Challenges
1. Checking Driver Arrival, Pickup & Delivery Details:
When the customer requests a ride, if a driver is not tracked inside a 200m radius of the customer's location and requests to send a notification for pickup, arrival, and drop off, the app should not allow drivers to send such notifications to customers. Disabling pickup, arrive, and drop off options by tracking driver's location was one of the significant complexities faced during the development period. Our developers overcome this scenario by implementing custom validation that enables notification option for arrival, pick up and drops off when the driver is located under the radius of 200m.
2. Menu Integration:
Today, many ready-made menu APIs are available in the market that can give your app a "wow" effect. The integration of the menu is not something that cannot be accomplished by the developers. But, there are scenarios where a menu needs to be customized. In Hauler, the client wanted a customized menu where the selected option from the menu list must appear in the zoom-out style with the app background, and the current screen should be minimized to the left. The development of such a customized menu with multiple complexities was indeed a big challenge. Our developers handled this scenario using Android Reside Menu and customized it as per the client's requirement.
