I followed all the instructions on importing libraries into eclipse on the android guides, and have had no successes. It just fails to import.
Can some one point me in the right direction with this?
I have been a voyeur on this forum for about a month but tbis is my first post. Is there any way to name a location in Google Maps? I cannot remember all the addresses that show up in the map search. For example, I would like to rename 1400 Pennsylvania Ave. as The President. Can this be done?

My droid has 2.1 and basically stock. I'm looking to gain a little more speed out of my droid for right now. I'm not looking for some crazy root just one that speeds it up nicely. Can anyone point this newb in the right direction?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI know I mentioned this in another thread, but I got to thinking about it. My return date is coming up (extended holiday return period) and I wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem or if it was in fact my phone and I should swap it out. My phone is placing my location in places I haven't traveled to or haven't been to in a long time. It is usually placing me ~200-300 miles away from my current location. I'm in Dallas, TX. Occasionally I'll unlock my phone and the HTC weather widget will say I'm in Dustin, Houston, San Antonio, and even once in Florida. Now, I can go into Google maps and let it find my location and it is very accurate. If I give it time the weather app will correct itself, but then later when I unlock my phone it will have done it again. I've tried using the weather channel app and widget and a few others. They are all having the same problem as they pull the same GPS data. Is this a problem with my GPS chip? I've done a bunch of soft resets, pulled the battery while the phone was off and let it sit for a few, pulled the battery while the phone was on and let it sit. Nothing seems to be helping. I just turned my phone off and back on and sure enough it reports I'm in san Antonio.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the DROID.Even though it is still a bit buggy (beta and all),I love the application, but I have noticed that specific addresses can be off by a block or two.I would like to be able to tell the phone that the correct position of this address is here.

I know that I can create a My Map and enter them one by one, but I already have 460 contacts in my phone and i just want my phone to say who is around the corner that I am not thinking of. Anyone?

How EXACTLY (and i mean step by step) do i set that up on the Droid 2 so its more accurate? We are always showing at different locations even when we are side by side! My phone shows me in the correct place but his shows him where he was a few hours ago and sometimes just shows a few miles away even when he wasnt there!

This all seems straightforward enough.But I'd love to know the direction of the shake. So, if the user is shaking backwards and forwards, I want to know if the device is moving away from the user, or back towards him/her. I can't find any way of telling this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedScrolling on an Android phone makes sense because it's like you're physically sliding the page upwards. However, now that I'm used to doing that, when I get on my laptop and start to scroll with my touchpad, sometimes I find myself scrolling the wrong direction. On a touchpad you drag downwards to go down on the page, or to slide the page upwards. So it's backwards from the motion you would make on your phone.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a compass for my application BUT the difference is that, instead of having a line always pointing to north, I want this line to point for a specific point. I've been trying dozens of algorithms and nothing works. I've finally found one that points me exactlly to the point I want. But it doesn't move if I change the position of the device which is my objective. Basically, what I want is that no matter the direction I'm using my device. The line always point me to the point (picLatitude,picLongitude). I understood that for the line to move, I can't use static variables. I need to use the values offered by the onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event). This are the data I have available:
event.values[0]: azimuth, rotation around the Z axis (device in relation to north, 0º) event.values[1]: pitch, rotation around the X axis event.values[2]: roll, rotation around the Y axis mLatitude: device current latitude got from GPS (variable) mLongitude: device current longitude got from GPS (variable) picLatitude: static picture latitude established previously picLongitude: static picture longitude established previously distance: distance in Km from device to the picture calculated previously
And this the formula that works correct, and gives me the correct angle. (But it doesn't use any of the Sensor Data so the line Compass doesn't move):
double dLong = picLongitude - mLongitude; double y = (Math.sin(dLong) *
Math.cos(picLatitude)); double x = (Math.cos(mLatitude) * Math.sin(picLatitude) - Math.sin(mLatitude)*Math.cos(picLatitude)*Math.cos(dLong)); double angleDegreesWrongRange = Math.abs(Math.toDegrees(Math.atan2(y, x))); float angleDegrees = (float) ((angleDegreesWrongRange+360) % 360);
myCompass.updateDirection(angleDegrees);
I got this "bearing" formula from this website: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html. I've try adding, subtracting, the azimuth.. I've tried with the others, seriously at this point I'm just demoralized.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to implement something that I don't even know if it's possible. So I have this class which implements a SensorEventListener like this:
private SensorEventListener mySensorEventListener = new SensorEventListener(){
@Override public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
} @Override public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {
myCompass.updateDirection((float)event.values[0]); } };
And a class that handles the way the compass looks like this:

My current app flies in a sub activity when you flick-up. Problem is, it flies in horizontally from the right. I want it to fly in vertically from the bottom to match the flick direction. I'm sure this must be an xml property somewhere, but I can't find it. Does someone have a pointer as to how to set this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to show the direction on the screen that phone is facing.
For example:
0

South --- North
In the above diagram the phone would display "North". Since the user (the stick with 0 for his head) is holding out the phone (the [] in the diagram) pointing north.
I found this example. I understand what it's doing except it seems to calculate yaw, pitch, roll, and inclination. What are those and how would I use them to simply find which way the phone is pointing?
Also this android documentation mentions X, Y, and Z axises but I don't see anywhere that says how those axises correspond to the phone? Is Z going from the bottom of the phone to the top?
