It should be application to iPhone or Android or other mobile platform, where, basically, user can access map with "places of interest" and add it's own "place of interest" (with photo and description). Kind of, community generated sightseeing map. I know it is quite simple and not a groundbreaking idea, but my google-fu is quite weak and I can't find anything like that.

Facebook rolled out a new places feature last night. Non-Iphone users are supposed to be able to use it through the touch.facebook.com site, but I am not seeing the Places tab when I navigate to that site. Is anyone else able to access this feature?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've just downloaded the latest update for GooMemo. Great news - it now will sync with Google Documents!GooMemo - Android Notes application.The developer had originally planned that this would be part of a paid-for premium version, but very kindly he has released it for free.For those of us Palm refugees who miss having memos synced between handheld and desktop I think this is the only application that does it properly. I haven't played with it very much yet, but it seems to work very well. In Google Documents all your memos are put into a spreadsheet with a different sheet for each category and each memo on its own row. This is maybe not the prettiest of options, but it makes it all very transparent, and easy to export your notes in CSV form if you want to move them elsewhere. The only slight irritation I've had is that it won't remember my Gmail password and I have to rekey it each time I want to sync.
View 2 Replies View Relatedyesterday i rooted my desire but i have no interest in installing a custom rom. all i want to install is apps2sd or apps2sd +i have read many guides but most of them conflict each other.if i was to follow these steps what would be wiped from the phone.
Using the optical trackpad select Wipe > Wipe data/factory reset
After this has completed do Wipe > Wipe cache
Again, once this has completed do Wipe > Wipe Dalvik-cache.
I understand that the sd card gets wiped and that is not a problem, i'm more worried what gets wiped from the phone memory (not worried about installed apps) also can i do the ext3/4 from the phone as i only have windows 7.
is there anyway to create folders for photos so that I can access photos of a certain type, when I open my photos I don't always want to search by date or go through all of them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have published a free app on the android market. I want to edit the description and add a couple of screen shots. While the "Upload Aplication" screen on http://market.android.com/publish lets me make these changes & saves them too, they don't show up in the description of the app when I go the android market. Do I have to unpublish & republish the app (in which case I might run into version issues)? Or else, how do I make these changes to description appear on the android market?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, so I'm writing my first Android app and am basically stuck. The app is a short 4 question quiz with two choices per question. This creates 16 possible results, which I've created descriptions for. I want the app to display the description corresponding to the user's responses on each of the questions after the 4th question is answered. Right now I am storing the values in a string, which is supposed to build upon the previous string answer, after each question. So the first answer is t1, the second answer is t2, and so on. Here is the code for the second question: My problem is that the strings won't hold the values I assign them in the previous question. I have a textview that briefly displays the values returned by the question's answer string (t2 for Question2) and it displays null alpha or nullbeta, depending on the user's response. How do I retain the t1's previously assigned value into Question2 so I can add to it? For instance, if T = "alpha" from Question1, and the user selects button b1 in Question2 how do I make t2 actually equal "alphagamma" instead of "nullgamma"? Is this even possible with strings?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been curious as to all the optimizations that go into the building of an .apk. I'm curious because of two things I've tried in the past to bring down the size of my .apk:
I have had a few large json assets in projects before, as well as a static sqlite database. I tried bringing down the size of the apk by gzipping them before the build process, but the resulting size is exactly the same.
I just today tried pngcrush on my /drawable/ folders. The resulting build was exactly the same size as before.
I would think that perhaps #1 could be explained by the zip process, but simply zipping the /drawable/ folders in #2 result in different-sized files. Perhaps the build process runs something akin to pngcrush?
Regardless, I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a detailed description of all the optimizations in the Android build process. I don't want to waste my time trying to optimize what is already automated, and also I think it'd help my understanding of the resulting apk.
I'm working on my new project but I can't figure out how to add a text under my Gallery.
I have 3 pictures, if I slide on picture 2 I can see under picture 1 and 3 the correct description but it doesn't appear the description under the selected picture (in this case the number 2).
This is my code...
Can anyone send me link which has an example for parsing json in android with a detailed description?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI found the following note in The Google Places API (Developer Preview)
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/#PlaceDetailsRe...
Note: To use the Google Places API you must first request a Maps API client ID and cryptographic key which you must use to sign your request URLs. For information on signing URL requests, please see the URL Authentication documentation within the Web Service APIs home page. But followed the instruction, I still do not know how to get the Maps API client ID and cryptographic key.

