I created one android application which will be used by multiple users, so I want to track the user's of my application using a web browser kind of application.
I Know about Android Device Manager which will track the mobile phone of google account. In this case i have to restrict my all user's to use same gmail account so that i can track all of them, But i don't want to restrict users to use same gmail for their personal mobile phone.
I am thinking is there any way by coding we can locate/mark the device on the google map of one particular account. say i have 10 user's my code has to locate/mark all these 10 users to Map of gmail account say xxx#gmail.com. is this possible ?
How to achieve this requirement? Need help!
Here you go,
You can ask users for location access rights and than keep tracking their location data (i.e. latitude and longitude values).
Once you have latitude and longitude values of all the users putting them in a google map will be a straight forward task using Google Maps API.
Hope it helps,

I have an app which requires the registration of companies.Part of the registration requires the companies address.
I was wanting to auto-complete / suggest the address using:
GeoDataApi.getAutocompletePredictions()
(or equivalent) to minimise clashes with remote database to prevent clashes of names and address in the server database when merging.
The server/back-end is being developed separately and they are using the google autocomplete for addresses added using the web services.
The app is sometimes used offline. Currently the app checks if internet before doing complete, otherwise the user must enter the address themselves. This can led to companies being created twice with differently worded addresses being created
The app is currently being used in the US and is rolled out in multiple states.
1. Can the info from google auto-complete be used without access to the internet?
(Such as a downloadable database of addresses?)
2. Is there a way to cache addresses in a localised area?
3. Is there an alternative library to GeoDataApi (which follows the same address format)?

I have made a simple puzzle game in android. I want the top scorers to be displayed on a web page hosted on my google drive's public folder.
i.e when the user completes the game his score should be posted on the drive and the list on the drive should be updated.
(Is it possible)? How : Any alternative;
thank you.
To allow uploads to your Google drive folder you would have to include your Google password in your App so don't do it! as you will be giving access to all your Google stuff away.
Better to set up an email box that it automatically, with the users permission, mails to. You can then automatically or periodically distil a high scores page from the inbox of that account.
You could also set up a web page with a POST method that your program automatically has access to because it has the login details for that page only. Again don't forget to get the users permission.
The user permissions are important because:
You are using their account to post information which may incur charges
You are posting some information about them
If their boss sees the high score rising while they are supposed to be working...

I have created an android application, in which i have to find the current location of the mobile. For example using my application i have to find my friends current location.If i enter the mobile number the current location of my friend has to be shown in map.Its not necessary that my friend mobile to be smart phone. How can i track them using their phone number without using GPRS? Please help me.
You can get Location if you have Internet Connection(GPRS or WIFI), otherwise you Can not get Location, Because to get Location, your Phone need to communicate with (Google Maps) and then they get your Longitude/Latitude and then give you the facility.
If you need to check your Friend's Location, for that you need your Friend Latitude/longitude Information.
But you must have Internet Connection.

I am creating a app that's going to show my location and some other devices location in the map. I don't know exactly the procedure needed to do this. I know I m gonna use Google Map V2 and location API. But not sure about what else I need. Can anyone please tell me the instructions abstractly?
All you need is the Google Map v2 and server might saved different people locations.Please Check this link.How to setup Map API v2.Also you should need a service which collects your location and sends to server which sends it to other devices and shows on map on other devices.
Why is the need of server here?
The application shows only the location of current device but you want to get the location of other devices which are using your app.So send every device location to server which collects it and store it.Now after certain interval of time send these location(latitude,longitude) to every device which is using your app and plot them on the map.
If you still have any trouble comment here.Cheers :)

Our company is developing CRM platform, which is currently desktop application with connection to backed database and services. The solution is installed on the customer servers.
Now, we are preparing lite mobile version that would access exposed REST web-services, which are also deployed on corporate servers.
I would like to know what are the best practices for releasing Android or iOS (branded) mobile application that uses specific (company) web-server. Since there are many companies that would use this application, the most
straight-forward solution would be to create public app, where the users will have to insert the company's web-service location and their username and password. However, this is not very user friendly and also it doesn't allow you to brand the application to the company needs (maybe just changing the logo image).
If you're looking to release one app that can access the service for many companies, you could have a settings file that the app downloads with the names and links for each company. Then you would have a settings page where the user can select the company from a list and enter their username and password. This will allow you to keep the details up-to-date without requiring a new app version.
Think of the Mail settings on your iPhone. You can select from a bunch of providers and then you enter your details.
