Primary LanguageJava

Cab/Taxi Android App

This is a cab/taxi app for android users. It is single app for both Customer and Driver. By providing two general options as Customer or Driver one can decide the type. This app provides a login and registration support where a user can first decide type then proceed. So multiple users at once can be accommodated. Mapbox SDK is used for Map. And for Realtime-Location Services, Firebase is used. The app was made in the thought that it can be edited easily and understood easily, and latest Android Pie is used for testing and is tested on previous versions also.
