##Tracking map on Android

Note: this is originally based on my other repo, but it has been changed drastically therefore I think it would be easier to just create another new version. The old one still works, but from now I will only update this version.

###What's new 2012.07.19

  • Now be able to keep tracking indoor using Network location provider
  • Location update interval for GPS is 2s, Network is 30s

###What could it do

  • start the background process to periodically track user's location (GPS enabled)
  • for every point it records, it also obtain nearby places via Google Places API
  • store data and meta info into local database
  • an icon on notification bar to indicate the running process and also be able to go back to the app
  • start/stop functions
  • export location data (to "sdcard/tracking/")
  • draw points on map based on the data
  • create log file automatically

###Dependencies

  • Android support library: could downloaded via Android SDK manager
  • Google API Java client
  • Google Place API sample from ddewaele, updated to be compatible with the newest version of google API

###Issues

  • You have to obtain your own google api key.
  • map drawing not real time

Feel free to fork it; have fun.
