Feed Me! was created to solve a simple problem that existed: deciding where to eat. We as friends, faced this question on almost a daily basis every time we went out for a meal. We set out to solve this issue by creating an Android application, integrating what we learned in the CSCI 2020U course along with previous knowledge we had of programming in Java and Android. Combining all of this, we created Feed Me! A sleek, intuitive and user friendly app where hundreds of local restaurants are only a few taps away.
The following are the features of the app:
- Utilizes Google APIs to find restaurants
- Fetches restaurant hours, address and contact information
- All information consolodated within a central interface
- Displays all nearby restaurants based on users location
- Displays search history with the option to clear data on demand
- Adheres to Google Material Design guidelines
- Android 5.0+ compatible
The following are requirements to compile and install the Android application:
- Android Studio v2.3.1
- Device must be running Android 5.0 or above
- Device must have USB debugging enabled
- The device must have a GPS module and network connection to use the application
