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.
