Abstract: Mobile phones are the most commonlyused communication tools. Using mobile phones to obtaininformation is not only quick, but also more convenient shortcutto improve people's lives. In the paper, we propose the softwaredevelopment architecture based on Web services. Thisframework introduces the three-layer architecture of Webdevelopment into mobile phone software development. Based on\the three-layer architecture, the android based city tour guide\system is developed. This application to identify the places in video wise. We are using the Android Mobile Phone and 2.3 android version supporting mobiles. KeywordsAndroid Service, TourVideo Guide, Three-layer architecture. I.INTRODUCTION Android has a growing selection of third party applications, which can be acquired by users either through an Appstore such as Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, or by downloading and installing the application's APK file from a third-party site. The Play Store application allows users to browse, download and update apps published by Google and third-party developers, and is pre-installed on devices that comply with Google's compatibility requirements. The app filters the list of available applications to those that are compatible with the user's device, and developers may restrict their applications to particular carriers or countries for business reasons. Purchases of unwanted applications can be refunded within 15 minutes of the time of download and some carriers offer direct carrier billing for Google Play application purchases, where the cost of the application is added to the user's monthly bill. As of September 2012, there were more than 675,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded from the Play Store was 25 billion. Applications are developed in the Java language using the Android software development kit (SDK). The SDK includes a comprehensive set of development tools including a debugger, software libraries, a handset emulator based on QEMU, documentation, sample code, and tutorials. The officially supported integrated development environment (IDE) is Eclipse using the Android Development Tools (ADT) plugin. Other development tools are available, including a Native Development Kit for applications or extensions in C or C++, Google App Inventor, a visual environment for novice programmers, and various cross platform mobile web applications frameworks. We design and implement Android based city guide system which can provide user with the information of hotel, attractions, restaurant etc. in city. Suppose you are travelling in a famous city which you are not familiar, it is difficult to find a hotel, scenery, traffic or featured restaurant for a stranger. At this scenario, you can resort to your smart phone which you bring in your pocket.Android is based on Linux ® V2.6 kernel of theopen-source mobile phone operating system announced byGoogle in November 2007. Initially, Android's goal is todeploy the mobile phone sector, including smart phones and cheaper flip phone. However, Android comprehensive computing services and rich functional support have the ability to fully extend beyond the mobile phone market.Android can also be used other platform is very bright.
