The user can turn on the camera on a mobile phone or tablet to capture photo of objects (fruits or people or a business card or others). The user can also load an existing image of such objects from the current device. The image from camera or loaded will be automatically sent to a machine learning cloud service (MS Azure or Amazon or Google or others) for image processing. The results will be either recognised fruits (apple, banana, etc.) or recognised face characteristics (number of faces, ages, genders, etc.) or recognised text (name, job title, contact details, etc. for business card) or others. These results will be sent back in text format to the app. The app displays these results (JSON format must be removed) for the user to edit then save to a local database together with the image. The app also lists all images and results as list items for the user to see and edit then save. See the screen shots below for more details.

The menu contains at least 2 menu items as short cuts to 2 activities.

Keep the same margin on left and right, and on top and bottom for all images, text and titles as seen in the screenshots above. Do the same for padding (–5 marks if margin and padding are not properly set).

Handling all exceptions (–1 mark for each exception found at runtime). Your Android project must be created by you using Android Studio. Any Android project

converted from Eclipse or non-Android Studio project is not accepted. You cannot use an existing Android Studio project from other developers to implement your project (–15 marks)

Note: We cannot capture a photo using the camera on the emulator, so the following test is accepted: Click Capture button -> camera is on -> take a photo -> click OK (accept) to close camera -> display a blank item name and blank result on Activity 8 -> edit these items on Activity 4 -> click Save -> display Activity 2.
