i develop a geo location application my windows mobile phone is htc fuze with windows mobile 6.5
I want only to show me, Longitude and Latitude but i can't
I build this kowor.com/version/Kataskopos.apk
Does anyone have any idea ?
Isn't .apk Android stuff?
Anyway, take a look at this video and source code!
How Do I: Use the GPS Intermediate Driver to Retrieve Location Information
thx for your reply yes apk is for android platform and it works
i want to to do the same for windows mobile ...i see you video but it use gps for to retrive the position
I want something like Based on cell tower ID's so I want the program to retrieve Longitude and Latitude from the Cell
do you know how it could be ?or any idea ?
Have you searched? IIRC there are some projects around here.
Programmatically getting the CellID from your Windows Mobile phone shows how to do it in C# .net cf
Check the comments for some info on free cell id DBs.
P.S.: welcome, and you'll get the right answer earlier when defining exactly what you are looking for. For example: How to get the location by cell id (not gps) using C++.

Recently i was thinking about creating an app which would show me my remaining calltime with one of polish prepaid services. I imagine it would work like that:
1. receiving a specific text message with my account balance from my operator the app would capture it and store the value
2. after each call being made operator sends sms with call cost. this should be deducted from previously stored value. etc etc.
3. value should be displayed somewhere, like on today plugin...
seems simple, but theres a catch;] i can't code for WM5. i just got myself delphi 2006 today and i see it has limited CF support so i can create applicatons... but am i able to create Dlls? also i don't have clue about creating dll's at all, especialy those for WM5. is it even possible with .net? is there any chance for me?
i know, i know, i shoud start to use c++ long time ago, but i'm affraid it' might be a bit to late for me;]
ps. is there anything like WM5 sdk, any guide kit for programmers, specs of any kind? where to look for it? thanks for any help. please note, i'd like to become one of you guys, i could even be of some value;]
heard somewhere that today plugins
cant be written in .net
here is a link to the subject of today plugins
http://forum.xda-developers.com:80/showthread.php?t=234162&highlight=codeguru
thanks, gonna try it in a minute.
(today unbelievable happened - my wizards battery got empty )
interesting. i'll consider switching to c++. as far as i understand it's not normal C, its some kind of mobile oriented c? but no connection with .net? how does it work?
Ok.
C++ is an extension of C to include object oriented programming. The language is not specific for mobile devices, so any book / article on the subject will do for starters.
I taught my self C++ after learning Pascal (Delphi is for Pascal right?) in school and it was quite easy because the languages have similar structure.
Your second stop is to learn WIN32 programming. I don't know how Delphi deals with APIs and function exports (that's what you need for DLLs).
Basically WM programming is very similar to desktop windows programming, except for a few miner difference (like all APIs using only Unicode).
You can download a free development tool called eVC 4 from MS. It looks exactly like Visual Studio 6 if you have any experience with that.
Unfortunately system DLLs like plugins can not be written using .NET but if you search MSDN (I really don't remember the link), there is an article on how to use a basic C++ DLL for the plugin and delegate all the real functionality to a .NET DLL.
Good luck.
yes, delphi is much like pascal
i know it's not that hard if you mean the structure. i just don't know how to start. in fact i got myself evc yesterday, after what you say i'll take good lok at it as soon as i prepare some room on my HD.
Delphi does well with windows api - as far as i can tell, i played with theese a bit so it shouldn't be hard to catch up when starting with c++. other thing is i never did dll, although i know how it works in general, i also used other peoples dll's in my programs. will do i hope. also, Rudegar provided us with good tutorial/example on today dlls, so i hope i'll be able to expand it. the only thing, i'm a bit anxious. you say evc is good for starters? ok, going to give it a try.
what a week, four days, four new RAD environments already
delphi is object pascal which is an extention of pascal like c++ is of c
c programs should compile without any problems in c++
Hi,
I saw a way to develop today plugins in .net : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/TodayScrn.asp?_r=1
I did not try and I guess it will slow down the device as .net is not very fast, but you can try...
Good luck
I am going to propose some kind of challenge. Its a collaborative project. I am just dropping the seed of it and see if you want to join in.
There have been some tests on using GSM cells triangulation / fingerprinting that allow the phone calculating its current position.
A GSM tower database is needed for the different places it should work and then, with adequate software, a virtual COM port can give NMEA sentences (GPS-like position informatio) to any program in the phone (i.e. navigator, PocketMaps, position uploaders...) with a precision of 100m in town and up to 1 km in open country. (see article: http://www.placelab.org/publications/pubs/gsm-ubicomp2006.pdf).
To get the database up and running GSM-stumbling is needed. That is using a program that stores at regular time intervals a (true) GPS-derived position with the cell ID of the cells visible to the phone at that moment (cells from various providers... it is not necesary to be connected to them).
Artemis and trinity are ideal devices for GSM-stumbling.
Data gathered while stumbling could also be sent to OpenStreetMap to help them building their map.
Once the database is created, any PDA phone can enjoy the "GSM-GPS" service and use maps with a reasonable precision.
Even though I am a programmer, I have no experience in programming for Windows mobile, so it would be needed that an experienced developers get interested on this.
There is an opensource project that has quite succeded on this but the work is dying. It is written in java for Nokia phones. It is the origin of the previously mentioned article.
http://www.placelab.org
It could not get their PocketPC soft to run, but I believe that they would help in a project like this and would probably reactivate their site a little.
BENEFITS:
- Coarse GPS for Artemis while not much precision needed would allow to have GPS without draining the battery.
- Coarse GPS for phones without GPS.
- Possible derived softs using NMEA sentences (from real GPS or "GSM-GPS") that allow context behavioral changes of the phone (like comm mgr pro).
SOFWARE MODULES NEEDED:
- GSM-Stumbler (data logger of GPS NMEA sentences with Cell IDs)
- Some processing of data gathered to build local databases... Surely Placelab colleagues will help with that.
- Cells ID interpreter (translator, through the database, of Cell IDs and triangulation to NMEA sentences through a virtual serial port)
It should not be extremely difficult as most things have already be done or have been addresed in opensource projects.
(i.e. Comm Mgr Pro used cell IDs extensively)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070
... and the placelab team has solved most practical computational issues.
I am poining to this post from the developers main forum, so that probabilities to get a techie interested increase.
Thanks for reading. I hope this storming of ideas is useful for some of us.
This sounds like a great idea - have you tried the java client on your WM Device to see if it works (jsut in case) ?

