The rapid development of smart phones has made people's demand for mobile phone applications stronger. People hope that mobile phone applications can bring convenience to themselves, free themselves from the heavy and repetitive life and work, and the time saved can be spent on more meaningful things. Books are the ladder of human progress. Reading makes us stand on the shoulders of giants and keep moving forward. It can be said that reading has filled all aspects of our lives and become an indispensable part of daily life. There are many kinds of books, and the number is countless. It takes a lot of money to buy books and read. Many people cannot read freely and acquire knowledge for this reason. For this reason, the book sharing platform came into being. The book sharing platform is an online reading platform where people can share their books online for others to borrow and then obtain points. At the same time, they can borrow books for free through points. At present, mobile phones are mainly divided into two operating systems, namely iOS and Android. Among them, iOS is closed and not open source, while Android is open source. Compared with the closed iOS, Android can attract more developers, and the number of developers is the key to determining the number of applications in this ecosystem. At the same time, Android also provides powerful development tools and debugging tools, reducing the speed and difficulty of developing applications. Therefore, the Android system has been far ahead in the mobile phone market. This design is intended to rely on Android's powerful development components and convenient debugging tools, study its basic syntax structure, and develop a sharing and borrowing platform based on Android. This provides users with free online sharing and borrowing channels, thereby reducing the reading threshold, so that everyone can read books.
