How to get GEO Coordinates ( latitude & longitude ) without using GPS in android ?
Any Suggestion ?
In my application I have a list of +400 GPS coordinates which I retrieve from addresses. The application should give me the top X nearest coordinates based on my current location.
This application is possible (I think) with the distanceBetween function. But (I think) the application is really inefficient when i iterate through the list of 400 coordinates and check the distance within a certain time interval. Another option is (I think) the proximityAlert function? All coordinates are loaded in this function and when my current location comes in the radius of a coordinate an alert is given. But the downside of this solution (I think) is the high memory usage which implies a short battery life of the Android phone?
I've been trying to write a little application that recognizes custom events in Android: you hold your finger over a TextView for a certain length of time, and it changes color.I'm using the MotionEvent coordinates and checking if they are within the bounds of a particular TextView, which is within a table.I am just attaching the onTouch listener to the table within the activity.But I get weird errors: the coordinates seem to be off by one view (i.e. if I touch the view below the view above reacts); or sometimes one will react, and the other will not. Any idea what might be going on?

I know it certainly has to be able to determine X and Y, well longitude, latitude that is, but what about the Z coordinates? Can it determine your height, and can I obtain height relative to ground?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need an app which get GPS coordinates of the device(if GPS is disabled - get last known location coordinates) and also get the language of the device(Locale).
When I start the app, it will appear a button with link to website. Clicking that button will open the default browser and go to website(set by me). That website will use the GPS coordinates(Long/Lat) and language of the device to show information on that language and somethings near this coordinates.
I'm looking for an app that can take the screenshot from the phone camera and stamp on it the gps coordinates and compass bearing with time and date like the picture that I've attached.

However, sometimes people forget their password and want a reset. I think the best is to send an email to the user of the phone, instead of prompting the email address at the time the forget their password. Because who knows, it could be one of their friends that picks up the phone and likes to reset the password as a prank.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to save some values in the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) method of my activty by following the example here: How do I save an Android application's state?
But it doesnt seem to load it from the Oncreate(). the bundle object is always null but whenever i call another activity, it does indeed go into the onSaveInstanceState method to save my values.
Now i read that question i just posted and someone noted how they could not get it to work in an emulator? unfortunately that is all im working on. On an emulator and cant test the app on the device as i have no device available to me right now And the web services i am interacting with are in a local VM on my work machine that cannot be accesses remotely at the moment.
My question is, is it true that saved bundles dont work on emulators? I also noticed how when i do dismiss or bring up a new activity , the activity calles onPause and then onStop. when i bring back the same activty, it goes straight to onCreate?
now according to the docs here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#actlife That is correct in terms of what the lifecycle diagram shows but if you read below that diagram on the onStop() section it says the next step it goes into is either onRestart() or onDestroy()? no mention of onCreate? Type on the docs?
Anyways here is my onSaveInstanceState() and onCreate() both in the same activity: code...

What I want to do is to get the gps positions, say 3, and store them in sql db (which I'm already doing) and then display them on the map. I already created canvas, added to overlay but those points disappear when I'm changing tabs so I thought if there is a way to somehow store those coords with google map so I can retrieve them and display them nicely whenever I'm clicking the "map tab"? Please can anyone help?

I'd like to be able to access the GPS coordinates in Javascript inside a browser window.
Now I could simply send the GPS coords to the server and read from within the browser window by reading off the server, but I was wondering if there was any way to send the GPS coordinates from the device straight into the browser window without having to go through a remote server?

I'm trying to get the absolute screen pixel coordinates of the top left corner of a view. However, all methods I can find such as getLeft() and getRight() don't work as they all seem to be relative to the parent of the view, thus giving me 0. What is the proper way to do this?
If it helps, this is for a 'put the picture back in order' game. I want the user to be able to draw a box to select multiple pieces. My assumption is that the easiest way to do that is to getRawX() and getRawY() from the MotionEvent and then compare those values against the top left corner of the layout holding the pieces. Knowing the size of the pieces, I can then determine how many pieces have been selected. I realise I can use getX() and getY() on the MotionEvent, but as that returns a relative position that makes determining which pieces were selected more difficult. (Not impossible, I know, but it seems unnecessarily complicated).
