Question

Create a JAVA program for a Kiosk management system.

A local kiosk in your neighborhood has been heavily challenged by the manual system currently used to manage the kiosk’s day to day operations. The kiosk management have been informed of your newly acquired knowledge in application development and have approached you to create an electronic management system. The system is meant to help the Kiosk in managing its stock and finances; with this in mind your application should then offer different menu levels:

1. Landing page(login menu)

2. Main menu

The landing page should give a brief description of the Kiosk such as the Name, address and motto, login menu options are as follows (decorations up to your own choosing):

* Welcome to X Kiosk *

* <<information here>> *

******************************

1. Login as Admin

2. Login as Teller/Shop assistant

3. Quit

The application should prompt the user for login details and authenticate the provided details against information in the system. Once logged in, the system will then offer different options following the selected profile. The Admin should have privilege to restock/ add new items to the shop, change prices, add new Tellers, print out a summary of all items in stock, and print out only items that need restocking(all items below 25 need to be restocked, hence the quantity of 25 is the re-order level) or exit (create a menu for these options). The Tellers should be able to sell items, print out summary of all items in stock, print out a summary of items sold during all his/her sales and exit, You are expected to create this menu as well.

When an item is sold a receipt is printed that contains the following details: the item name, quantity, price and total, it should also give a description of the change given out, see below example (decoration up to your own choosing):

* X Kiosk *

* <<information here>> *

Answer 1

Kisok applications are utilized as a part of an extensive variety of businesses, for example, keeping money, instruction, retail, travel, and amusement, filling in as data focuses, POS, and item advancement apparatuses. At whatever point it is conceivable to expand the human-went to benefit with programmed exchanges, stands come in play. It isn't unprecedented these days to buy a motion picture ticket, picWeb-based Java Swing Kiosk Applicationk an outfit in an extensive store, or registration on a flight in a matter of minutes utilizing a specific stand.

With regards to the advancement of use programming for booths, there are absolutely changes and traps known to the business. We've run over a much of the time made inquiry of how to empower a program based application to be keep running in stand mode. Such an application would be less demanding to help, keep up, and overhaul contrasted with an application based on a particular stand advancement stage.

In this article, we will demonstrate to make a cross-work area booth application that keeps running on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and presentations current web content utilizing Java Swing GUI Toolkit and our library in light of the Chromium motor—JxBrowser.

Stand App Requirements

There are a ton of strategies and instruments you can use to assemble booth applications. Generally, the fundamental necessity for a stand application is that it ought not permit end clients to change to different applications running in nature (overseers may have the capacity to cooperate with other programming, yet not the end clients). Along these lines, you have to show an undecorated full-screen window that won't permit end clients to communicate with other programming introduced and running in this condition.

Making a Kiosk Using Java Swing

Utilizing Java Swing GUI it's entirely easy to make a cross-work area stand application. You should simply make javax.swing.JFrame occasion, make it full screen/amplified, non-resizable, highest, and evacuate window adornments, for example, title, window outskirts, and so on. Java Swing API gives all the vital usefulness. The accompanying example code exhibits how to make a straightforward booth application utilizing Java Swing:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        JFramess framess = new JFramess();

        framess.setUndecorated(true);

        framess.setAlwaysOnTop(true);

        framess.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);

        framess.setExtendedState(Framess.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);

        framess.setVisible(true);

    }

}

Showing Web Content in a Kiosk

The stand application constructed utilizing the code above presentations nothing. Keeping in mind the end goal to furnish our application with the capacity to show web content, we can utilize a standard Java Swing part (javax.swing.JEditorPane) that permits showing HTML content, yet it has a great deal of limitations and doesn't generally accurately show web content in view of HTML5, CSS3, or JavaScript. Rather, we can utilize JxBrowser library. JxBrowser enables Java designers to insert a Chromium-based Swing/JavaFX part into a Java application to show pages worked with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Flash, Silverlight, and so on.

How about we adjust the code above and acquire the usefulness that permits showing web content. We will include two catches: Google and BBC News. At the point when a client presses the Google catch, we will have the application demonstrate the Google seek site page. At the point when the client presses the BBC News catch, the application will demonstrate the BBC News landing page where a client can read the most recent news.

        final BrowserWindow browserWindow = new BrowserWindow();

        // Create Google and BBC News buttons

        JButton Google_Button = new JButton("Google");

        Google_Button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

            @Override

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
