Bingo Deals: 2nd year SEProject - Part II - Project Schedule


Bingo Deals
2nd year software engineering project
Shiluka Raveen Dharmasena
Undergraduate
Computer Science and Engineering
University of Moratuwa





Main objective of this app is to send deal alerts when the locations are discovered. If mobile has GPS, deals can be sent as mails (notification popup). Addition to that it finds user’s current location plotted on a map and displays details of nearby discovered sites such as address, phone number, distance from current location, ratings, reviews etc.


Tasks

 1. Research into project and the tools available
   

   I. Research about the Google map API
  • Permissions to get from the google api console, Research about JSON parser, Place JSON    parser, DirectionsJSON parsers. Research about google nearbyplaces and google directions api.
  II. Research about push notifications & databases at the server
  • GCM (google cloud message) server, SQLite database (inside android os), SQLiteOpenHelper.
 III. Research about locations tracker
  • How to get current location, get latitude and longitude using gps or from the network.

2.  Design the app
     

    I. Design the user’s location identification and nearby sites discovering systems
  • Get the current Location of the user. Using gps or the network available. Get the nearest places of the user using Google map api
  II. Design the databases
  • Design the GCM user database, Sites Database (to keep static deals), and the SQLite database to keep the live messages.
 III. Design the deals/discounts sending system
  • Use GCM to send deals to users via (push  notifications)

3. Implementation and Testing of location identification the app
    

    I. Implement the user’s location identification system and test
  • Implement the GPS tracker, get the permission from google api. Unit testing the system.
  II. Implement the nearby sites discovering system and test
  • Get the nearby places by sending http request and use google nearby places request to get nearby places of a given location. Unit test the sub system.
 III. Implement the get direction to the given location system and test
  • Implement JSONDirection parser
  IV. Implement the server and the live message database systems and test
  • Implement the GCM user database, Site database to keep deals, SQLite database to keep live messages and test
   V. Implement the deals/discounts sending system (push notification system) and test
  • Implement GCM push notification system, modify GCMBaseIntentService.
  VI. Final Testings
  • Test the final product as integrating testing. Connect the entire unit test together and testing.
 VII. Documentation 
  •  Documented Final Project Report

Library Management System: Database Project - Part III - Database Design

Image
  LMS   Library Management System for Imaginary University    2nd year Database Project There are Four main entities Item : a book or as CD which can be borrow from the library Member : a registered member of the library who will be a student or a staff member Location : the physical location where an item is stored in the library Operator : a library staff member who will interact with members of the library. That is they will add/update data about members, transactions and items in the library Entity Relationship Diagram (ER Diagram) ER diagram There can be many copies of the same item (Book or CD). However since we need to identify each item separately so that each of them are given a unique id which is the 'item_id'. Storing common details of the same copies of items make redundancy, the details of items are decomposed into separate tables named 'book_details' and 'CD_details'. A member can borrow four books (or CDs) at a time and

Library Management System: Database Project - Part I - Introduction

Image
  LMS   Library Management System for Imaginary University    2nd year Database Project Database management is a wide area of computer science which is essential in most of the applications in order to store and handle data proper and efficient way. Library management system is one of a most frequently used application of database management systems where there is a chunk of information to store and record daily. Background University of ABC is a imaginary university of about 12000 students and 1000 of staff. The library system of the university facilitates all students, academic and non academic staff by providing access to the library. Anyone of the university can read books or other documents at the library, but in order to borrow them one should register and get the membership. The membership is valid only for a year and that should be updated afterwards. After getting the membership, a member can borrow 4 books at a time and maximum burrowed period is 2 weeks. Users

Library Management System: Database Project - Part V - Finalize Database

Image
  LMS   Library Management System for Imaginary University    2nd year Database Project In order to maximize the use of system resources to perform work as efficiently and rapidly as possible the views and indices to be used were confirmed and some of the views were decided to materialize. In the application a user can search a book based on its authors, title and subject as well as ISBN number. Therefore by creating indices on tilte, authors and subjects the database can access relevant entries more efficiently. Since the table book_details is not updated frequently this will not cause for any low performance of the database. book_details create index book_title on book_details(title); create index book_publisher on book_details(publisher); create index book_category on book_details(category); cd_details create index cd_title on cd_details(title); create index cd_publisher on cd_details(publisher); create index cd_category on cd_details(category); borrows create
