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 ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

1. @Override
2.      public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
3.           boolean supRetVal = super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
4.           menu.add(0, 0, getString(R.string.main_menu_open_map));
5.           return supRetVal;
6.      }
7.      @Override
8.      public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(Menu.Item item) {
9.           switch (item.getId()) {
10.                case 0:
11.                     startSubActivity(new Intent(this, FriendFinderMap.class), 0);

13.           }
14.           return false;
15.      }

You will at least see yourself on the Map

Please tell us if that fixed it

Hi

I manually gave my GPS location using this code

this.myLocation = new Location("gps");
this.myLocation.setLongitude( 46.51119 );
this.myLocation.setLatitude(-121.45356);

in the FriendFinder, updateList() method and FriendFinderMap updateView() methods

instead of "this.myLocation = myLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation("gps");". I comment it.

But I can't get the correct result, Map indicate me in another location near Africa. And also it dosen't center
the map according to my location. When I zoom In it doesn't zoom according to my location.

I tried this also "geo fix -121.45356 46.51119 4392 " but didn't work.

Somebody please help me to slove this problem, I'm new to Android

If there any updated code please kind enough to reply!

Thanks!

Hi,

Firstly thanks to both plusminus and Marchu for this, great stuff.

I'm starting work on my own map based app, and was having a problem with not being able to 'pan' the map... So I found this and installed it, and seem to have the same issue... I can zoom in and out on my location ok, but I can't pan the map up/down/left/right.

Is there a certain set of keys on the keyboard you need to use or something? On the emulator the normal 'maps' application i can just pan around by clicking and dragging the mouse, but no app I've tested (my own, this and one other) have let me do this...

Thanks again for the app, and any tips.

this.myMapView = new MapView(this, "key");

this.myMapView.setClickable(true);

try this to pan the map.
thanx!

Very nice example app, just one remark, in FriendFinder.java you do the following:



According to documentation, BroadcastReceiver should be unregistered in Activity.onPause()

If registering a receiver in your Activity.onResume() implementation, you should unregister it in Activity.onPause(). (You won't receive intents when paused, and this will cut down on unnecessary system overhead). Do not unregister in Activity.onSaveInstanceState(), because this won't be called if the user moves back in the history stack.

Moreover android.intent.action.LOCATION_CHANGED seems to be removed in SDK 1.0, as there is no note about it in here. I think using LocationManager & LocationListener is sufficient, therefore I assume it's safe to remove MyIntentReceiver class and all its references.

Hello everyone,


i am facing some errors in the friendfiner.java and friendfindermap.java


its seem this particular import cannot be resolved. can someone tell me what is the mistake?


import android.content.IntentReceiver;

IntentReceiver was removed -> you can use BroadcastReceiver

Hi,

I have download the FriendFinder code and run under android emulator (android sdk 1.0 r2).

The code compiles, but when i debug it within eclipse, i got a blank screen.

Hi

I have downloaded version 1.0 of the friendfinder. I had some trouble with the location getting null value at first, but then I replaced the code, with the code kSara suggested (only this worked, I tried everything else and nothing happenned):

//boolean gpsEnabled = myLocationManager.isProviderEnabled("gps");
//this.myLocation.setProvider("gps");

this.myLocation = new Location("gps");
this.myLocation.setLongitude( 46.51119 );
this.myLocation.setLatitude(-121.45356);

now the contacts I have, along with the distances appear normally.
However, when I press the menu button and then the "open visual friendtracker". the following error occurs:

Any ideas?? any help will be appreciated!
