 Feedback Collection System Using Java

1. Abstract:
In the era of digital transformation, collecting and
managing user feedback is essential for continuous
improvement and user satisfaction. This project
demonstrates a console-based Java Feedback
Collection System, where users can submit their
feedback, and an admin can review all submitted
feedbacks.
It showcases the use of Java file handling, user input,
simple authentication, and time stamping, making it a
great mini-project for Java beginners. The system is
intuitive and emphasizes data organization, security
(basic authentication), and persistent storage via text
files.

2. Requirements:
Hardware Requirements:
 Any device that supports Java (PC/Laptop).
Software Requirements:
1. Java Development Kit (JDK)
2. Java IDE or Command Line (e.g., IntelliJ, VS Code, or
terminal)
3. A text editor (Notepad/Notepad++) to view the
feedback.txt file.

4.Code:
import java.io.*;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Scanner;
8
public class FeedbackSystem {
private static final String FILE_NAME =
"feedback.txt";
private static final String ADMIN_PASSWORD =
"admin123";

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

while (true) {
System.out.println("\nFeedback Collection
System");
System.out.println("1. Submit Feedback");
System.out.println("2. View Feedback
(Admin)");
System.out.println("3. Exit");
System.out.print("Choose an option: ");
int choice = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.nextLine(); // Consume newline

switch (choice) {
case 1:
submitFeedback(scanner);
break;
case 2:
if (authenticateAdmin(scanner)) {
9
 viewFeedback();
} else {
System.out.println("Authentication
failed! Access denied.");
}
break;
case 3:
System.out.println("Exiting... Thank
you!");
scanner.close();
return;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid option! Try
again.");
}
}
}

private static void submitFeedback(Scanner

scanner) {
try (FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(FILE_NAME,
true)) {
System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
String name = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter your feedback: ");
String feedback = scanner.nextLine();

10
 String timestamp = new
SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss").format(new Date());
writer.write("Timestamp: " + timestamp + "\
nName: " + name + "\nFeedback: " + feedback + "\
n----------------\n");
System.out.println("Thank you for your
feedback!");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error saving feedback: " +
e.getMessage());
}
}

private static void viewFeedback() {

File file = new File(FILE_NAME);
if (!file.exists()) {
System.out.println("No feedback available
yet.");
return;
}

try (BufferedReader reader = new

BufferedReader(new FileReader(FILE_NAME))) {
String line;
System.out.println("\n--- Feedback Records
---");
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
11
 } catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error reading feedback: " +
e.getMessage());
}
}

private static boolean authenticateAdmin(Scanner

scanner) {
System.out.print("Enter admin password: ");
String password = scanner.nextLine();
return ADMIN_PASSWORD.equals(password);
}
}

4. Design and Implementation:

The system is built using core Java principles and file
handling. Here's how it functions:
Modules:
 Submit Feedback: Accepts user name and feedback,
saves to a text file with a timestamp.
 View Feedback (Admin): Only accessible through a
password, reads and displays feedback from the file.
 Exit: Exits the application.
Component Breakdown:
 Scanner: To take input from the user.
 FileWriter: Appends feedback to feedback.txt.
 BufferedReader: Reads and displays stored feedback.
 SimpleDateFormat: Formats timestamp for feedback
entries.

 6. Conclusion:
The Feedback Collection System is a simple yet
practical Java application that collects and stores user
feedback securely. This project demonstrates:
 File operations
 Time-stamping
 Basic admin authentication
 User-friendly CLI interface
It is a great starting point for learners to understand
file-based data management in Java.

7. Future Enhancements:
1. GUI version using JavaFX or Swing.
2. Email notification to admin on new feedback.
3. Web-based integration using JSP/Servlets.
4. Feedback rating (1–5 scale) and analytics.
5. Encryption of admin password and feedback file.
