From 2014-2021, Code For Greenville members built and maintained the technology which allowed thousands of locals and visitors to track the downtown Greenville trolleys in real-time from their mobile devices.
As of June 30, 2023, Code For America officially withdrew fiscal sponsorship and use of the "Code For" trademark to all national brigades, including Code For Greenville.
After July 1st, 2023, contributors can get involved with two re-branded efforts:
- For ongoing civic projects, connect with Code For The Carolina (which itself will rebrand by the end of 2023)
- For local tech APIs and OpenData projects, see the HackGreenville Labs repositories on GitHub and connect with the team in the #hg-labs channel on the HackGreenville Slack
Android app previously used for reporting the current location of the Greenville, SC trolley.
- Development
- Android Studio (IDE)
- Android API Level 19 (4.4.x KitKat)
- Running the App
- Android KitKat or newer
- Functional GPS Hardware
- Google Play Services (Google Location Services)
This app uses Google Location Services API to request high-precision location updates. When it receives a location update, the service will issue a HTTP POST to the trolley-tracker-api endpoint.
