CONCLUSION
 ABSTRACT

The use of mobile devices has increased significantly in the past decade. All these
devices use applications that are created for them. These applications can provide many
different services including, social media, music streaming, video streaming, ride
sharing, online shopping, and video games.
Some of these apps need to be constantly connected to the internet to function properly,
while others can work offline.

This paper presents a food recipe cross-platform application that helps users find and
view different food recipes based on different categories, as well as allowing them to
search recipes of their comfort using smart search-filters and categories. The users can
filter the list of recipes based on the ingredients used in the recipe, the prep time, cook
time, and diet.
The app aspires to run efficiently, while having an elegant user experience with essential
functionality that of an online application and yet remaining completely offline.
 1. INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, it is safe to admit that the world has attained the form of global village,
where everything is accessible through technology. The advent of mobile phone has
shaped the life of many people. It is hard to pass a day by without checking and
rechecking your social network accounts. This can merely assert that mobile
applications has already made their ways to our lives.Research shows that regularly
eating home-cooked meals as a family is linked to healthier and happier kids, and
teens who are less likely to use alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes. According to Butler,
“In recent years, the emergence of smart phones has changed the definition of
mobile phones. Phone is no longer just a communication tool, but also an essential
part of the people's communication and daily life. Various applications added
unlimited fun for people's lives. It is certain that the future of the network will be
the mobile terminal.”

 .SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

3.1 Problem statement:

Whether people love to cook or just love to eat, they have a collection of dishes and
recipes they'd like to try. Maybe they have a bunch handed down from a loved one.
In either case, they certainly need a better method to keep them organized for the
long haul than a bunch of index cards in a file folder, which old and tedious.
Therefore, cooking with your phone is a lot tastier when you have the right recipes.

Adults also reap considerable benefits from eating home-cooked meals. Research
finds that people who eat home-cooked meals on a regular basis tend to be happier
and healthier and consume less sugar and processed foods, which can result in
higher energy levels and better mental health. Eating home-cooked meals five or
more days a week is even associated with a longer life.

1.2 Objectives:

The objective of this project is to develop a “Recited” mobile application to be used

to elevate user kitchen skills, instead of using index cards in a file folder. In other
words,Recited will turn your phone into a pocket souls chef.

1.3 Motivation:

Recited application is a very useful app for people who love to cook and try out
new recipes. It provides user flexibility to search and save recipes from a database
and deleting recipe that are no longer required. This application is a time saver
providing recipes in few clicks. The interface is clean and simple. It makes use of
Flutter containers capability to display options on home screen with image icons.
The user can search recipes, view added favourite recipe list all from home screen.

 Non-Functional Requirements:

Non-functional analysis contains about the application analysis of the user's

interest level. In
this section will explain how the application is tested in such a way and get the
user's assessment
of the appropriateness and condition of the application.

• Security:
The data within the application must be protected from tampering.

 4. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

4.1 Existing System:

Surely there are many recipe apps that offer wide varieties of options to choose
from, but most of them are online only and those that are offline lack either that
multi-tube of options and devoid of proper UX and structure.

The feasibility study, as its name indicates, aims at assessing the practicality of the
proposed project. As stated in the Initial Specifications Report, the objective of this
project is to develop a “Recited” mobile application to be used to elevate user’s
kitchen skills and streamline grocery shopping, instead of using index cards in a file
folder.

4.2 Proposal system:

We are developing an application to help people who are having problems with
internet, while retaining all the features that make an online app great and more
features than some existing ones.
We are using dart and flutter to develop our native app to both IOS, Android, etc...,.
Dart/fitter allows dews to developed native apps for multiple platforms from a
single code base.

4.3 Summary:

The goal of this step is to ensure that the requirements are consistent, precise and
complete to ensure that we meet the final outcome expectations. There are two
types of requirements: functional and non-functional requirements. The functional
requirements are the ones that describes the functions of the app; whereas, the non-
functional requirements are the ones that present the app constraints and properties.

