Is there an app where you and your friends can add each other and see each others locations via gps? I just thought it would be a cool idea, i didnt know if such a thing existed.

I want it to show a location that user selects from a list and show here the location is, then add a button on the map so that the user can navigate from there current location to the one selected. I have looked at tutorials but cannot find anything that does this. Anyone know where I might find a tutorial that shows this or how I can extend my simple map to show a given location.

Half of them didn't work. What's the best way to debug something like this? Sprinkle a bunch of printf statements (or whatever you call them in Java) throughout the app? Log everything to the sdcard? Write a toggleable view (is that even possible?) that acts as a console? Faber Fedor Cloud Computing New Jersey http://cloudcomputingnj.com

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used the algorithm on http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html to find the distance between two points.
My two points are
long1 = 51.507467;
lat1 = -0.08776;
long2 = 51.508736;
lat2 = -0.08612;
According to Movable Type Script the answer is 0.1812km
My application gives the result (d) as 0.230km code...
Im doing app in which, uses sqlite db file to get data. table in db having shop name, address,city, latitude, longitude etc columns.
Im able to get cureent location latitude and longitude and also able to calculate the distance between current location and the location of a shop(in db) using longitude and latitude values.
Here my issue:
I need to get/display 10 shopnames(from db) which are nearest(distance) to the current location.
I want to draw a bitmap on the screen by specifying the x,y locations of the four corners. I.e. I have a square bitmap and I would like to draw the:
CODE:.........
I have seen the Canvas method: public void drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, Rect src, RectF dst, Paint paint)
However I believe this takes the top, right, bottom and left coordinates to draw the Bitmap and not the corner coordinates. I need to specify the CORNER coordinates to draw the bitmap as I may need to stretch/distort the Bitmap (I am drawing the Bitmap on a 3D spherical model).
I always face this problem in my eclipse. I would like have a copy of the apps in all the versions of SDKs/NDKs. And once I have a project in eclipse, and if I have to import the same project from a new location, I get the message saying "Can't import, project of the same name already exists". Is this how it is? We cant import the same project from its 2nd location in eclipse? Everytime I delete the project from old location and put it in new. I know, it is a very unacceptable approach).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a Mileage Tracker App, if anyone knows of one. I plan on driving from location to location frequently throughout my work day, and I'd like to be able to save time on keeping track of my mileage by having an app that does it for me. What I'm looking for is to be able to get in my car, have the GPS on, open the app and press start. From there, I want the GPS to track my location, just like it would do for navigation. When I get to my destination, I want to be able press stop and have it tell me (and log on a daily, weekly, or monthly page) the mileage for each trip.
i.e.
11/20/10 3:35pm - 3:50pm 10.3 mi [View Map]
11/20/10 5:22pm - 5:45pm 24.6 mi [View Map] <--- Button to press to view map
I'd also like for it to record the path I took on a map (as seen above), so that I can easily identify where I am driving to and from, when trying to fill out a mileage sheet.
Am looking for a way to find images on the SD card, or at least images taken by the camera.
The ideal solution would be getting a collection of file paths or URIs for the images. I guessing you can do this through the MediaStore I just can't figure out how.
These days I work on a program to locate a user application inside the buildings, I think it can done by GPS .But I read on the Internet that GPS does not work inside buildings, is there a way to determine the user's location inside the building or user tracking inside the building.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't know if I'm wierd, but I haven't found any topic about the subject. The thing is, I have data with lat and lng stored in my SQLite database, and I want to get the nearest locations to the parameters I put in (ex. my current location - lat, lng).I know that this is possible in MySql, and I've done quite some research that SQLite needs a custom external function for the Haversine formula (calculating distance on a sphere), but I haven't found nothing yet, that is written in Java and is functioning.Also, if I want to add custom functions, I need the org.sqlite .jar (for org.sqlite.Function) and that adds unnecessary size to the app.The other side of this is - i need the Order by function from sql, because displaying the distance alone isn't that much of a problem - I already did it in my custom SimpleCursorAdapter, but I can't sort the data, because i don't have the distance column in my DB. That would mean updating the DB everytime the location changes and that's a waste of battery and performance. So if someone has any idea on sorting the cursor with a column that's not in the database, I'd be grateful too!I know there are tons of Android apps out there that use this function, but can someone please explain the magic.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several images present in different folders in my sdcard. I would like to display a list of thumbnails. So what I have done is while rendering any row in the list I read the file in an input stream, get the byte array, decode it to obtain a bitmap and set it in an imageview.
