Abstract:Using programs such as java, C#, VB, and Delphi, a mobile meteorological information service platform based on Android smartphone technology is developed, which enriches meteorological information service approaches and enhances service capability. Focused on user experiences, the platform provides an innovative mobile meteorological information service approach for public users, combining the features of Android smartphones and mobile applications. The platform is an integrated system consisting of three modules: the processing, distribution, and reception of meteorological information, through which users can acquire meteorological information at any time. The design of the platform architecture and client applications of this platform are introduced. The problems and solutions involved in the R&D process of Android client applications with Java are elaborated. Issues such as gesture control, GIS service, application management, system compatibility, and stability, are also discussed in detail.
