The Friend Finder - MapActivity using GPS - FULL SOURCE

plusminus · by **plusminus** » Mon Dec 03, 2007 3:20 pm

Hello venkat,

it is displaying the list of your friends but you seem to have forgotten to set the "geo"-URI.

You go to the actual Map using the Menu-Button on the emulator. It starts the Map-Activity that show you (and your contacts/friends if you properly set the geo-URI to their notes, as shown in the first Part of the Tutorial)
This is the code taklen from above, that opens the MapActivity:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

@Override 
 
     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { 
 
          boolean supRetVal = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); 
 
          menu.add(0, 0, getString(R.string.main_menu_open_map)); 
 
          return supRetVal; 
 
     } 
 
     @Override 
 
     public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(Menu.Item item) { 
 
          switch (item.getId()) { 
 
               case 0: 
 
                    startSubActivity(new Intent(this, FriendFinderMap.class), 0); 
 
                    return true; 
 
          } 
 
          return false; 
 
     }

You will at least see yourself on the Map :!:

Please tell us if that fixed it :?:

Hi.

Each phone can get it's location by it's own GPS device.
However, how can phone A get GPS position of other phone, like B, C... and track them?
Thanks a lot!
Throught Short Message?

Hey guys,

@gaojinxuan:
Yes, it is possible with XMPP (basically nothing really different from a instant-messaging-conversation).
I'll make a tutorial on that if there is some free time between the million other things to do here

@venkat:
it works, I can see "Me" and "venkat" :!:

but you seem to have not correct connection to the internet out of the emulator :!:

Have a look at the proxy-issue here :arrow: here

Zooming in/out works, right :?:

Having zoomed in, you will see the "Me" walkign around on the map, don't you :?:

Hello venkat,

Sorry but it is always hard to help on an issue I never had myself :cry:

Hi +-,
i am behind proxy server with authentication. i set the http_proxy setting and when ever i tried to open my browser i will ask me to enter user name and password. i have attached my screen shot of authentication.
Can u just tell me +-, it's necessary to set "xmpp settings" for opening map application???. if it so, can u tell me how to do it???

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
venkat.

venkat, make sure you typed the latitude and longitude correctly on your contacts list notes section.

Hi,

I am also facing similar problem I can only see Blank Map with a "dot" at the center. I am also behind the firewall and set the proxy as follows:

Code: Select all: adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db ""INSERT INTO system VALUES(99,'http_proxy','[host]:[port]');""

and

Code: Select all: adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.browser/databases/browser.db ""INSERT INTO passwords VALUES(99,'host','username','password');""

I am able to browse the net through emulator but could not see the map for friend finder application.

I am attaching the error here.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

I had verified. both latitude and longitude are correct in notes section of my contacts list..
List showing the distance is getting refreshed but When it comes to Maps nothing is shown except "dot"'s as attached.
