 CHAPTER 3. MY CONTRIBUTION

Italian Food Outlets: Class Design

The Italian Food Outlets class is a specialized subclass of the generic
Food Outlets class. This design structure enables it to inherit essential
properties such as name and location, which are fundamental to all food
outlet types.

Class Definition and Implementation

1. Purpose and Representation:
The Italian Food Outlets class is designed to represent establishments
that specifically offer Italian cuisine. Each object instantiated from
this class corresponds to a unique shop providing Italian food.
2. Inheritance and Interface Implementation:
• The class extends the Food Outlets class, thereby inheriting its
core properties: name and location.
• Additionally, it implements the Outlet Details interface, which
mandates the inclusion of a showMenu method. This ensures that
each Italian Food Outlet object can display its menu, fulfilling the
interface’s contract and preventing the class from being abstract.
3. Composition with Italian Food:
The class contains a reference variable for an Italian Food object.
During the creation of an Italian Food Outlet instance, its constructor
initializes this reference by creating a new Italian Food object.
4. Menu Representation:
The Italian Food object within the class holds a two-dimensional array
property that represents the menu. This array is composed of objects
that detail individual menu items.

• Pizza Options:
– Name: Margherita, Price: 150
– Name: Cheese Burst, Price: 200
• Burger Options:
– Name: Mac Aloo Tikki, Price: 100
– Name: Maharaja Burger, Price: 250

 CHAPTER 3. MY CONTRIBUTION

3.4 Challenges
1. Implementing POJO Classes:

While working on the project, one of the initial challenges was

implementing Plain Old Java Object (POJO) classes in Android. Despite
understanding Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles,
translating these into efficient and effective POJO classes proved to be
more difficult than anticipated. This required a deeper understanding of
Java syntax and conventions, as well as how to properly encapsulate data
and ensure seamless data transfer within the application.

2. Fetching Data from Firebase and Storing it as JSON Objects:

While exploring Firebase for its beginner-friendly project capabilities, the

challenges are encountered in fetching data and storing it as JSON
objects. Managing asynchronous data fetching and real-time updates
posed initial challenges, necessitating a deeper understanding of
Firebase’s real-time database functionalities.

3. User Authentication with JWT:

Connecting Android frontend with [Link] backend for user

authentication using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) was pivotal and
challenging. Challenges included implementing secure token-based
authentication, managing user sessions across platforms, and ensuring
data integrity and security throughout the authentication process.