 5.SYSTEM DESIGN

5.1 System architecture:

Figure1: System architecture

System architecture describes the organization of the system in terms of structure

and behaviour by representing the different components and the relationship
between them. The architecture of this system is composed of a mobile device
(IOS/Android) that allows the users to make use of the application and its different
functionalities of the system.
The Database is part of the application is composed of various lists of dictionaries.
Whenever the user sends a request, the application sends the appropriate parameters
based on the request to List builder that generates appropriate response by making
use of the database.

5.3 Entity Relationship Diagram:
This flowchart illustrates how “entities” such as Users, objects or concepts relate to
each other within a system. They mirror grammatical structure, with entities as
nouns and relationships as verbs.

4.5 Android Application Design:
The Android’s user interface is built around Activities which are single focused
thing that a user can do. They are directly related to the functional requirement
defined for the application. Following are the derived, from the user requirements,
activities that should be implemented to fulfil the functional requirements .

4.6 Activity Diagram:

This is another important behavioural diagram in UML diagram to describe

dynamic aspects of the system. It is essentially an advanced version of flow chart
that modelling the flow from one activity to another activity.

4.7 Class Diagram:

Class diagrams are the main building block in object-oriented modelling. They are
used to show the different objects in a system, their attributes, their operations and
the relationships among them. In our example, “recipes” are depicted.

 5.IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 Environmental Setup:

1. Setting up ‘Environment’ for application
2. Flutter Setup

System requirements:

To install and run Flutter, your development environment must

meet these minimum requirements:

 Operating Systems: Windows 7 SP1 or later (64-bit), x86-64

based
 Disk Space: 1.32 GB (does not include disk space for IDE/tools).
 Tools: Flutter depends on these tools being available in your
environment.
o Windows Power Shell 5.0 or newer (this is pre-installed with
Windows 10)
o Git for Windows 2.x, with the Use Git from the Windows
Command Prompt option.

If Git for Windows is already installed, make sure you can

run git commands from the command prompt or Power Shell.

Get the Flutter SDK

1. Download the following installation bundle to get the latest stable
release of the Flutter SDK:

flutter_windows_1.22.5-stable.zip

For other release channels, and older builds, see the SDK
releases page.

2. Extract the zip file and place the contained flutter in the desired
installation location for the Flutter SDK (for example, C:\src\
flutter).

Warning: Do not install Flutter in a directory like C:\Program Files\ that

requires elevated privileges.

15
 If you don’t want to install a fixed version of the installation
bundle, you can skip steps 1 and 2. Instead, get the source code
from the Flutter repo on Git Hub, and change branches or tags as
needed. For example:

content_ copy

C:\src>git clonehttps://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable

You are now ready to run Flutter commands in the Flutter Console.

Update your path

If you wish to run Flutter commands in the regular Windows
console, take these steps to add Flutter to the PATH environment
variable:

 From the Start search bar, enter ‘env’ and select Edit
environment variables for your account.
 Under User variables check if there is an entry called Path:
o If the entry exists, append the full path to flutter\bin using ; as
a separator from existing values.n
o If the entry doesn’t exist, create a new user variable
named Path with the full path to flutter\bin as its value.

You have to close and reopen any existing console windows for these
changes to take effect.

Note: As of Flutter’s 1.19.0 dev release, the Flutter SDK contains

the dart command alongside the flutter command so that you can more easily
run Dart command-line programs. Downloading the Flutter SDK also downloads
the compatible version of Dart, but if you’ve downloaded the Dart SDK separately,
make sure that the Flutter version of dart is first in your path, as the two versions
might not be compatible. The following command (on macOS, line x, and chrome
OS), tells you whether the flutter and dart commands originate from the
same bin directory and are therefore compatible. (Some versions of Windows
support a similar where command.)

content_copy
$ which flutter dart
/path-to-flutter-sad/bin/flutter
/user/local/bin/dart
As shown above, the two commands don’t come from the same bin directory.
Update your path to use commands
from /path-to-flutter-sad/bin before commands
from /user/local/bin (in this case). After updating your shell for the change
16
to take effect, running which or where command again should show that
the flutter and dart commands now come from the same directory.

