Businfo is a free Android application whose goal is to provide an easy way to get bus schedules of french bus networks.
- Easy to use
- Works anytime, anywhere: all schedules are available instantly with no Internet connection required (off-line mode)
- Bookmark favorite bus stations
- Share schedules
- Search information by voice using the voice recognition feature of Android devices (if supported).
- Available in French, English and Spanish
Businfo is available on the Google Play Store and Aptoide market place.
Currently supported bus networks are:
- Hérault Transport (34, France)
- Thau Agglo (34, France)
The easiest way to compile the android application is to use the provided Docker image gotsunami/businfo-android:
$ docker pull gotsunami/businfo-android
$ mkdir /tmp/apk
$ docker run --rm -ti -v /tmp/apk:/home/businfo/businfo-android/bin businfo debug
That's it! You'll get the /tmp/apk/Businfo-debug.apk ready to be uploaded to your emulator/device.
If you can't use Docker or prefer a source installation, please checkout those repositories first:
$ git clone https://github.com/gotsunami/businfo-sample-lines.git
$ git clone https://github.com/gotsunami/businfo-tools.git
The businfo-sample-lines repository has some lines definitions (not real schedules) so that sample
data can be used while building the Android application. The businfo-tools repository holds tools dealing
with (cleaning, compiling) the bus schedules defined in businfo-sample-lines, making chunks of data
that will be merged with the Android app's ressources.
The following software is required to build the line schedules and the Android application:
- The Android SDK
- Go
- Python 2.7
- git
- sqlite3
- openjdk-7-jdk (also works with Java 1.6)
- ant
- make
- ia32 libs if you're running a 64-bit system
Create a local.properties file at the root of the project with the following entries:
sdk.dir=/path/to/android/sdk
tools.dir=/path/to/businfo-tools
Create a gmaps.properties file at the root of project with:
gmaps.key.debug=your_gmaps_debug_key
gmaps.key.release=your_gmaps_release_key
Build the project with ant debug install.
