Years ago, the development of mobile phones was mainly used for voice communication. As technologies evolved, the mobile phones can do more than just voice communication, it can be used to surf the internet, video conferencing, gaming and many more. Even better today, we can design our own applications using the software development kits (SDK) available. With the release of open source software, Android, it gives us ability to access the hardware directly and develop customized applications. This project will focus on the use of Android software development kit (SDK) to develop the location based application. Cell-ID was used to obtain the physical locations and Apache Tomcat was used to implement the server. A server is required to process the data and send the relevant response. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Post (HttpPost) and doPost method are used for that purpose.
