Android Grocery Management App

1) Background/ Problem Statement

With increased responsibility, it has become difficult for people to keep


track of the number and quantity of groceries available. Thus, a poor
grocery management system leads to the problem of not having
enough groceries when required. In this fast world, remembering the
groceries in the kitchen is really a tough job for people who are
involved in jobs away from home. A smart grocery management system
is in demand to keep track of the availability of grocery items in the
kitchens at home.

We have designed an Android Grocery Management App to tackle the


above-mentioned problem. Our project will help to keep track of the
grocery available. It can be applied anywhere where an efficient
management system is required, like homes, stores, restaurants, etc. To
enhance the user experience, we have also added a recipe feature
which will help the user to make interesting and delicious food items
with the available grocery in the inventory.
2) Working of the Project

The project comprises 1 module: User.


The user would require to register first to log in. After registering
successfully, the user can log in using their credentials. If the user
forgets their password, the system will send the existing password to
their email. The user will have the access to add, update and view items
in their inventory.

The system will even suggest recipes to the user based on the items
available in their inventory. The system will show the recipes by
searching 60% of ingredients that matches the items in the inventory. In
the recipe ingredients, the system will also show how much quantity is
required and how much quantity of ingredients is available.

The user can view the list of all the recipes included by them as well as
the others. While adding ingredients to the recipe, they can either
choose from the items already available in the inventory or add a new
one. They can also edit and delete any recipes they have added.

The user can scan the barcode of any item, if that item is available in
the inventory, they can update it or else the system will ask them to add
it to the list. In the Shopping list, the user can manage the items they
want to shop for in their inventory.

In this project, the front end involves XML and the back end MSSQL.
The programming language is JAVA. The IDE used is Android Studio.

5) Project Life Cycle

The waterfall model is a classical model used in the system


development life cycle to create a system with a linear and sequential
approach. It is termed a waterfall because the model develops
systematically from one phase to another in a downward fashion. The
waterfall approach does not define the process to go back to the
previous phase to handle changes in requirements. The waterfall
approach is the earliest approach that was used for software
development.
6) System Requirements

I. Hardware Requirement

i. Laptop or PC
