Integration of Programs for Online Shopping for Users of Android Devices
Abstract
Background: As smartphones, particularly Android devices, have increased in popularity, so have e-commerce applications. Online purchasing, divided into B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) sectors, provides customers with ease and a wealth of options. However, security issues and a disconnected experience across numerous platforms present difficulties. Objective: This article aims to create a user-centric Android shopping application coupled with a cart application on an XAMPP server. The objective is to provide a unified, smooth shopping experience across all product lines and platforms. Methods: By developing the app in Java and XML to guarantee compatibility and usability across multiple Android devices. A connection between the application and a MySQL database will be created, allowing for shared resources with a web server and assuring effective operation. Results: With a single complete interface, this integrated strategy attempts to eliminate fragmentation in the online purchasing experience by eliminating the need for different applications and logins. It also anticipates personalized ideas, pricing, and promotions to improve the buying experience. Conclusion: By focusing on user experience, design, and integration, this Android shopping software has the potential to transform the e-commerce environment by reducing operations and creating a more immersive, safe, and efficient purchasing experience.
