Java Diary of an Uber Driver
summary
Overview of using the Uber Rides Java and Android SDKs with synchronous and asynchronous calls via Retrofit 2, plus concrete code examples on GitHub that wire OAuth/OIDC into Jakarta Security and Jetty. The demo shows distance units come back in miles so the build adds JSR 385 unit conversions and JSR 354 JavaMoney for currency; it requests, estimates, books and cancels rides in the sandbox requires vendor vetting and often fails until scopes are granted, but sandbox-only ride lifecycle methods do work.
