To start sending vehicle updates to Fleet Engine and the customer backend,
create a GMTDRidesharingDriverAPI
instance that includes the providerID
, vehicleID
, driverContext
, and accessTokenProvider
.
The providerID
is the same as the Project IDof your Google Cloud
Project. For information on setting up the Google Cloud Project, see Create your Fleet Engine project
.
The following example shows how to create a GMTDRidesharingDriverAPI
instance.
Swift
import
GoogleRidesharingDriver
private
let
providerID
=
"INSERT_YOUR_PROVIDER_ID"
class
SampleViewController
:
UIViewController
{
private
let
mapView
:
GMSMapView
override
func
viewDidLoad
()
{
super
.
viewDidLoad
()
let
vehicleID
=
"INSERT_CREATED_VEHICLE_ID"
let
accessTokenProvider
=
SampleAccessTokenProvider
()
let
driverContext
=
GMTDDriverContext
(
accessTokenProvider
:
accessTokenProvider
,
providerID
:
providerID
,
vehicleID
:
vehicleID
,
navigator
:
mapView
.
navigator
)
let
ridesharingDriverAPI
=
GMTDRidesharingDriverAPI
(
driverContext
:
driverContext
)
}
}
Objective-C
#import "SampleViewController.h"
#import "SampleAccessTokenProvider.h"

;
