Install DriveView on an Android Device
Download DriveView, verify your mobile number, and grant the permissions DriveView needs to track loads on your Android device.
Before you begin
You need:
- An Android device that can send and receive SMS messages.
- A mobile phone number that matches the number a load is assigned to. A placeholder number, landline, or carrier contact number does not work for tracking.
Download DriveView
After a load is assigned to your phone number, you receive a text message with a link to download DriveView.
- To download from the text message, tap the link in the SMS.
- To download from the store instead, search for DriveView in Google Play and install the app published by project44.
Get started
- Open DriveView.
- On the welcome screen, tap the language selector near the top of the screen if you want to change the app language.
- Tap Get Started. By tapping Get Started, you agree to the project44 Terms of Service.
The Verify Your Mobile Number screen opens.
Verify your mobile number
- On the Verify Your Mobile Number screen, tap the country selector to the left of the phone number field.
- Search for your country by name and select it from the list. DriveView updates the dialing code to match your selection.
- Enter your mobile phone number in the number field.
- Confirm that DriveView displays Phone number is valid below the field. The Request Code button becomes active.
- Tap Request Code.
DriveView sends a four-digit verification code to your number by SMS.
Tip: Select your country with the country picker instead of typing the dialing code directly into the phone number field. If a country code is entered as part of the phone number, tracking for the load can be denied.
Enter your verification code
- On the Enter Your Code screen, enter the four-digit code from the SMS message.
- DriveView displays Code is verified and continues to the next step on its own.
If you did not receive a code, tap Resend Code. If you entered the wrong number, tap Change Mobile Number to start over.
Allow notifications
DriveView uses notifications to send timely information about your loads. It does not use notifications for promotions or spam.
- On the Get Notified screen, tap Next.
- In the Android system prompt, tap Allow
Grant permissions
DriveView needs three permissions to track loads on Android: Motion, Location, and Background location. The Permissions screen lists each one with its own button. A red alert icon marks a permission that is not yet granted, and a green check icon mark one that is granted.
Grant each permission in order:
- For Motion, tap Allow. In the system prompt, tap Allow.
- For Location, tap While Using the App. In the system prompt, select While using the app.
- For Background location, tap Allow all the time. In the system prompt, select Allow all the time.
- Confirm that all three permissions show a green check icon, then tap Continue
DriveView opens to the Loads screen, where assigned loads appear.
Important: Keep Location access set to Allow all the time so DriveView can track loads accurately in the background. Without this setting, tracking may not work. Android may remind you to change the permission after a few days. Keep it enabled so project44 can continue providing tracking for your loads.
