Estudio de los métodos de representación de objetos gráficos para aplicaciones Android en dispositivos móviles. Caso Sistema Familiograma del MCDS

Abstract

The development of a mobile application for Android devices, based on the demands placed on the Ministry of Public Health and the intervention and logistics under the Ministry of Social Development Coordination of Ecuador, is an initiative established to facilitate the management of family information of the population of our country, by creating accurate graphical representations thereof, giving relevance to the structural hierarchy of a family and psycho interaction among its members. Besides having attributes for simplicity in the management of the application modules, proper development of the user regarding the use of providing quality at levels of fluency and handling systems, and finally given the correct and timely use of manipulative strategies graphics through a specific method for this purpose, from the point of view of programming objects, taking from a preliminary study. Study was carried out using the deductive logical method to determine the proper strategy for handling graphics and also based on the experimental method is designed a software solution for mobile devices tablet type called "Familiograma". Needless to say, from the perspective of software engineering, the methodology that was used for the development of the mobile application is Scrum and thanks to the guidelines arising under an agile, incremental orientation, could generate deliverables at the end of a relatively short period of development, thus achieving create upgradable solutions according to the findings of the expert user in the field of social development. The study and analyzes regarding the methods of representation of graphic objects for android applications, gave satisfactory and timely development of the application results, since for that specific strategies design and programming was used according to a representative method initially established to abstraction of family information. Finally, thanks to the procedures performed, we conclude that the use of technology is a highly beneficial potential for a variety of human-social field activities, improving their performance and allowing to obtain timely results more efficiently; further stresses the importance of the relationship between scientific research and the processes related to the programming of applications and thanks to this link could be establiched an appropriate solution for this project. It’s advisable to take advantage of this research to develop a mobile application, to give continuity to the automation of processes of social development in which they find enlisted the MCDS.