Content_copy
$ which flutter dart
/path-to-flutter-sad/bin/flutter
/path-to-flutter-sad/bin/dart
To learn more about the dart command, run dart -h from the command line, or
see the dart tool page.
Run flutter doctor
From a console window that has the Flutter directory in the path
(see above), run the following command to see if there are any
platform dependencies you need to complete the setup:

content_ copy
C:\src\flutter>flutter doctor
This command checks your environment and displays a report of
the status of your Flutter installation. Check the output carefully
for other software you might need to install or further tasks to
perform (shown in bold text).

For example:

Content _ copy
[-] Android tool chain - develop for Android devices
• Android SDK at D:\Android\sdk
✗ Android SDK is missing command line tools; download
from https://goo.gl/XxQghQ
• Try re-installing or updating your Android SDK,
visit https://flutter.dev/setup/#android-setup for
detailed instructions.
The following sections describe how to perform these tasks and
finish the setup process. Once you have installed any missing
dependencies, you can run the flutter doctor command again
to verify that you’ve set everything up correctly.

Note: If flutter doctor returns that either the Flutter plug-in or Dart plug-in
of Android Studio are not installed, move on to Set up an editor to resolve this
issue.
Warning: The flutter tool uses Google Analytics to anonymously report
feature usage statistics and basic crash reports. This data is used to help improve
Flutter tools over time.

Flutter tool analytics are not sent on the very first run. To disable reporting,
type flutter confer --no-analytics. To display the current setting,
17
 type flutter confer .If you opt out of analytics, an opt-out event is sent, and
then no further information is sent by the Flutter tool.

By downloading the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service. Note:
The Google Privacy Policy describes how data is handled in this service.

Moreover, Flutter includes the Dart SDK, which may send usage metrics and crash
reports to Google.

Android setup
Note: Flutter relies on a full installation of Android Studio to supply its Android
platform dependencies. However, you can write your Flutter apps in a number of
editors; a later step discusses that.
Install Android Studio

1. Download and install Android Studio.

2. Start Android Studio, and go through the ‘Android Studio Setup
Wizard’. This installs the latest Android SDK, Android SDK
Command-line Tools, and Android SDK Build-Tools, which are
required by Flutter when developing for Android.

Set up your Android device

To prepare to run and test your Flutter app on an Android device,
you need an Android device running Android 4.1 (API level 16) or
higher.

1. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on your device.

Detailed instructions are available in the Android documentation.
2. Windows-only: Install the Google USB Driver.
3. Using a USB cable, plug your phone into your computer. If
prompted on your device, authorize your computer to access your
device.
4. In the terminal, run the flutter devices command to verify that
Flutter recognizes your connected Android device. By default,
Flutter uses the version of the Android SDK where your adb tool is
based. If you want Flutter to use a different installation of the
Android SDK, you must set the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment
variable to that installation directory.

Set up the Android emulator

18
 To prepare to run and test your Flutter app on the Android
emulator, follow these steps:

1. Enable VM acceleration on your machine.

2. Launch Android Studio, click the AVD Manager icon, and
select Create Virtual Device…
o In older versions of Android Studio, you should instead
launch Android Studio > Tools > Android > AVD
Manager and select Create Virtual Device….
(The Android submenu is only present when inside an Android
project.)
o If you do not have a project open, you can choose Conferure >
AVD Manager and select Create Virtual Device…
3. Choose a device definition and select Next.
4. Select one or more system images for the Android versions you
want to emulate, and select Next. An x86 or x86_64 image is
recommended.
5. Under Emulated Performance, select Hardware - GLES 2.0 to
enable hardware acceleration.
6. Verify the AVD conferuration is correct, and select Finish.

