The Friend Finder - MapActivity using GPS - FULL SOURCE

Why is the custom intent reciever / filter in the java sources instead of in manifest.xml? I'm not sure I quite understand how manifest.xml works...

Thanks!

Hello theseum,

it is placed inside the java-code because we are listening for "internal events" only.

One usually creates an IntentReceiver-Class and places it to the AndroidManifest.xml, if we need to listen for anything else than our own app.

Hey, guys!
I have one question... according the working of this application on the real devices. Don't you think that attempt to retrieve device location can last much time (gps turning on, satellite communication and so on..). This can lead to the situation that GUI process will be blocked and that user will receive message with prompt to kill this process. What do you think about this?

Hello zoe,

what exactly is your problem (are you sure it is just updating?).

I know, a non updating R.java can freak one out!
Some succeed in turning off "Build Automatically" and Build manually.

Hello zoe,

Its probably not more than exchanging the "nmea"-file on the emulator.

Hello Ramakrishna,

it would be helpful, if you debug and post the line, where the exception is thrown.

hi plusminus

i have got the same exception and i found it was thrown at

LocationProvider provider = providers.get(0);

because of the providers's size = 0

you should add the permission into manifest file

hello

I am running on the new emulator/sdk. Everything works from the code you pasted above with the
changes suggested in the comments section. But it still doesnt show me the distance in my display.

It says, 'distance not set'. I think i know the reason partly..as in the new emulator and GUI it doesnt give
me an option to add notes directly for a contact or more clearly there is no field called 'Notes' for
a contact.
To add something like a 'Notes' field, i need to add a new label and name it to 'Notes'.

So there is not direct URI/(constant like People.NAME etc) from which i can extract the geo string from a contact.

Have you played around with the new emulator and tried out this app?.

Like i said, i am only guessing..so if there is something i missed here, do let me know.

Thanks

Pavan
