Digitization of Jigme Namgyel Engineering College (JNEC) Prayer Book: Android-Based Application

Abstract

Jigme Namgyel Engineering College (JNEC) prayer book is the android mobile app designed for all the users of the college in a digital format which is portable, accessible and convenient at any time. As of now, the college is using the printed prayer book. Even though the printed prayer book serves its function well, users find challenges in viewing and following the prayer in sequential order as the prayers are not in order and it is inconvenient to flip the pages of the prayer book in the middle of the prayer. In addition, the college doesn’t have sufficient prayer books and every year, prayer books are printed which adds on to the college’s expense.
Therefore, android-based application ‘JNEC Prayer App’ is developed to overcome inconveniences of the printed prayer book. This application allows users to view the prayers that have been saved and also users will be able to choose which prayer to recite. Waterfall method is used in developing this application. It is designed with the prototype using Figma, and Android Studio is used for actual app development using dart language. This app can be upgraded with additional features such as audio features and calendar within app. It can be also made available to the iOS users in the future.
