Enatega Android App: Restaurant Filter Bug
Bug Report: Filters Not Applying on Restaurant Page
Hey guys! We've got a bug report here about the Enatega Customer Application on Android, specifically, the filters on the restaurant page aren't working as expected. Let's dive into the details so we can get this sorted out.
Describe the Bug
So, the main issue is that the filters aren't being applied correctly on the Restaurant Page in the Android app. Even when you select specific filter options, the restaurant results don't update to reflect your choices. It's like the app is ignoring your preferences, which can be super frustrating when you're trying to narrow down your options. This is a critical issue because restaurant filters are a key feature for users to find exactly what they're looking for, whether it's a specific cuisine, price range, or rating. When filters don't work, it degrades the user experience and makes it harder for customers to discover restaurants that meet their needs. Imagine searching for the perfect restaurant based on your criteria, only to be shown a list that doesn't match at all! That's the problem we're tackling here. The inability to filter restaurants effectively can lead to user dissatisfaction and potentially cause users to abandon the app in search of a more user-friendly alternative. Therefore, resolving this bug is crucial to ensure users have a smooth and efficient experience when using the Enatega Customer Application. We need to make sure those filters are doing their job!
Steps to Reproduce
Here’s how to reproduce the bug, step-by-step:
- Go to the 'Enatega Customer Application' on your Android device.
- Tap the 'Restaurants' menu button – you know, the one that should take you to all the delicious options.
- Look at the top right corner, and you'll see a 'Filters' button. Give it a tap!
- You'll see all the available filters pop up. Now, here’s where the trouble starts. Select any filter you like (cuisine, rating, price, you name it), and try to apply it.
- See the error: the filter doesn't work as it should, and the restaurant list doesn't change accordingly. It’s like the app is just shrugging off your choices. This makes it difficult for users to find specific types of restaurants or those that meet their dietary or pricing needs. The filter functionality is essential for a good user experience, and when it fails, users are forced to scroll through an unfiltered list, which is time-consuming and frustrating. The restaurant search process becomes inefficient, potentially leading users to abandon the app in favor of alternatives that offer better filtering options. Therefore, fixing this bug is crucial to ensure that users can easily navigate the restaurant listings and find exactly what they're looking for. A broken filter essentially renders a significant portion of the app's functionality useless, which can negatively impact user engagement and satisfaction.
Expected Behavior
Okay, so here’s what should be happening:
The selected filters (think Cuisine, Rating, Price Range, the whole shebang) should dynamically modify the restaurant list. We're talking real-time updates, guys! Only the restaurants that actually match the criteria you’ve chosen should be displayed. It's all about getting the results you want, right away. Once you hit that apply button, the restaurant list should immediately update. No manual refresh needed, no extra steps. Just instant results! It should be a seamless experience that makes finding the perfect restaurant a breeze. Plus, these filters should have some staying power. They should remain applied until you manually clear them. So, if you navigate away to another page and then come back, your filter settings should still be in place. It's all about consistency and making your life easier. This expected behavior is crucial for a good user experience. The purpose of filters is to narrow down a large selection to a manageable and relevant subset. When filters work correctly, users can quickly find restaurants that meet their specific criteria, such as cuisine type, price range, or dietary restrictions. The dynamic updating ensures that users see immediate results, which enhances the responsiveness and usability of the app. The persistence of filters across different pages and sessions is also essential, as it prevents users from having to reapply the same filters repeatedly. This combination of features creates a smooth and efficient way for users to explore the available restaurants.
Evidence

(The provided video clearly demonstrates the filter functionality not working as expected.)
Smartphone Details
- Device: [e.g. Infinix Hot 50]
- OS: [e.g. Android]
- Browser: [e.g. Application]
- Version: [e.g. 14]
We need to thoroughly investigate why these restaurant filters are not functioning correctly. The video evidence should be a great starting point. Understanding the device, OS, and version details helps to narrow down any device-specific issues. It's possible that there's a compatibility problem with certain Android versions or device models, or that there's a bug in the application's code that's causing the filters to fail. Debugging will involve analyzing the app's code to identify the source of the error, potentially using logs and debugging tools to trace the issue. We need to ensure that the filtering logic is correctly implemented and that the app is handling filter selections and updates as intended. Testing on a variety of devices and Android versions will be crucial to confirm that the fix is effective and doesn't introduce any new issues. The goal is to provide a seamless and reliable filtering experience for all users, regardless of their device or OS version. This filter functionality is a core feature of the app, and resolving this bug will significantly improve user satisfaction and the overall usability of the Enatega Customer Application.
This information should give the development team a solid starting point for tackling this bug. Let's get those filters working!
