The Friend Finder - MapActivity using GPS - FULL SOURCE

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:

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 Wink

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

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

Have a look at the proxy-issue here

here

Zooming in/out works, right Question

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

. While zoomed in, i can see the "Me" walkign around on the map(Blank map).

Hi +-,

Hello guys,

@ Ramakrishna:
Some say, that the Maps-Application is only possible by port 1080....
Have a look at the following posts:

@ rmeph:
Please use the debugger, to locate the specific line Exclamation

As NullPointerExceptions can occur on many of the lines Wink

venkat, be sure you are not using your wireless connection. Android only support wired internet connections.
