Field service & Taxi dispatch sample

[papyr]

Hello, in many cases the samples are not through to get self help since they don't cover features needed for field applications.

Can you please consider these two samples -

• [ ] Field service Sample
• [ ] Taxi dispatch sample

Hi @papyr can you provide more info on what these samples are? I'm happy to improve the samples if I can get more info on what you're looking for.

I think perhaps a better idea would be to convert some samples that xamarin already has? For example the pretty weather app or the xamarin CRM sample

[papyr]

Hi @Eilon @chrisevans9629 if you want to repurpose those its a quick start. However, just be aware that those samples dont have the main practical uses cases on what functional features are used.

Thats the reason I went through the pains taking process of just narrowing down some core items in the list above. The other features I was able somehow look from the other samples. Ultimately this will serve as a good example for futures developers in one place.

[Eilon]

Thanks for the suggestions, I will take a look at these.

BTW the Pretty Weather app is already a sample:

• Source code: https://github.com/xamarin/MobileBlazorBindings/tree/master/samples/MobileBlazorBindingsWeather
• Documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/mobile-blazor-bindings/walkthroughs/weather-app

Hello any update on this?

[Eilon]

Hi @papyr , the request here is for a substantial sample that we don't currently have planned. But we have several smaller samples within this repo in the samples folder. I have also written an app that is available in the Apple App Store for tracking recipes, which is available at the Rezipe repo. We are working on more samples as well.

[papyr]

Thats a bummer, can you tell me how to do the core Taxi features for routing, dispatch, scheduling and tracking or which samples have that functionality. The weather one does not have this.

[Eilon]

@papyr I'm sorry that's not something I can provide. That might be better suited for hiring a consultant who can offer such services. If you're having any specific technical problems, or if you find a bug, or have a feature suggestion, this would be a great place to post it.
