I am trying to learn the basic concepts of Android coding and this is my first app that is beyond a simple "hello world" on the Android platform.
The app is a "passive" GPS logger, only activating itself when other apps, such as Google maps, Waze etc, are already using the GPS, logging the track into sdcard/loclog as a GPX file.
This is why i've decided to try & code this:
I've been looking for a passive GPS logger on the play store before and found none, practically all of them are requesting locations on their own.
It provides a good training ground for multiple Android coding concepts (activities, intents, broadcast receivers, a service...)
Any chance anyone interested in testing this?
Any feedbacks?

It works.
Made .gpx and exported it onto endomondo site, and route is there. Thanks
Sure it does. I wouldn't upload it if it wouldn't work at all
By feedback i mean the unexpected stuff

Hey guys, just ran across this app in the market. Apparently it's a location based task list. The way I understand it, it uses the GPS to figure out where you are and then when you put in a certain task, you put the address of that task and then it reminds you when you arrive at the destination or something along those lines.
ActionComplete uses WiFi (rather than GPS) for location-based notifications. You are welcome to watch ActionComplete for Android: Setup And Use Location-based Notifications video tutorial at actioncomplete.com/android. There are other video tutorials and resources to help you ramp up with AC for Android as well as AC for Web/AC for Web Pro at actioncomplete.com and actioncomplete.com/web.

Hi. everybody
I need to you help with google on windows phone 7. I studying and soon graduate. but I don't know to get the google map and track show in WP7 like TAmap program. but my project must send data Lat,Long to webserver. Now I can't it. Please professional help me to suggestion to write code c# and xaml file.
Thank you very much.
Hi,
Firstly, you should check out the Location Service sample from MSDN. This will show you how to read the GPS data from the device.
There are quite a few tutorials regarding web service communication and it really depends on how your web service is set up. This video might be useful (click Attend).
I haven't used Google Maps API, but they probably have the ability to add a point at a given GPS location. So, get the GPS location from the device and use the Google Maps API to plot that location on the map.
Hi
Thank you Sir.
I couldn't find a thread where anyone has mentioned this so I thought I'd mention this app. It's ArcGIS from ESRI and it is in the Marketplace (FREE!). It might be getting overlooked because people think they need to know GIS to use it which is not the case. Within the program there are dozens of base maps to choose from including a world road map. It doesn't have turn by turn directions but it does allow you to center your location and have the map scroll under you while driving. The world map has fairly good detail. Give it a try, I think you'll be surprised at all the information you will have access to with the various base maps.
I don't have any affiliation with the developer except I am a user of their desktop software.
Interesting, will show this to my girlfriend. She uses the desktop software for school, might have interesting integration capabilities.
Just for anyone who reads this, there is now a Turn-By-Turn navigation app which uses this API.
The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959087
I loaded the A to B navigation yesterday and it's got to be one of the top 5 free apps out there.
One thing I like about the Arcmap app I originally posted about is the ability to have useful maps saved in the favorites folder and switch between them within the program. It can go from a road map to a weather map and back again with just a few button pushes.
that's really amazing
just curious if it would have an integration problem with a laptop?
Hi all,
I have just released the first alpha version of Google Web Service For Windows Phone API on CodePlex.
The API is functional, with a few exception of completed and non-common features from Google's documentations. It is a side product of my newest app, Please Like the Facebook page , and the app is available here
Google Web Service API for Windows Phone
I am looking for contributors.
Also, please leave a comment if there is a particular Google API that you think should be in priority in porting to .NET
Please let others know such API exists. I hope my work will bring convenience to a lot of developers.
Support API so far:
- Google Directions (finding directions)
- Google Places (Geocoding, Reverse Geocoding)
- Google Places Autocomplete
- Google Static Maps
I tried using google reverse and geocoding apis but unfortunately, they state that the results must be used only for displaying on their own maps. I wanted to use the results to display in a listbox..Google needs to tweak their terms and conditions a bit and not make everything centric towards their own products
Hope someone can use this to make a Google+ app

you have to use business maps api.. the problem is the price..
Right, I agree with you, and I greatly doubt they will open that up.
NFC-AAAC or NFC Assisted App Access and Control
Pretext:
I have 2 children under the age of 3, all of their content (audio/video) is digital accessed. This created a disconnection for them, as they are not able to play /change the content unless my wife or I change it for them. I know there is an interest for them to be able to change the content themselves as when we have Netflix or Pandora open on the touch enables screens they are all was trying to pick the show/music they like. The few places where they do have a physical medium to play content,
The DVD player/CD player (note we have it backed up digitally), there is much interest with the “desk”. The kids would love nothing more to remove and replace it over and over. Watching this behavior over some time has lead me to believe that a simpler solution would/could be doable.
This brings me to NFC tags, with a few add-on programs the NFC tag can be scripted to perform most complicated input tasks.
Goal:
To provide access to complicated tasks via NFC.
To allow a person of limited physical input abalaty to use smart phone tech.
This can include, the disabled, the young, the old. To allow access to tasks/apps while driving or when attention is needed other places.
Current Scope:
Create tags for a radio station that can be quickly taped to change station/play album.
( Keeping the driver form looking at their phone while driving). Create tags that auto play Netflix/Amazon Prime/YouTube/Google +/etc videos.
This may include second screen casting Create tags to autolaunch/call via Skype/cell phones
Want to call grandma? Or have grandma get on Skype, etc. Create tags to attach to things around the house foods/shapes/flashcards etc.
When was this put in the fridge?
Send text to let people know the item is all gone etc.
What was this called.
Call support.
Where I'm at:
I'm currently gathering URIs / intents for the tasks described.
I will be using a combination of the “NFC task launcher” and “Tasker” to complete the tasks.
I will be following up with more detailed guide on how to set up functions/tasks.What I am looking for:
Help locating the URI / intents to call to complete tasks.
More tasks, Do have someone you know / you yourself finding something more complicated than it should be let me know and we can discuss how to fix.
Current URI list
Note Most if not all the URIs are undocumented aka may stop working, I will try to keep the list up-to-date. Please let me know if any stop working.

Mmm, interesting.

interesting ... how did you discover the uri to launch apps with arguments?
I also used a custom URI and NFC Task Launcher to launch my app "Badge NFC" and store custom data inside the app database (look at my signature to get a playstore link) ...

All of the custom URIs prefixes are in the apps manifest.
If I'm lucky I can simply type it into google and find someone else that's done the work, (to get the data argument)
If not I used JD-GUI to look over the source code to trace the Android Intent path and see what the app is looking for.
Another way is to see is if the app has a web app interface. Aka if I go to the web site or get a share link, does the app autolunch the content.
I was a little confused with your question, hope this answers it.
Thanks for the interest.

Yes sure, that's what I was asking ... Cool!
I'll search in some of my favourite apps manifests to see if I can find something interesting ...
