Android is an open source mobile phone operating system based on Linux platform, is the result of cooperative development with the open mobile phone alliance, is one of the most important development platform for mobile phone today. The Android platform is made up of the operating system, the middleware,the user interface and the application software, is the first for mobile terminal to create a truly open and complete mobile software platform. Android platform is more powerful than other mobile phone on search function, we can say that it is an integration of all Web application platform. Based on these we have every reason to believe that the future prospects of Android will be more and more broad.This paper mainly introduces the development process of tourist guide application in the Android platform. Firstly introduce the development environment of the app which needs to be set up, and briefly state the function and using method of each file in the application project, also introduce the five components of the Android. Then create the first Activity of the tourist guide application, at the same time realize the application’s user interface, complete switching between the two user interface and data transfer through the Intent. Finally use SQLite database to add and query the application’s data, at the same time, the data in the database is bound to the corresponding user interface components. After the completion of the function of the application, the Android automated testing tools MonkeyRunner is used to realize the function test. In this paper,the application is developed with Java language, developed in the application layer of Android when using Eclipse as a development tool.This paper uses the related theory knowledge to realize the functionality of the tourist guide application step by step. Finally, the effect of demo application is implemented in Android simulator. This app can be used in the case when the Internet can’t be connected, provides great convenience for the user.
