Hi plusminus

i have some errors in that program.Can you please tell me how these files should be created??

My error is in following lines.

menu.add(0, 0, getString(R.string.map_menu_zoom_in));
menu.add(0, 1, getString(R.string.map_menu_zoom_out));
menu.add(0, 2, getString(R.string.map_menu_toggle_street_satellite));
menu.add(0, 3, getString(R.string.map_menu_back_to_list));

I guess this is because of not able to access other programs like FriendFinder doesn't access FriendFinderMap and so on...

Hi plusminus,

Now my error in running above program is as follows which is displaying on my emulator::

Application Error:
org.anddev.android.friendfinder

An error has occurred in org.anddev.android.friendfinder
Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{org.anddev.android.friendfinder/org.anddev.android.friendfinder.FriendFinder}:
java.lang.SecurityException:
Permission
android.permission.READ_CONTACTS required for provider contacts.


I have also added required permissions in manifest.xml file still am having these errors.....
pls do check these.....

Now my program is working....

But i have questions here:

1. I am getting my contacts as below:

manju(not set km)
poorna(not set km)
shiva(not set km)

why is this???


2.How is the location work done here?? I mean, for GPS stuffs, it requires some service provider of a person's mobile no or whatever... what is that here????

I have read somewhere in this tutorial that emulator itself acts as a psuedo-gps -receiver, that means can we locate person's location at places other than around Google-Headquarters????


3.before receiving the signal showing this mobile is at so and so place,we need transmitter which transmits the signals to the satellite for this purpose.Now which is out transmitor here??? mobile phone???? If so, how...???

answer to any of these questions is welcome...

Thanks in advance...

to add on to the above post manju have posted , here's the screen shot that we are experiencing ..

NOT SET KM:





There's one more thing .
I notice that the default location for ME is at North America on the map .
How do I change it to other location like Singapore ? A upclose zoom shot of Singapore .

hi all...

exactly the above shown type only we are getting error.... I tried to solve this by sending PM to others whom i thought they solved the error,bt it seems many ppl are having this... so pls those who have solved this error come to our help....

any solutions being generated guys ?

What does the debugger say? Maybe the column(see below) is not read out properly

Having done the tutorial with the very first SDK, there was a "Notes"-Column fpr each contact, which could take a String. I (mis)used this column to store a string like this: "geo:42.1242,123.12525;" and parsed it. This column is gone since m5. Any other column that takes a String will do the same job.

Yes, have a look at the Map-Tutorials Subforum. You'll find many tutorials replacing the system-default moch-gps-provider there.

As said before, Friends-Locations are hardcoded. This had been done for simplicity-reasons, not to overwhelm the Android-Beginner. Actual LIVE-sharing of the GPS-Data could be easily done via a centralized Server or P2P.
