gps

I am having trouble in converting the latitude and longitude values into android esri arcGIS map Point. Here's my code to get latitude and longitude values from GPS coordinates: LocationManager lm; String towers; double lat; double longi; TextView txt; lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Criteria crit = new Criteria(); towers = lm.getBestProvider(crit, false); Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(towers); if(location != null) { lat = location.getLatitude(); longi = location.getLongitude(); } now I have the latitude and longitude values. Now all I need is

As most of you might already known there is a new Location Settings Dialog API in Google Play Services. For those who don't know here is the screenshot of Maps app which used Dialog API in action. It is kinda unfair that google only added that API inside their play services. On the other hand, I think if they could do it, there would be a workaround to do it. That's why I am asking this question. Any information is appreciated. (Note: There was an exploit which let developers to enable and disable gps/location setting programmatically. However those tricks available on SO no longer works.

A timestamp expressed in milliseconds since 1.1.1970 UTC is a common way to store timestamps, e.g in Java. e.g: long timestampUtc = System.currentTimeMillis(); Such a timestamp can be formated in human readle time format, e.g using this code SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", Locale.US); df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); String humanTimeUtc = df.format(new Date(timestampUtc)); System.out.println(humanTimeUtc); which gives output: 2014-02-14 14:58:05 Now imagine that today at midnight the time administration introduces a new UTC leap second. If I run

I want to test my app on the device. Is it possible to hard code the latitude and longitude values somewhere in the device settings so the app reads those instead of the current location? I want to test my app for different locations other than my current location. Inside GPS mockup If you have access to your application code, you can always create a mockup implementation for LocationProvider so it will read location and speed data from file or RecordStore and return it as a Location , something like public class MockupLocationProvider extends LocationProvider { public MockupLocationProvider()

This is in part an extension to a previous question: Android programming, mapview locationoverlay: how to change the default blue location dot, with another image I have been working to get the devices location to display on the map (easy with enablemylocation) but I need to replace the default icon (easy enough, sorted that) and then rotate it to correspond to the current device bearing - acquired from GPS, as it needs to be direction of movement, not direction the phone is facing. I am using 'getbearing()' in the same way as I've been successfully using 'getlatitude()' and 'getaltitude()',
