Emergency Aid

Emergency Aid-Android Application to detect Nearest Hospitals and Police Stations

Emergency aid is an android application developed by myself to detect the nearest hospitals and police stations and direct you in the shortest path available. In an emergency situation like a road accident, a fire, a natural disaster, a crime etc, it is difficult to find the nearest hospital and the nearest police station if we are not aware of area of the current place. Thus I thought of developing a mobile application for android platform as a solution for that.

The locations of the nearest hospitals and police stations locations are found by accessing the web service and the current location is detected by GPS. Then the nearest hospital and police station locations are found with respect to current location.


This application helps users to find nearest locations of hospitals and police stations, call them and request available services, view the locations in Google map,  get addresses and direction guide.

I have used 'Eclipse-Indigo' as my development IDE and Android SDK with ADT plugin for my application implementations. The web service is hosted by using Apache Axis2, in Tomcat server. In upcoming posts, I hope to illustrate in details what are the steps I have followed in developing this mobile app.
