Ride-Sharing Uber Lyft Android App
Learn to build a ride-sharing Android Taxi Clone App like Uber, Lyft - Open-Source Project
About me
Hi, I am Amit Shekhar, I have mentored many developers, and their efforts landed them high-paying tech jobs, helped many tech companies in solving their unique problems, and created many open-source libraries being used by top companies. I am passionate about sharing knowledge through open-source, blogs, and videos.
You can connect with me on:
My Personal Blog - amitshekhar.me - High-quality content to learn Android concepts.
We will build and learn the following for the App like Uber and Lyft:
- Create Rider Android Clone App
- Fetch and show nearby cabs on Google Map
- Set Pickup and drop location
- Book a cab
- Fetch and show driver current location
- Show pickup and trip path on Map with Animation
- Cab Arrival for a pickup like Uber
- On-going trip UI
- Trip End
- Animation like Uber App for Moving Car
- Just to make it simple. This project uses the basic MVP Architecture for building the Uber and Lyft clone
- We have simulated the WebSocket API for you
We have simulated the backend environment for you to get the real-work like experience.

Building the project
- Every feature is done in a different branch so that it will be easy to follow.
- Clone the project, the
masterbranch has the latest code. - To learn and implement from the beginning, switch the branch to
base-project - This App uses the Google API Key for Maps, Directions, and Places. Get the API key from the Google Cloud Developer console after enabling the Maps, Directions and Places features for your project. Refer this link. And put that key in the local.properties file in your project: Your local.properties will like below:
sdk.dir=PATH_TO_ANDROID_SDK_ON_YOUR_LOCAL_MACHINE
apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
- Start implementing features:
- Start with the
base-projectbranch - Setup project with basic MVP Architecture.
- Implement Permission for fetching current location.
- Implement feature - nearby cabs.
- Use WebSocket present in
simulatormodule to fetch the nearby cabs. - Match your solution with
nearby-cabsbranch. - Implement feature - pickup and drop location.
- Match your solution with
pickup-drop-locationbranch. - Implement feature - book a cab.
- Implement feature - Show pickup path on the map with Animation.
- Implement feature - Show the current driver location during pickup.
- Implement feature - Cab is arriving and arrived.
- Implement feature - Car Animation like Uber.
- Implement feature - Show trip path on the map with Animation.
- Implement feature - Trip Starts.
- Implement feature - Show the current driver location during the trip.
- Implement feature - Trip on-going.
- Implement feature - Trip Ends.
- Implement feature - Implement Take Next Ride.
- Match your solution with
book-complete-tripbranch.
- Start with the
WebSocket API Reference for this project
A WebSocket is a persistent connection between a client and server. WebSockets provide a bidirectional, full-duplex communications channel that operates over HTTP through a single TCP/IP socket connection. At its core, the WebSocket protocol facilitates message passing between a client and server. In our case, we have simulated it for you.
-
In WebSocket, we have three methods:
connect(): To connect with the serversendMessage(data: String): To send the data to the serverdisconnect(): To disconnect from the server
-
In WebSocketListener, we have four callbacks:
onConnect(): Called when it is connected with the serveronMessage(data: String): Called when an event comes from the serverfun onDisconnect(): Called when the client is disconnected from the serverfun onError(error: String): Called when the error occurred on the server
-
Client sending event to server using
webSocket.sendMessage(data):- Request for nearby cabs from server
{ "type": "nearByCabs", "lat": 28.438147, "lng": 77.0994446 }- Request a cab from server
{ "type": "requestCab", "pickUpLat": 28.4369353, "pickUpLng": 77.1125599, "dropLat": -25.274398, "dropLng": 133.775136 } -
The Server sending success event to the client received in
onMessage(data: String):- NearBy cabs
{ "type": "nearByCabs", "locations": [ { "lat": 28.439147000000002, "lng": 77.0944446 }, { "lat": 28.433147, "lng": 77.0952446 }, { "lat": 28.440547000000002, "lng": 77.1026446 } ] }- Cab Booked
{ "type": "cabBooked" }- PickUp Path
{ "type": "pickUpPath", "path": [ { "lat": 28.43578, "lng": 77.10198000000001 }, { "lat": 28.43614, "lng": 77.10164 }, { "lat": 28.436400000000003, "lng": 77.10149000000001 } ] }- Cab Current Location during pickup or trip
{ "type": "location", "lat": 28.43578, "lng": 77.10198000000001 }- Cab is Arriving
{ "type": "cabIsArriving" }- Cab Arrived
{ "type": "cabArrived" }- Trip Start
{ "type": "tripStart" }- Trip Path
{ "type": "tripPath", "path": [ { "lat": 28.438370000000003, "lng": 77.09944 }, { "lat": 28.438450000000003, "lng": 77.1006 }, { "lat": 28.438480000000002, "lng": 77.10095000000001 } ] }- Trip End
{ "type": "tripEnd" } -
The server sending the error event to the client received in
onError(error: String):- Direction API Failed
{ "type": "directionApiFailed", "error": "Unable to resolve host \"maps.googleapis.com\": No address associated with hostname" }- Routes Not Available
{ "type": "routesNotAvailable" }
