  Meals List

Inspiration: One of our teammates lives off-campus and explained the difficulty he faces in preparing meals, which inspired us to create an app to help

Design Goals: Simple design and convenience-focused meals Appealing color palette Ideal for college students living off-campus Large body of meals

Challenges: None of us had any experience with Android Studio and only limited experience with Java. We attempted to implement at SQLite database but had issues connecting to a server and scrapped the idea in order to finish on time We had a difficult time organizing all of our meal data but eventually found a system for storing and reading the data from a file

Technical details: Meal scraper - separate python script used to gather recipes from allrecipes.com Meal class - Holds all information about a meal, including title, description, category, ingredients, etc. Icons sourced from creative commons sources and drawn using paint.net

For the future: Implement SQLite database to more efficiently load meals and to be able to sort by category Recommendation feature: Tack user's preferences, time of day, location, etc. to recommend meals