I tried to do it, but I am not proficient with java.
Besides, it is written to work in a "normal" (not pda-phone) pda, working by a Nokia phone running a special java plug-in to serve the cell-id via cable or bluetooth... So using the internal cell-ID would need at least a minimal re-programming gathering the cell-ID info and forwarding it to the rest of the software.
I think that looking to their software by "expert" eyes is the first thing to do.
there is a ppc software which does that

have fun playing with it
there is abuilt in test mode called netmonitor in all old nokia fones.this displays gsm positioning but only in hex

Its is a pity that this is not an opensource initiative, but looks pretty useful.
Hey Guys
Some Time ago, i had the idea to build something similar to apples app store for windows mobile, where everyone can upload .cab files and share them with others. The functions for a first release should be as follows:
- Upload .cab's with a desktop computer (or even directly with the ppc?)
- Possibility to write comments and rate the apps
- Download and install directly from ppc
I'm also a developer, but i never did something for WM, that's why i'm aksing you guys... I don't think that it is a complicated taks to do, but it's really hard to find informations about programming for WM in Visual C# or even Visual C++ with Visual Studio 2008.
I have a Rootserver with enough Harddisk Space and a great Internet connection, where the app could run on. So that's not a problem...
Is someone interested in doing such a thing?
believe it is already. think it's called jakal or something

Hi,
Unfortunanately there isn't yet a lot of information available out on the net regarding development using Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX namespace.
I am hoping we can start a new forum section dedicated to just this? What do you guys think?
I've only been working with it for about a week now, and I am struggling to find helpful information, and am figuring out a lot of things through trial and error (note the SDK documentation is quite thin too!).
Is there anyone else on this site that is keen to collaborate and share DirectX experiences?
i'm very interested in but i failed in basics (look here) and nobody here seems something to know about that.
one year before i gained few expieriences in direct3d. its similar but not the same to develop for mobile...
did you get running the examples of d3d from the ms mobile sdk?

Yea, all the examples (not) in the SDK worked. I put "not" in parentheses because it took me a long time to locate them as the are no longer included as part of the .Net compact framework SDKs or the DirectX compact framework.
I am working on a simple app now that will determine the hardwares capabilities, allowing developers to quickly discover which devices their apps/games will run on. But I am still only just getting used to the environment also.
could you send me please (or link) a working example? it would be enough to see how to create a d3d window. i want to develop an application that uses the g-sensor to navigate in a little 3d environment (for instance turn around a cube or sth like this).

VB.Net D3DM Samples - DirectX Capabilities App
Here are all the MS provided examples. I have not tried them all, but most of them work (on my device). The emulators run them, but very very slowly.
I have also attached the ActiveX Capabilites Test.exe application I created which will show you exactly what DirectX features are available on a particular device.
It requires .Net 3.5 to be installed.
View attachment VB.zip - Vb.Net samples

A good start
Anyone looking to get started on Mobile DirectX Development, should start with the fundimentals of the Managed DirectX Runtimes.
I recommend "Managed DirectX 9 Kick Start - Graphics and Game Programming" by Tom Miller. It's a good start into the world of Managed DirectX.

Thank you again
Depending on what you're planning to create, or make mods for, you may need certain SDK Libraries.
But honestly, I won't be able to help you much with these. I develop Software for Windows, not Windows Mobile [BIG differences].

Depending on which programming language you prefer.
Basic,C,C++,C#,Pascal?
You could choose Basic4PPC or Lazarus or some native MS stuff.
I am using actually old embedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP3 with PocketPC 2003 SDK and everything works also on WM653. In addition I use WM 6.1 emulator,but it is not necessary.
you could do worse than go to www.ppl-lang.com
Pocket programming language is an easy to learnn WM5/6/6.1/6.5 compiler that can create windowed apps and games.
V1.60 is completely free or you can purchase V2 with loads of extra libraries for in game physics, databases etc. It also compiles Windows apps too.
I have been using this for the last 3 years almost and have created many fine windows mobile apps.
