Languages and Applications Used

We will be detailing the software, languages and frameworks used to build the app:

  1. Android Studio: It is the official integrated development environment(IDE) for Android application development. It incorporates various code editing and developer tools for a smooth and user-friendly user experience. It also has various options to run and debug code. Android Studio uses a build automation tool known as Gradle for compiling, linking and packaging the code. We had learnt to use Android Studio as a part of our course.

  2. Java: Java is a general purpose programming language which provides object oriented programming concepts like encapsulation and inheritance. We used Java for Backend programming.

  3. XML: XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. It is generally used to develop web pages and web applications. XML has advantages like letting the user make their own descriptive tags based on his/her needs. We used XML for frontend programming.                                                                 
  4. Firebase: Google Firebase is Google-backed application development software which allows developers to develop Android, IOS and Web apps. It can be used for user authentication and to host a real time database.
  5. Figma: Figma is graphics and UI design app. It can be used to build mobile interfaces. Figma helped us make a rough app design and decide on what components to add to the app.

App Features(Vendor)

Here we talk about the Vendor's side of the app:  The Vendor Homepage contains a fragment that displays the corresponding layout of the item clicked in the sidebar. As soon as the vendor is logged in OutletMenu Fragment is called which displays the menu of the vendor's outlet, where the vendor and add, update and delete items from his menu. Based on the customer's requirements and usability, we have developed an exclusive set of fragments and an activity. OutletMenu: This fragment will be called default after the vendor is logged in. It displays the menu of the vendor's outlet. It contains a recycler view, which populates itself using outletMenu_adapter by querying the Menu corresponding to the vendor's outlet in the Database using Firebase UI. The vendor also has the option to edit and delete items from the existing menu. When the vendor clicks on the edit option, a Dialog using DialogPlus class is built and the current values are retrieved from the databases an...

App Features(Customer)

Here, we talk about the Customer's side of the app: The customer Homepage contains a fragment that displays the corresponding layout of the item clicked in the sidebar. As soon as the customer is logged in OutletList Fragment is called which displays the list of outlets present, where clicking on a particular outlet, will take them to the particular menu of the outlet. We've used Firebase UI in all fragments. Firebase UI is a class provided by Firebase SDK to make a query in the database to fetch appropriate data. Based on the customer's requirements and usability, we have developed an exclusive set of fragments. OutletList: This fragment will be called after the user is logged in. It will consist of a list of eateries that are open at any given time. It contains a recycler view, which populates itself using outletList_adapter by querying the List of Vendors in the Database using Firebase UI.  OutletMenu: On selecting one of the outlets, this fragment is called which di...
