Introduction

Hi! Here's a test that's meant to highlight the skills that we think are important here @Heetch. It's supposed to be quick and should not take you more than 5 hours to achieve.

We reevaluate it regularly, so if you have some feedback to share about it, we'd be more than happy to read it!

Technical Test Instructions

As you'll see, the app right now doesn't do much. But we have big ambitions about it: display a nice, ordered, up-to-date list of drivers (ok maybe not that big).

The specs are quite simple:

  • You see that FAB button ? It can be turned to play or pause by a simple tap
  • When visible and in "play" position, the FAB should automatically poll a list of drivers every 5 seconds
  • For every update, the visible list of drivers should be refreshed, and reordered by distance from your current location

Too easy? Probably. But we voluntarily made an ugly app with zero organization and it will be your job to make it better.

No need to over-engineer it, just please make sure your app is stable, maintainable, well-structured and that it showcases your understanding of reactive programming principles and your ConstraintLayout skills 😉

Oh, also, as we're greedy, we'd also like to provide an alternate, premium version of the same app. It doesn't really have to be different, but be somehow "golden". I'm sure you'll figure something out.

What we have done for you

We know your time is precious so the current code already provides some of the most boring parts:

  • Runtime permissions
  • The location module to retrieve you last known location
  • Distance computation
  • FAB button and his assets
  • The network layer to call our web service
  • A loader image module

Feel free to use/edit/drop them as you'll see fit.

Bonuses

If you want to make some extra points you can

  • Find a cool name and a nice icon for your app
  • Improve the general design

Those are not as important as the above requirements, so if you're running out of time, you should make sure to validate all the previous points before.

How to submit your work
