CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

A Daily Expense Tracker is a one kind of digital diary that helps to keep an eye on all of
our money related transitions and also provides all financial activities report daily, weekly,
monthly and yearly. Users get notification to record expenses and incomes that are helpful to
the tracking system of the application. All information is saved in offline mode so users can
easily access any time and any palaces. User interface of the Daily Expense Tracker is very
simple and attractive so it is easy to understand and the best way to record our financial
data.

1.1 MOTIVATION

The motivation to work in this project is actually our real-life experience. As a user We face
many difficulties in our daily file. In our daily life money is the most important portion and
without it we cannot last one day on earth but if we keep on track all financial data then we
can overcome this problem. Most of the people cannot track their expenses and income one
way they face the money crisis and depression. This situation motivates us to make an
android app to track all financial activities. Using the Daily Expense Tracker user can be
tracking expenses day to day and making life tension free.

1.2 Expected Outcome

The main objective of this project is support to the user to sustain all financial activities
like digital automated dairy. This application helps the user to avoid unexpected
expenses and bad financial situations.

1.3 Comparative Studies

We have studied some similar applications and found some problems that are not
working in offline mode. There are some limitations to their application, which we do
not have in our application. In some applications, there are no login and signup options,
which is required for the security of a user's information. However, in our application,
we have a login and signup which is required for user data security and has a dashboard
for monitoring the entire system. This application is a very simple and user-friendly
application for the common people. The main goal of the project is to make the system
offline and perform more tasks in a short period of time.

1.4 CHAPTER OVERVIEWS

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION
A writing audit is a study of insightful sources on a particular research. We found various
similar products that have already been developed in the market. Unlike all those products,
Personal Expense Tracker (PET) provides security and graphical results. We provide the
users to enter their wish-list before any purchase. It generates notifications to notify users
about their timely entry. In order to complete our task, we used the Android platform to
build a portable, handy product that can run on an Android phone. We used Android studio
to build our application. The major language we used for scripting was Java and XML for
producing better layout. We used SQLite to implement the database.

2.1.1 USER REGISTRATION AND CREATION

This application like the vast majority of the applications will have a user login screen
and alternatives for enlistment. The user should enlist in this application when the
person in question is using it for the first time. Nonetheless, the client who is now
enlisted can login to the application utilizing their login accreditations that are made by
the user at the hour of enrolment.

2.1.2 ADDING INCOME AND EXPENSES

This application will provide to choose the categories or type of income or expenses.
Every user of the application has the option to add incomes and expenses
accordingly. Each record should have details of the date of occurrence of item,
details of items etc

2.2 CATEGORY MASTER

This module fundamentally relies upon the SQLite for putting away classification
details and expense subtleties and income. The class exchange is put away in a SQLite
database.

2.3 MANAGEMENT VIEW - DATA WISE

The Expenses are recorded dependent on the Predetermined date insightful in this
module. By recovering all the income and expense subtleties are seen as a rundown of
exchange classes by our various costs. The income and expenses are recovered by
utilizing SQLite queries and saw in advanced cell.

2.4 CONCLUSION
In this paper, After making this application we assure that this application will help its
users to manage the cost of their daily expenditure. It will guide them and make them
aware about their daily expenses. It will prove to be helpful for the people who are
frustrated with their daily budget management, irritated because of the amount of
expenses and wish to manage money and to preserve the record of their daily cost
which may be useful to change their way of spending money. In short, this application
will help its users to overcome the wastage of money.

CHAPTER 3: PROBLEM FORMULATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Many organizations have their own system to record their income and expenses, which
they feel is the main key point of their business progress. It is a good habit for a person to
record daily expenses and earning but due to unawareness and lack of proper applications
to suit their privacy, lacking decision making capacity people are using traditional note
keeping methods to do so. Due to lack of a complete tracking system, there is a constant
overload to rely on the daily entry of the expenditure and total estimation till the end of the
month.

3.2 PROBLEMS FACED

After discussing our application functions and comparing them to other existing
applications, some features were found lacking. This is a new application that will attract the
public user through its features.
There are always some challenges. We have to face some challenges as well, since the main
purpose of our application is to track the user's expenses.
➢ This is an Android-based mobile application, so if a user does not have an Android

phone then this application will not help him.

➢ After getting notifications if a user doesn‟t check his phone for full information then
the main motto of this app will fail.

3.3 OBJECTIVES

Our goal is to create an expense tracking system where user can be tracking all financial
activities and view previous income and expense report.

