Although the initial proposal was to use Mallard for the help mechanism, the research done and the progress of the project proved that simply using the current help content would serve the purpose. Therefore with the approval of the mentors, the implementation with Mallard is dropped.

Help content for the current Activity can be viewed in the Activity itself. It will pop up in a window when the user enters the key combination '''ctrl+shift+h'''. If there is no help content for the Activity, an error message will be written to the log. I have used the '''bundle_id''' of the Activity to match it with the corresponding help content file (in html).
