Behind the scenes

Before launch

Start screen • When you launch the application it requests the web service to fetch all the stores in the database. • Starts with displaying a map with pins showing nearby grocery stores from the default location. • Location services should be on; if not the user will be requested to turn on the services.

Application settings • Default latitude and longitude can be changed through the settings. • There is an option of changing the search radius.

Product list • On clicking a grocery store the web service reads the storeid from the request URL sent by the application through GET method of PHP. • Appropriate query is executed and the list of products and corresponding coupons are fetched. • The result of the query is changed into XML format and sent to the application.

Viewing Coupons • By selecting the required products in the list, the list is ready to shop. • There is an option of viewing the coupon specific to a product in form of an image.

Products sorted as per their aisle • The products which were selected get sorted according to their aisle and get populated in the list. • These products are ready to be shopped.
