in the cellular phone becomes very handy for
coaches, trainers, runners, and other sports professionals. Apart from sports, stopwatch is used in the
education sector, for time-keeping during quizzes, debate competitions, and so on. The UI design and
the Java Code of a stopwatch are very elementary. There are three buttons in the user-interface. First,
the “start” button is used for starting the timer from an initial zero second. Second, the “stop” button,
which can also be named the “pause” button, stops the increment but doesn’t take the reading back to
zero. If you click on the “start” button again, the timer will increment from the value at which it was
stopped earlier. The last button is the “reset” button, it sets the value of the timer back to zero seconds.
11.0 Area of Future Improvement

12 .Conclusion:
we have learned to implement the Stopwatch android project. We discussed the project details and
required files. After that, we discussed the prerequisites for our application project. Then we went
through the step by step process to develop and execute the project.
