In project, there two main users i.e., Valet and Customer.
Initially I thought of creating specific registration layout to each user and added code respectively for ValetRegistration.class and CustRegistration.class and created layouts for both users.
But I felt that it would be redundant to use same functionality in two different classes. Later, I came up with an idea for creating field called type for categorizing both users.
During the registration time a user can type in either "Valet" or "Customer". I have chosen to use text instead of radio buttons.Because, In case of ratio buttons there is a chance for choosing a wrong user.
Initially, I have written code to authenticate using if and else loops. But, later I realized that I have to save the data in to database.I thought of use SQL lite database for storing data. I have tried using this database and came up with an idea to use a cloud database which would be better option for saving data in cloud.
I learned about the Progress Bar concept while creating registration page.
I learned about Toast concept to display text on screen when an on click event listener.
I have explored many relational databases and NoSQL databases. I chose to use NoSQL database in my project.
Finally came to decision of using Firebase database. I got to explore many features of firebase. Looking forward to learn more about the Firebase.I have learned that a single field can reduce lots of redundant code. I have chosen to authenticate users Firebase Authentication.I learned and explore many new things like Firebase and made major changes to my project so far by reducing lots of redundant code. I took more than 4 days for setting up the project and learn to solve many errors regarding syncing. I got to know about gradle builds.
