Title
The News App with Embedded Dictionary Feature is a Kotlin Android application
designed to provide users with a seamless news browsing experience while incorporating a
built-in dictionary functionality. The app utilizes an external API to fetch real-time news
updates and integrates a dictionary hosted on a server to offer instant word meanings to
users upon selection.

Once the customer enters with his own username and password, at that time automatically
o e shopping cart will be created, once the user selects an item it will add to the cart. In case
the user thinks the selected item is not useful for me, then delete that item from the
shopping cart.

The customer selected some items, but in his credit or debit card haven't that much balance,
then he was logged out from the website, the selected items are stored at the cart with specific
users with his allotted carts, after some days he bought those items then automatically deleted
from the cart.

ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM
An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) is a data modelling technique that graphically
illustrates an information system’s entities and the relationships between those entities. An
ERD is a conceptual and representational model of data used to represent the entity
framework infrastructure.

1. Relationship
2. Entities
3. Attributes

 Relationship: It describes relationships between entities. Here, it shows the different

types of relationships in ERD:-
a) One-to-many relationship: There is one instance for entity A and there are
more than one instances for B.
b) One-to-one relationship: It represents one instance for entity A and only one
instance for entity B.
c) Many-to-many relationship: It represents more than one instance for entity B
and more than one instance for entity A.
d) Many-to-one relationship: It shows that there are many values for entity B but
there is one value for A.
 Entities: An entity is a real world object that is different from other entities. A type
is the description of entities which have common definition, common relationship,
and common attributes applied.

Steps involved in creating an ERD

 Identifying and defining the entities.
 Determining all interactions between the entities.
 Analysing the nature of interactions/ determining the cardinality of relationships.
 Creating the ERD.
Need of an ERD
 It shows the structural model of the system.
 It shows the database design.
 It shows the relationship between the entities of database.
 E R Diagram helps us to relate to constitute the system successfully.

Data Flow Diagram
The DFD takes an input-process-output view of a system i.e. data object flow into the
software, are transformed by processing elements, and resultant data objects flow out of the
software.
Data objects represented by labelled arrows and transformation are represented by circles
also called as bubbles. DFD is represented in a hierarchical fashion i.e. the first data flow
model represents the system as a whole. Subsequent DFD refine the context diagram (level
0 DFD), providing increasing details with each subsequent level.
The DFD enables the software engineer to develop models of the information domain &
functional domain at the same time. As the DFD is refined into greater levels of the details,
the analyst performs an implicit functional decomposition of the system. At the same time,
the DFD refinement results in a corresponding refinement of the data as it moves through
the process that embodies the applications.
A context-level DFD for the system the primary external entities produce information for
use by the system and consume information generated by the system. The labelled arrow
represents data objects or object hierarchy.
Graphical description of a system’s data and how the process Transform the data is drawn
as Data Flow Diagram or DFD.
To construct data flow diagrams, we use:
Arrow

Circle

Open Ended Box

Square

An External Entity Entity Name Source or sink of Data

Data Flow Direction of Data movement

Processes Transformation of input into

output

Data Store Data Store Name Warehouse for Data

Rules For DFD
 Fix the scope of the system by means of context diagrams.
 Organize the DFD so that it is the main sequence of the actions.
 Reads left to right and top to bottom.
 Identify all inputs and outputs.
 Identity and label each process internal to the system with Rounded circles.
 A process is required for all the data transformation and Transfers. Therefore, never
connect a data store to a data source or the destinations or another data store with just
a Data Flow arrow.
 Do not indicate hardware and ignore control information.
 Make sure the names of the processes accurately convey everything the process is
done.
 There must not be unnamed process.
 Indicate external sources and destinations of the data, with squares.
 Number each occurrence of repeated external entities.
 Identify all data flows for each process step, except simple Record retrievals.
 Label data flow on each arrow.
 Use detailed flow on each arrow.

Project Modules
This project contains 2 modules, these are:
 Admin
 News Articles

Module Description
I. Admin
Admin can change the news api source. Although there is no interface provided for
changing the news api source. It can only be changed through the source code.
II. News Articles
This module contains news articles. Here we can read any news article we want and
during reading any article if we don’t know the meaning of any word then we can tap
on that particular word and using the dictionary api it will fetch the meaning of that
word from the server.
