gps

I'm new to Android and web service development! currently I'm working in developing Android program that will send longitude and latitude information to asp.net website (to show the location change the website map) the questions are - how to send this data to the website (the best practice)! - any suggestions for a suitable framework starting from the android application itself , inserting to database , client/server connection !! I've read a lot about web services specially REST ..but didn't find tutorials Appreciate your kind help.. Paul Gregoire I would suggest that you use JSON to encode

I'm developing an android application that would locate the user(assuming that the user is on the road) and the app will create the shortest route for the user to take to be able to go to the users chosen destination. Locating the user isn't the question since there's an API for that here: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidLocationAPI/article.html so here's the catch. The roads ,intersections and their distances can be mapped or declared via variables in the code but my problem is that the GPS APIs i found so far would only return a longitude and latitude and not the road names or the

I wrote simple NMEA parser and I'm reading latitude and longitude from GPS. Values readed by my parser are very scattered comparing to some GPS commercial library I'm using. Values readed from this library are very smooth. What algorithms I should use to correct readed position from gps? One option would be a Kalman filter GPS Signals read from a GPS receivers are today only scattered, if the receiver is standing still, or moving very slowly. A simple and very effective approach is to ignore all positions which have its speed attribute below 5km/h. This works well for vehicles. For pedestrians

I published my application to android market. I got error in my home page. Somebody wrote crash error. But this application is perfectly working in my real device. I added permission also. My error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.karthi.locationspeecher/com.android.locationspeecher.LocationSpeecher}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: provider==null at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1651) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1667) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1500

I am trying to create an app that will obtain the users location via gps, display the users location in google maps, and then update after a certain amount of time/movement. I currently have an app that will obtain the users location via gps and update itself every 10meters/10,000 miliseconds, but currently all it does is display what the coordinates are. I have it set up to connect to google maps, but at the minute it is simply setting the map to some coordinates that I have manually entered myself. How do I get it so the map will display the location based on the coordinates obtained via gps

I have to develop a kind of GPS navigation application that needs to constantly keep track of the position of the user, which is moving by car. In the specific, I don't have to display the current location on a map but just to record its position with the best possible precision in order to calculate the total distance traveled. Of course the application needs to continue its work in background if the user switch to another app, a phone call come in or something like that… From the tests I have made and from what I have learned from this useful post (and from the documentation ), it seems to

I am developing an application wherein I want to enable GPS, when I start my activity and I want to disable GPS when I exit my application. Can I do it through my program.. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code... private void turnGPSOn(){ String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED); if(!provider.contains("gps")){ final Intent poke = new Intent(); poke.setClassName("com.android.settings","com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider"); poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE); poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"))
