Intern Assignment (36 hrs) - Food Delivery Driver Simulation
A comprehensive food delivery driver application built with Flutter that simulates the complete delivery workflow from order assignment to completion. This project demonstrates real-world mobile development skills including GPS integration, geofencing, navigation, and state management.
- Mock Login System: Simple email/password authentication
- Order Management: View assigned order details with restaurant and customer information
- Real-time Location Tracking: GPS location updates every 10 seconds
- Geofencing: Smart proximity detection (50m radius) for pickup and delivery
- Navigation Integration: Direct Google Maps navigation to destinations
- Order Flow State Machine: Complete delivery workflow management
- Professional UI: Clean, intuitive interface with consistent design
- Flutter SDK (3.8.1 or higher)
- Android Studio / VS Code with Flutter extensions
- Physical device or emulator for location testing
Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>cd flutter_driver_app
Install dependencies
flutter pub get
Run the application
flutter run
Location permissions are automatically requested when needed. For best results, test on a physical device.
Location permissions are handled automatically. Physical device recommended for accurate GPS testing.
The app uses mock authentication - you can enter any email and password to log in. Examples:
- Email:
driver@example.com - Password:
password123
Note: Any text input will work as this is a demonstration app with no backend validation.
- GPS Availability: Device has GPS capability and location permissions are granted
- Network Connectivity: Internet access available for Google Maps integration
- Testing Environment: Physical device preferred over simulator for accurate location testing
- Platform Support: Focused on Android/iOS mobile platforms (Flutter default)
- Single Order: Driver handles one order at a time (typical for learning/demo purposes)
- Mock Data: All order data is hardcoded for demonstration (no real restaurant/customer data)
- Linear Flow: Order states progress sequentially (no going backward in process)
- Geofence Accuracy: 50-meter radius is sufficient for real-world pickup/delivery validation
- Session Management: No persistent login state (resets on app restart)
- Login: Enter any email and password on the login screen
- View Order: See assigned order details with restaurant and customer information
- Start Journey: Follow the order flow buttons:
Start Trip→Arrived at Restaurant→Picked Up→Arrived at Customer→Complete Delivery
- Navigation: Tap the navigation icons next to locations to open Google Maps
- Geofencing: Move within 50 meters of locations to enable pickup/delivery buttons
- Track Progress: Monitor your real-time location and distance to destinations
Assigned → Trip Started → At Restaurant → Picked Up → At Customer → Delivered
- Geofence Protection: "Arrived at Restaurant" and "Arrived at Customer" buttons only activate when within 50m
- Real-time Distance: Live distance calculation and display
- Smart UI: Buttons automatically enable/disable based on proximity

- Models: Data structures for orders and locations
- Screens: UI components for each app screen
- Services: Business logic for location, notifications, and order management
- Utils: Enums and constants for app-wide usage
This project uses only the allowed packages as specified in the assignment:
- geolocator
^10.1.0: GPS location services, distance calculations, and geofencing - url_launcher
^6.2.1: Google Maps navigation integration and external URL handling - http
^1.1.2: (Optional) HTTP client for future API integration - flutter: Core framework with null safety enabled
- geolocator: Essential for real-time location tracking and 50m geofence validation
- url_launcher: Required for seamless Google Maps navigation integration
- http: Included for potential future backend connectivity (currently unused)
- Update Frequency: Every 10 seconds
- Accuracy: High precision GPS
- Permissions: Automatic request handling
- Error Handling: Comprehensive exception management
- Radius: 50 meters for both restaurant and customer locations
- Calculation: Haversine distance formula via geolocator
- Real-time: Continuous distance monitoring
- Debug Logging: Verbose console output for verification
- Pattern: StatefulWidget with enum-based state machine
- Flow Control: Linear progression through delivery stages
- UI Updates: Reactive interface based on location and state
- Color Scheme: Consistent teal theme throughout
- Layout: Card-based design for clear information hierarchy
- Typography: Clear, readable fonts with appropriate sizing
- Interactions: Intuitive button states (enabled/disabled)
- Separation of Concerns: Clear division between UI, business logic, and data
- Service Pattern: Dedicated LocationService for GPS operations
- Model-View: Clean data models with UI presentation separation
- Error Handling: Graceful degradation and user feedback
- Login Flow: Verify navigation from login to main screen
- Location Permissions: Test permission request handling
- Geofencing: Verify 50m radius detection accuracy
- Navigation: Test Google Maps integration
- State Transitions: Confirm proper order flow progression
- Physical Device: Recommended for accurate GPS testing
- Location Simulation: Use emulator location features for development
The app includes realistic demo data for testing:
- Order ID: ORD-12345
- Restaurant: Gourmet Burger Kitchen
- Address: 123 Main St, San Jose, CA
- Coordinates: 37.190955, -121.749845 (San Jose area)
- Customer: Jane Doe
- Address: 456 Oak Ave, San Jose, CA
- Coordinates: 37.195985, -121.743793 (San Jose area)
- Order Amount: $35.75
- Distance: ~600 meters between locations (perfect for geofence testing)
Note: These coordinates are real locations in San Jose, CA for accurate GPS testing
