    Travel Sample Mobile App

    • Clone the "master" branch of the Travel Sample app from GitHub. We are doing a shallow pull with depth as 1 to speed the cloning process.

      git clone -b master --depth 1 https://github.com/couchbaselabs/mobile-travel-sample.git

    • Open the project using Android Studio. The build.gradle is located in /path/to/mobile-travel-sample/android/TravelSample/ folder/directory.

    Configure App to connect to Backend

    You will have to update the URLs specified in the app to connect to the backend If you haven’t done so already, complete the steps outlined in the "Backend Installation" to install your Couchbase Server, Sync Gateway and Python web backend app.

    Updating the web backend URL

    Open the file DatabaseManager.java in util folder. You must update the mPythonWebServerEndpoint constant which points to the Python Web Server.

    Now, the URLs that you specify will vary depending on the installation option that you chose for deploying your backend

    • Manual

    • Docker

    • Cloud

    public static String mPythonWebServerEndpoint = "http://10.0.2.2:8080/api/";
    public static String mPythonWebServerEndpoint = "http://10.0.2.2:8080/api/";
    // Replace the hostname with the IP Address of the RightScale instance.
// The example states `54.148.83.39` but yours will be different.
public static String mPythonWebServerEndpoint = "http://54.148.83.39:8080/api/";

    Updating the Sync Gateway URL

    Next, you will update the Sync Gateway endpoint.

    Open the file DatabaseManager.java in util folder You must update the mSyncGatewayEndpoint constant.

    Now, the URLs that you specify will vary depending on the installation option that you chose for deploying your backend

    • Manual

    • Docker

    • Cloud

        public static String mSyncGatewayEndpoint = "ws://10.0.2.2:4984/travel-sample";
        public static String mSyncGatewayEndpoint = "ws://10.0.2.2:4984/travel-sample";
    // Replace the hostname with the IP Address of the RightScale instance.
// The example states `54.148.83.39` but yours will be different.
public static String mSyncGatewayEndpoint = "ws://54.148.83.39:4984/travel-sample";

    Try it Out

    • Build and run the project using Android emulator.