It has global highscore.
Game discription:
The goal is to collect boxes using the touchscreen to control the avoider, while avoiding the red smileys that move around the map to avoid death.
(100 Boxes comes with the next update in 2 days)
You have to collect the 100 boxes that appear one at a time on screen using the avoider. Each time a box is hit with the avoider a new box will be revealed at a different place on the field. With every box picked however,a red smiley will materialize as well. These move across the screen in various speeds and directions. Every box collected gives 1 to 5 points, depending on the time taken to pick it and increase the red smiley speed. Apart from getting less points when being slow, the avoider will also slowly grow bigger if it doesn't pick a box. It regains its original small size after picking up a box.
Every 15 boxes a green smiley will appear from the left hand side of the screen. When the avoider touches it, it goes into 'rage', meaning it will temporarily change into a big evil avoider that can eat the red ones, who now are the grey ones. The rage lasts for about 3,5 seconds, with every red smiley eaten counting as a point, which makes the game easier after the rage.
If you kill more then 15 boxes in a row, you gain the difference between the kills and 15 as bonus points for each pointbox. It will be shown next to the box. One important feature is the 'slowmo'. With every eaten pointbox a bar fills to a maximum of 10 seconds. You can activate it anytime by making an doubletab everywhere on the screen. The red smileys will move very slowly, allowing the avoider to maneuver easily.
The last feature is the bomb. You have one at start and about ~ 50 eaten point boxes it will appear an new bomb falling down the screen. You can only have one bomb at time. You activate it by making a doubletab on the bomb icon. Is has the affect, that all smileys die instantly.
*add I hope you enjoy it. Now I have implemented a integrated highscorelist (scoreloop)

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo the cable advertised that comes with this phone is a micro - USB cable. I went and ordered four cables as spares (2 for the cars and an 1 for each of our work). These cables have not yet arrived so I have not tried them yet. This is what I ordered:
Amazon.com: RiteAV - USB A to Micro-B Cable 6 ft.: RiteAV: Electronics
However, this morning I forgot my cable that came with the phone at home so I asked around if anyone had one so I could charge my phone. 4 people gave me cables to try that were micro - USB cables. They *look* like the cable that came with the phone but none of them will insert into the phone. So - now I have doubts that what I ordered will work with this phone.
1) Can anyone tell me if they think the above cables will work?
2) Can anyone tell me if there is a more precise description of the phone cables type?
3) Can anyone point me to a source of 6 foot long cables that will work with this phone?
I would like to further annotate the custom markers I have placed on a MapView (using ItemizedOverlay) by displaying a simple text label that appears for a particular item when the onTap event is fired.
This is a trivial exercise in the Google Maps JavaScript API and in MapKit on iPhone, but it is not obvious to me what the best or easiest way to do this is on Android.
Does anyone know where I can find the old version of the google places directory standalone app? I don't like the new one integrated with maps. I can't figure out how to set a location other than my current location when searching places. I guess if someone can tell me how to search for places NEAR an address or point on the map that I choose, it will be ok. I still don't like the interface as well as the old one though.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirstly, I wanted to mention taht I live in Canada, so that might mean some solution do, or don't exist. What I am looking for is some sort of smart phone that can do the following: GPS navigation stuff, makeing bookmarks of places, and entering coordinates is good. Voice over IP . even if it is using the voice implementation of something like ventrally, that would work, even better is to have it act like a true phone. Ideally I want to do this so that I can use WIFI network, rather then phone minites, to keep monthly cost down. Phone and video are cool and all, but on my current "dumb" phone I don't use them at all.

View 12 Replies View RelatedMy phone entries are all area code first, then 7 digit phone number. I've noticed that it places a 1 in front of every number I dial out. I know I can turn this off, but is it necessary to do this by Sprint? I know my ATT phone didn't need the 1 in front, area code by itself worked fine, even on long distance calls. I also noticed, if I just type the number in, no area code it looks at it like it's a totally new number than the one in my phone. My last phone wouldn't care if I put area code first, it would pick up that contact and show that picture. Any thoughts on this?

I recently got my first Android and am really digging the Google contacts integration. Especially with the Google+ profiles (even though.. who uses Google+??).
One issue I have, though, is that some of my contacts have G+ profile pics, and they show in my Hangouts app (when I text those people), but those pics do not show in the "Google People" app where I go when I want to look at my contacts. They also don't show in my phone dialer when I dial them by name.
