ObDroid: An Android permanent monitoring application using the observer pattern

Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1

Abstract

Nowadays, mobile devices are the most important gadgets from our lives. We use smartphones and tablets for many activities: communication, instant messaging, emails, multimedia content sharing, social networks, e-banking procedures, etc. The fact that we are already used with their advantages makes them indispensable in our daily activities. In this paper, we present a solution, an experimental application based on the observer pattern, a method to permanently monitor the main activities (calls, messages, location) using an Android device. The interaction between the analyzed device and the observer is possible using an intermediary server that makes the connection between a hidden service and the monitoring platform. Using a tool with monitoring capabilities can be extremely useful in many cases such as industrial use for employees, the family purpose of parental control, personal security as an anti-theft solution.