For details on the above steps, see Managing AVDs.

7. In Android Virtual Device Manager, click Run in the toolbar. The

emulator starts up and displays the default canvas for your
selected OS version and device.

5.2 Module Description:

Application compatible with phones supporting different versions. Further, the

mobile application has many The implementation took roughly three months and
involved coding every single day to finally arrive at the final product. The
implementation was about designing activities, which are similar to pages in web
applications, creating and linking the graphical user interface with the
functionalities. Every time we implemented a functionality, we tested it directly on
the AVD emulator and my android phone so as to get a real life representation of
what the application would look like on our clients’ mobile phones. We also
managed to make the mobile features:

1 .Smart search-filters:

19
Users can search or filter recipes by name-base ingredients and diet. When user
searches for an ingredient, all the related recipes to that ingredient will be shown to
the user and search based on diet is also displayed. For example, some people are
allergic to some ingredients and wish not to include them in their meal So the user
will be able to search the recipe based on diet or other requirement factors.The
search filter will return the appropriate recipes depending on the type of the search .

2. Categorized view:
In our application all recipes are categorized into various cuisine, food types, diets
and varieties. We collected the exclusive authentic recipes of various countries and
their cuisines are categorized on the type of food and the specific diet that the user
is seeking for and varieties.

3. Curated Collections:
We’ve gathered recipes from famous chefs around the world and listed their
signature recipes and collected various information and data about these recipes
from popular website and articles.

4. Pantry Manager:
Every user can manage their own personal pantry with the help of a pantry
manager, which we have included in our application.

5. Meal Planner:
One of the best solutions for busy people to eat better at home is to plan and prep
ahead. Preparing nutritious and delicious meals at home is especially critical these
days when eating out and food shopping are more challenging. For many people, it
can be hard to get started.So, our Meal planner feature enables the user to plan their
meal ahead of time or occasional dishes for special events and set a remainder with
meal planner
20
6. Shopping list:
We have also given a feature where the user can add ingredients into the shopping
list. So that the user can track all the missing ingredients and purchase them all at
once later when he/she visits for a grocery shopping.These shopping list feature
take out all the work for you, whether you want to share a virtual list with your
family and friends, or check out the nutrition facts for whatever you're buying.It can
be used and created by more than just a cell phone, as some apps can integrate with
smartwatches.

7. Skill Guide and Glossary:

Under the skill guide and glossary section, we’ll provide the user with various
information on cooking techniques. Like knife skills, etc. and including a
‘Dictionary’ to understand common culinary terminology. This section is basically
dedicated to the starters who does not have experience and match knowledge in
cooking.

Friendly and flexible GUI

My app has a friendly and flexible Graphical User Interface. I have used Picasso as
an image loader. Also, I made sure that every single layout is scrollable. I have used
“Photoshop” as a soft ware to design the buttons, layouts and “Text views”
backgrounds.

21
• View Recipe

Figure 11: User viewing the recipe

The user shall be able to see the recipes in the application. In other words, the user
shall be able to access the Recipe Forum, where all the user’s recipes are posted and
ordered by date of creation. Our application allows user to view recipe list with
images and title. Single recipe can be viewed with images, recipe title, and details
cooking directions.

Figure 12: Viewing the name of the recipe

22
• Search for a Recipe
Any registered user shall able to search for a recipe using the title as a criterion. The
search functionality will provide the users with a shortcut to find their targeted
recipes if posted before by the users.

• View Ingredients
The user of the app shall be able to view ingredients of a certain recipe. This option
will allow him/her to mark those ingredients as needed, and ultimately find them in
the shopping list.

