Analysis and Design of Android-Based Food Sharing Applications

Food wastage problem is becoming an increasingly pressing issue. Food sharing concept is one of many ways that could be effective to overcome this problem. Food sharing is a concept in which food that is still up for consumption are distributed for those in need, so that it can reduce food wastage. The purpose of this research is to design and develop an Android-based food sharing application. Data collection method in this research was using questionnaire and literature study regarding the development of food sharing application called FShare. System development using waterfall method. System design method using the Unified Modeling Language. Database design using the Entity Relationship Diagram. Black box testing for evaluation and the Eight Golden Rules for interface evaluation. The application brings together food donor with receiver in need. The result of this research is that an application has been made with features such as donating and receiving food with verification, location tracking on a map with GPS, and report feature for reporting food-related problems. From the system and interface evaluation that carried out towards the application, it can be concluded that the application has getting status that is in accordance with expected function and the application is in line with the Eight Golden Rules.
