Note: If you see error "Failure: Attempt to invoke method 'int org.json.JSONObject.getInt(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference", the Android app is unable to communicate with the backend database.

Solution: It may be possible that our Heroku server is down, which shuts off after a certain period of inactivity. If this happens, run this command in the terminal curl -X GET https://rideshare08.herokuapp.com/api/trip/trips/1 to "wake" the server up.

  • a cost associated with each stop (integer)
  • end date (datepicker selection)
  • end time (timerpicker selection)

My Trips

Now that you have created at least one trip, you can view them now. Go to the main screen menu and click "My Trips" to get to this page:

The left column is the trip ID, while the right column contains the starting location and stops. You can even click on a trip to...