Figure 13: Ingredients of the above recipe

Figure 14: User adding the recipe as his/her favourite

23
• Add Recipe as Favourite
Once the user accesses the recipe information, he/she shall be able to mark a recipe
as favourite. Our application allows user to save recipe as favourite. When user
performs search operation, result is list of recipes. Each recipe in list has favourite
button on it. User can add recipe by clicking on favourite button. Heart in Figure 31
is to add to favourite button.

• View My Favourite Recipes

The user shall be able to access the recipes that he/she marked as favourite .

Figure 15: User can view his /her favourite recipe

5.3 Software Description:

The choice of technology enablers that will be used for the development of the
application is essential for its success. The technology enablers should provide a
suitable way to fulfil the requirements stated before. Principles of enterprise class
applications should be kept in mind during the choice of these technologies. The
two main ones are that there is no best technology but instead suitable ones and that
we shouldn’t reinvent the wheel which means that we should take advantage on
what was already implemented and offered to the community.

ANDROID STUDIO:
• Android Studio is Android's official IDE. It is purpose built for Android to
accelerate your development and help you build the highest-quality apps for every
Android device. It offers tools custom-tailored for Android developers, including
24
 rich code editing, debugging, testing, and profiling tools. I have selected Android
Studio for the following reasons:
• Instant Run: When you click Run or Debug, Android Studio's Instant Run feature
pushes code and resource changes to your running app. It intelligently understands
the changes and often delivers them without restarting your app or rebuilding your
APK, so you can see the effects immediately.
Intelligent Code Editor:The code editor helps you write better code, work faster,
and be more productive by offering advanced code completion, refactoring, and
code analysis.
• Optimized For All Android Devices: Android Studio provides a unified
environment where you can build apps for Android phones, tablets, Android Wear,
Android TV, and Android Auto. Structured code modules allow you to divide your
project into units of functionality that you can independently build, test, and debug .

Android Virtual Device (AVD)

• AVD emulator that can be used instead of the Android device. In somecases, it's as
good as or better than developing on actual devices.

Notepad++
• Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports
several languages.

hours), no more than 8 hours.\n4 Prepare grill: Prepare your grill so that one
side is quite hot over direct heat, the other side cooler, not over direct
heat. If using charcoal, leave one side of the grill without coals, so you
have a hot side and a cooler side. If you are using a gas grill, just turn on
one-half of the burners.\nUse tongs to wipe the grill grates with a paper
towel soaked in vegetable oil.\n5 Shake off excess marinade, place chicken on
hot side of grill: Take the chicken out of the marinade and shake off the

The app development will consist of five parts. The first part will be devoted to data
gathering and software requirements specification. Consequently, I will have a look
at different mobile apps which target the same goal. They are plenty of Recipe
Organizer apps. Each one has some various features.

The second part will be dedicated to the design phase, including the app and the
database. Also, in this phase, the software tools to be used will be specified. For
example, the IDE, the database, the modelling language for the design, and finally
the software testing tools. The third part will be the implementation phase, here, the
39
design will be converted to code in order to develop the targeted app. The fourth
step will be devoted to testing the app. In this phase, two testing methods will be
used, namely: Black Box testing and White box testing. The last phase will be the
deployment phase.

CONCLUSION

The Recetté application meets with the enterprise class application principles. It is
designed to be performing, scalable, extensible and highly available. Given that it
may be improved in many ways, the application is also easily maintainable.

This document summarizes the work that has been done since the beginning of this
semester. Indeed, it starts by giving an overview about the project specification and
requirements.
47
The document also states the methodology followed and which consists of 5 main
parts:
The first part will be devoted to data gathering and software requirements
specification. Consequently, I will have a look at different mobile apps which target
the same goal. They are plenty of Cookbook apps. Each one has some various
features.

The second part will be dedicated to the design phase, including the app and the
database. Also, in this phase, the software tools to be used will be specified. For
example, the IDE, the modelling language for the design, and finally the software
testing tools.

The third part will be the implementation phase, here, the design will be converted
to code in order to develop the targeted app.The last phase will be the deployment
phase.
