I m going to explain simply what I want to do, and I will appreciate for your recommendation. I want to put a small gps sticker on my kid and develop an app in order to track him in real time, if he is going to school or not.
Is there any gps device (sticker) like that, if so can this device send its position simultaneously to my app.
Is there any tutorial that can help me to develop an app like this
There are GPS devices available in market for spying. You don't have to develop an app as They will also provide an app. checkout on of the link

or simply search spy GPS on google you will find a list of devices.

So I'm working on a Ride Hailing app and my current feature requirement is: Alert the driver to press "Start" when he picks up the customer and goes en-route. Some of the drivers forget to start the trip and their wage calculation is inaccurate because of that.
So I was wondering should I use GeoFencing or ActivityRecognitionAPI transitioning feature for this?
Also, I see a lot of driver apps on the Playstore using this permission and I wonder how I can use this API to improve the experience of the drivers on my app. What other features or enhancements can be made using ActivityRecognitionAPI.
Thanks
Imagine I am building an app, let's say a pizza delivery app.
User Story: As a user, I want to track the movement of the delivery person against the map so that I can be ready to meet them when they are nearby
Let's say this app is already built, now I just need to test it. Obviously, telling my friend to install a driver's app and drive around so that I can see how well geofencing works is not the best approach here.
Are there any testing tools that allow me to simulate movement against google maps so that when I have a customer's app open I can test how well the live tracking of my driver works?
I tried googling it but didn't find anything, so what would you ladies and gentlemen use to simulate the movement to test the application?
Thank you in advance.

Of course, there are. For Android, there is an app called Lockito. You can actually simulate the movement over a Google Map between two points.
The covid-19 app is capable of detecting who came into contact with who, how do they do it? I am trying to make something similar but I am unsure how they managed to get that information from the phones. I don't need the information to be private (like phone number), it could be something that only the government can make use of (like sim card number or MAC address. Is that possible?
I looked into Google Nearby and Wifi Direct... But as far as I understand it, it requires a handshake (covid19 app doesn't). I also looked into potentially making your phone into a hotspot and capturing wifi requests but I am not sure which library / API lets me do that.
Does anyone have know how this is done? I can't find a concrete answer anywhere, this seems to be actually impossible until I realized that the covid-19 app is doing it.
As Morrison Chang and ArtHare have commented already, Google and Apple have implemented this on an OS level:
In the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms. (source)
If you want the specs they're using, Apple and Google have pages on how contact tracing is implemented, but it would be hard (if not impossible) for an app to implement this.
I want to make an app which automatically puts the the phone to silent mode when the user enters certain areas (such as the academic block, library etc) in our university. I tried to search how to do this but was not able to find anything useful.
Can anyone please tell me how to this?
You can use Geofencing technique for detect the particular location(on the basis of latitude and longitude). This tutorial will help you to understand and implement the working of Geofencing. After detect the location you can silent the mobile phone programmatically.
I am a student studying software development currently, and we were asked to come up with a project of our choice to work on for the next few months.
I want to create an android application as this is where my interests lays.
Now, the idea i have is not fully developed yet but hopefully you guys can help. The idea is:
If i create an app, and this app is enabled/installed on 2 android devices, as long as this 2 devices are in range of a certain distance I would set, they can communicate.
It could turn out to be a messaging system, or image sharing etc. But my question is, is it possible to use proximity to enable 2 android devices with the app installed to communicate?
Keep in mind, I am no expert in Android but I am no beginner either.
Any help appreciated.
