How to create a taxi booking android app?

How to create a taxi booking android app..I have to create an app for a middle east client..But how to deal with the complex stuff of booking cab and notifying the cab drivers about it..Can anyone provide me with a good tutorial or case study on how to start this type of project?

Think of this taxi app as a 'Machine', before you have the finished product you need to learn a lot of the 'cogs' that build that machine first.

Break down whats involved first:

  • You need the live location of the user and the taxi

  • you need to store information (such as customer accounts and cab driver accounts) on a server and have them communicate with the app

There are other 'cogs' involved but that should be a good start.

Apps like Hailo and Uber have an app for the driver, and an app for the customer. I dont believe its the one app.

Good luck with this project.