So far so good. But when I scroll the list, the list scrolls in jerks. I believe this is because decoding a bitmap from byte array takes some time. What I would like to know is that, is there any optimization which I can do to improve the performance, or better still is there any better method to achieve what I want ?
I've been out looking at real estate lately and I was thinking how convenient it would be to have an app where I could enter 10 addresses then the app would use GPS and Navigator to plot the fastest route from property to property. This could be a huge timesaver.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI obtained my HTC Legend a few days ago and it seems to have some messed up dates/times. I was wondering where this problem is being caused. My situation: Settings -> Date & Time. This is where I first noticed something odd. It appears to be using the wrong GMT for a certain location. Best example I can give u is: Greenwich Mean Time (London) GMT+1:00. As far as I know London has GMT 0? This keeps adding up which puts my timezone (GMT+1:00 Brussels) to GMT+2:00. But- the time/date/day on my phone in general shows correct (Clock and such). Contact list -> Birth date. Here I noticed the next odd thing. It shows the correct date (for ex: 9th May 2010) but it will show the wrong day (in this case it shows Saturday, instead of Sunday). This is only in my contact list. When I check the Calendar application it shows the correct day for that date.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you set "home" and "work" locations in Google Now? I found an article online but it didn't have the same screens as I do. When I got my GNex, I set it up at work and somehow it thinks that is my "home." When I'm home, I get a Card that tells me the traffic and how many minutes it will take to get Home. I don't remember setting it up that way, I just took all the defaults.
I'm running JB. When I scroll up to get Google Now, I scroll to the bottom and press the 3 dots and select Settings. I press on Privacy and accounts, then on Manage Location History. Maps comes up briefly, but then the Settings menu overlays it. From the menu I select Location Settings. Enable location history is enabled. When I press Manage your places, I get a blank screen with a tiny message that says "No check-in places to manage."
I own one of the first GNex devices with crappy GPS. I have a GPS in my car, so that wasn't a big problem. When I started to play Ingress, I used a external BT GPS Receiver (Holux 1000c). It worked very well, also inside of buildings.
Since 1.18 update of Ingress, the game doesn't start if you enable "mock locations" in the dev-options, to prevent cheating. I'm not a cheater and if I would be one, there are much easyer way's to cheat then modifying a external BT GPS.
So, is it possible (with root of course) to use a external GPS without enable "mock locations"?
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?

View 18 Replies View RelatedI have a Service that I am running in the background every minute. It's an IntentService and I start it like this:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent(context, GPSTracker.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, i, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
[code]...
That works, my Service is being run every minute (give or take a couple seconds for some reason) whether the app is up, closed, the phone is sleeping, whatever. how I should be getting the current location from this Service. I'm attempting to use LocationListener and a mix of getLastKnownLocation and hoping onLocationChanged will be called.
I think my problem is, onLocationChanged is barely getting called. Everytime the service runs and I do getLastKnownLocation I send a message to my database to check, I send a different message everytime onLocationChanged is called. I went to the store and back and getLastKnownLocation was called a few times, but onLocationChanged was only called once and it was incorrect. getLastKnownLocation always seems to be incorrect to.
Code:
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "In onHandleIntent!");
Location currentLocation = getLocation(this);
if(currentLocation == null) {
saveLocation(-8.0, -8.0, "nothing", "nothing", "nothing");
[code]...
I find that when I type in a location in the new Google calendar update, it only auto suggests contact addresses and recent locations. If I type in a business name, I don't see a list of addresses pop up.
