How To Build A Rideshare App Like Uber | Modern Development Android Tutorial

Welcome to my guide on building a Ridesharing application! Between jobs, to keep my skills sharp, I built a Ride sharing application with driver-passenger chat, google maps, autcomplete destination searching, and directions.

This tutorial simply wouldn't exist without Stream's support (not to mention most of the BE of this app is powered by Stream). If you or your team want to build cross-platform chat experiences, I strongly suggest you try out Stream's Chat SDK. Sign up is easy with a free, 30 day trial:

This is gold... nope this is platinum man. Thank you.

[Zhuinden]

thank you for feature Simple-Stack! we've been using it for years, and funnily enough, whenever we replaced navigators in projects with Simple-Stack, using Simple-Stack fixed long-lasting bugs 😄

[dreW-]

learned alot, very informative, liked the way you explain those concepts

[kidzhobby]

If you don't show the app preview after implementing it then writg the code doesn't make sense.
Just open the completed project and explain !

[aron]

what program are you using to write the code? what alternatives are there for uber taxi type app? thanks

[markhamillsalahuddin]

Im gladly to reach one of your project, Im graduating student and Im about to make my Capstone project. I prefer to propose project which is Ride Hailing/share ride application to be exact. How can you help me? Or there is a way to reach you personally. Thank you for your respond.

XML why not jetpack compose which is already the future, XML will be retired. Love the content but find it frustrating this is built with old UI tech.

[massiveaction]

Do you have contact info. I have a request. A profitable one.

[xguxuqb]

After this project is completed, will it be divided into a client and a driver and can it be installed on a mobile phone for testing?