❖ Users can easily review the reports daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
❖ Users can update or delete records.
❖ Users can get notifications daily. Create Category and Change currency.
❖ Users can also change Notification time and modify some features.
❖ Add Expense and Income

CHAPTER 4: METHODOLOGY

4.1 Proposed work and Specifications

4.1.1 Css

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a
document written in a markup language like HTML.CSS is a cornerstone technology of the
World Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript.CSS is designed to enable the separation of
presentation and content, including layout, colors, and fonts.This separation can improve
content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation
characteristics, enable multiple web pages to share formatting by specifying the relevant CSS
in a separate .css file, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content.

CSS information can be provided from various sources. These sources can be the web browser,
the user and the author. The information from the author can be further classified into inline,
media type, importance, selector specificity, rule order, inheritance and property definition.
CSS style information can be in a separate document or it can be embedded into an HTML
document. Multiple style sheets can be imported. Different styles can be applied depending on
the output device being used; for example, the screen version can be quite different from the
printed version, so that authors can tailor the presentation appropriately for each medium.The
style sheet with the highest priority controls the content display. Declarations not set in the
highest priority source are passed on to a source of lower priority, such as the user agent style.
The process is called cascading.

4.1.2 JAVA
JavaScript is a high-level, interpreted scripting language that conforms to the ECMAScript
specification. JavaScript has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based
object-orientation, and first-class functions.Alongside HTML and CSS, JavaScript is one of

Downloaded by Sourav Makur ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|22015807

The core technologies of the World Wide Web.JavaScript enables interactive web pages and
is an essential part of web applications. The vast majority of websites use it,and major web
browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine to execute it.As a multi-paradigm language,
JavaScript supports event-driven, functional, and imperative (including object-oriented and
prototype-based) programming styles. It has APIs for working with text, arrays, dates, regular
expressions, and the DOM, but the language itself does not include any I/O, such as
networking, storage, or graphics facilities. It relies upon the host environment in which it is
embedded to provide these features.

Initially only implemented client-side in web browsers, JavaScript engines are now embedded
in many other types of host software, including server-side in web servers and databases, and
in non-web programs such as word processors and PDF software, and in runtime
environments that make JavaScript available for writing mobile and desktop applications,
including desktop widgets.

The terms Vanilla JavaScript and Vanilla JS refer to JavaScript not extended by any
frameworks or additional libraries. Scripts written in Vanilla JS are plain JavaScript
code.Google's Chrome extensions, Opera's extensions, Apple's Safari 5 extensions, Apple's
Dashboard Widgets, Microsoft's Gadgets, Yahoo! Widgets, Google Desktop Gadgets, and
Serene Klipfolio are implemented using JavaScript.

4.1.3 SQLite

SQLite is a relational database management system (RDBMS) contained in a C library. In

contrast to many other database management systems, SQLite is not a client–server
database engine. Rather, it is embedded into the end program.

SQLite generally follows PostgreSQL syntax. SQLite uses a dynamically and weakly
typed SQL syntax that does not guarantee the domain integrity.This means that one can, for
example, insert a string into a column defined as an integer. SQLite will attempt to convert
data between formats where appropriate, the string "123" into an integer in this case, but
does not guarantee such conversions and will store the data as-is if such a conversion is not
possible.

SQLite is a popular choice as embedded database software for local/client storage

in application software such as web browsers. It is arguably the most widely deployed
database engine, as it is used today by several widespread browsers, operating systems,
and embedded systems (such as mobile phones), among others. SQLite has bindings to
many programming languages.

4.1.4 MYSQL
MySQL is an open source relational database management system (RDBMS) based on
Structured Query Language (SQL). It is one part of the very popular LAMP platform
consisting of Linux, Apache, My SQL, and PHP. Currently My SQL is owned by Oracle. My
SQL database is available on most important OS platforms. It runs on BSD Unix, Linux,
Windows, or Mac OS. Wikipedia and YouTube use My SQL. These sites manage millions of
queries each day. My SQL comes in two versions: My SQL server system and My SQL
embedded system.

 lOMoARcPSD|22015807

Before we proceed to explain the MySQL database system, let's revise a few definitions
related to databases.

● Database: A database is a collection of tables, with related data.

● Table: A table is a matrix with data. A table in a database looks like a simple
spreadsheet.
● Column: One column (data element) contains data of one and the same kind, for
example the column postcode.
● Row: A row (= tuple, entry or record) is a group of related data, for example the data
of one subscription.
● Redundancy: Storing data twice, redundantly to make the system faster.
● Primary Key: A primary key is unique. A key value cannot occur twice in one table.
With a key, you can find at most one row.
● Foreign Key: A foreign key is the linking pin between two tables.
● Compound Key: A compound key (composite key) is a key that consists of multiple
columns, because one column is not sufficiently unique.
● Index: An index in a database resembles an index at the back of a book.
● Referential Integrity: Referential Integrity makes sure that a foreign key value
always points to an existing row.
