Demo build is available from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tdispatch.passenger

Build requirements

• At least basic knowledge on Android development
• Eclipse
• Android SDK + ADT
• Google Play Services Lib

To make the app work you need to collect couple of keys and tokens for various API application is using. Mandatory are T Dispatch APIs (Fleet API and Passenger API) and Google Maps v2 Android API.

• Install most recent Android SDK

• Install Google Play Services SDK: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html

• Import T Dispatch Passenger application sources as your Eclipse project

• Reference Google Play Services: http://developer.android.com/tools/projects/projects-eclipse.html#ReferencingLibraryProject

• Rename package name (otherwise you will not be able to release the app to the Google App store), by selecting Rename Application Package in Android Tools context menu (press right mouse button over project root node). Choose your name wisely - you will no able to change it once app is released. The common pattern is to use domain name here. For example if the cab office uses cabofficename.com domain, then your pakcage name should be com.cabofficename.passenger.

• Getting T Dispatch Fleet API key:

  • Log in to your T Dispatch cab office account (you need to have office manager rights)
  • Go to Preferences view, then Settings there and then Fleet API
  • Copy your "API key" from there and store in res/values/td_caboffice.xml as FleetApiKey
  • Contact support (@) tdispatch.com to get your ClientId and ClientSecret tokens for your app and put in res/values/td_caboffice.xml once you get it

• To make Google Maps works you need to know SHA1 fingerprints of your certificates you will be signing your app with. We recommend to assign both debug and production certificate to the same API key to simplify your work and release cycle. To get SHA1 print of your certificate you can use keytool that bundled comes with Java or use any keystore management tool (standalone or Eclipse plugin) of your choice. The following examples use keytool). In you command line type:

  keytool -list -keystore YOUR-KEYSTORE-FILE

  After the password prompt you will be listed with all the certificates you got in the keystore. Choose the one that serves as your production certificate for the project and copy his SHA1 hash. If you know the alias of the certificate you can narrow the list to just that one certificate:

  keytool -list -keystore YOUR-KEYSTORE-FILE -alias CERTIFICATE-ALIAS

  Now we need to do the same with debug certificate. Location of debug keystore depends on the platform but its location can be easily checked by looking in Eclipse Preferences -> Android -> Build -> Default debug keystore. Once you got it located, you list the certificate the same way (debug keystore password is android):

  keytool -list -keystore YOUR-DEBUG-KEYSTORE-FILE -alias androiddebugkey

  Now we need to enable Google Maps API for our app. Go to Google Api Console: https://code.google.com/apis/console/ then switch to Services pane, look for Google Maps Android API v2 and enable it. Now go to API Access pane and create Google Maps Android API v2 key for your app, by clicking Create new Android key.... Now you need to list what apps shall be allowed to use this particular API key. It's done by declaring entries in form SHA1 hash;package (and you can enter as many entries as you want). So assuming your package id is com.cabofficename.passenger, your debug certificate hash is DE:BB:GG:A1:12:17:F2:56:36:AD:0A:66:2B:26:A0:EE:98:94:B4:02 and your production certificate hash is AA:BB:CC:DD:36:AD:0A:98:94:B4:02:66:2B:12:17:F2:56:26:A0:EE you should enter (order is irrelevant):

  
    DE:BB:GG:A1:12:17:F2:56:36:AD:0A:66:2B:26:A0:EE:98:94:B4:02;com.cabofficename.passenger
    AA:BB:CC:DD:36:AD:0A:98:94:B4:02:66:2B:12:17:F2:56:26:A0:EE;com.cabofficename.passenger
  
  

  And you get your API key as the result (which looks like AIzaTxknt93Lxj3J8ao5yhvcYjxxTjpa2bh742) and you put it in res/values/td_caboffice.xml file as caboffice_maps_api_key entry.

• Tweak app settings by editing res/values/td_caboffice.xml file:

  • Ensure you set own name for the app (the one that will show under the app icon on the device). Common pattern is to use cab office name.
  • Change application icon (ic_launcher asset in drawable-* folders).
  • Set proper default fallback location so it points to geographically correct location.
  • Disable demo warning by setting caboffice_settings_hide_demo_warning to false
  • Plant cab office logo image (caboffice_logo asset in drawable-* folders). We suggest you keep it no bigger than 300dp x 300dp (density independent pixels, NOT raw pixels) bounds.
