“…The REST API (Representational State Transfer) accelerates the development, creation, publication, and consumption of Web services through JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) to exchange data (Lachgar et al, 2018). The need to combine Web services and mobile devices has driven application development.…”

In recent years, the agricultural sector has boosted crop production and, consequently, the consumption of agrochemicals. This creates a serious problem, since it compromises the environment, and increases the levels of risks to the health of the population when the containers are exposed. The project proposes to implement a mobile application to promote the recovery of empty phytosanitary containers, offering options to locate safe collection points. It also includes digital receipt inquiries that cover deliveries. The application was developed according to the iterative and incremental life cycle using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Coding was done in Android Studio, with access to a MySQL database installed on a Web server with PHP implementing the Volley library. The Google Maps API was also integrated with location options and access routes. This initiative attempts to reduce damage to the environment and impacts on health, promoting social commitment.

“…The Android Studio Chipmunk version is available from 2021 (Android Studio, 2022). Lachgar et al (2018) states that Android applications uses a REST API (Representational State Transfer) to transfer data on the Web, in order to create, publish and consume Web services through JSON. Volley is one of the most widely used libraries for accessing Web REST APIs.…”

When issuing avocado export certificates, a high volume of data is generated. Consequently, its analysis is complex due to processing times. This paper presents a Web platform that can analyze and process sequences and comparative statistics with projections during the management of these certificates. During the development phase, interviews were conducted with users to gather the requirements by the Jalisco Avocado Growers and Exporters Association (APEAJAL), through a formal specification using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Programming languages for coding such as Android Studio, PHP, JavaScript, HTML5, AJAX, jQuery, Bootstrap and MySQL were used. This project provides support for decision-making processes, favoring strategies in the association's senior management, contributing significantly to offering a reliable platform for the registration and monitoring of certificates.

In the modern era, smartphones are increasingly becoming an integral and essential part of our daily life. Although the hardware capabilities of the smartphones (i.e., processing, memory, battery, and communication) are improving every day, however, it is not enough to handle computationintensive applications, such as image processing, data analytics, and encryption. To overcome these limitations, mobile cloud computing (MCC) is introduced, which augments the capabilities of smartphones and resources of the cloud to provide better QoS performance to the user. The idea is to save resources in the smartphones by offloading the computationally intensive tasks to the cloud. In this context, researchers have proposed several offloading frameworks, mainly addressing challenges of why-what-when and where to offload. In this paper, however, we explore another challenging issue of offloading, i.e., howto-offload. More specifically, we analyze different networking libraries (HttpURLConnection, OkHttp, Volley, Retrofit) and study their performance on various dynamic factors such as data size, communication media, hardware and software of the smartphone. Our objective is to explore if an application can use the same networking library for all the smartphones and all purposes or there is a need to make an adaptive decision based on the local constraints. To understand this, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the networking libraries on different Andriod smartphones in the real environment and found that there is a need of adaptive network library selection because libraries perform changes in different scenarios.
