Economical | Devpost

Inspiration

Helping the homeless, reducing wasted food, providing cheap and nutritious options for food are all our inspiration for this project.

Economical provides a catalog of food showing the cheapest foods first. People can look at the catalog and find the cheapest food items.

We used android studio and implemented the NCR API through postman and HTTP requests using OKHTTP.

Formatting the JSON data and consolidating the relevant keys were a challenge.

We were able to connect to the NCR API by using Postman. We used the Java OKHTTP library and we were able to display the JSON data.

We got more familiar with Android Studio, learned about API's and how to pull and parse HTTP requests. We learned more about JSON objects and arrays.

We plan on improving the overall design.

I worked on the back-end and front-end design. We chose to use Android Studio in order to implement an app that can help save people money.

Worked on the backend, on how to implement the APIs and to retrieve the data from it. I have worked with APIs before using python. Doing it with java in this project was very challenging at times but an amazing and enlightening experience in the same time. Seeing projects come to life is always rewarding.
