Android location tracking

I'm a beginner in android development. I need some idea about how can I make an app which can track a phone's live location. I want to use the same app on 2 devices and both of them should be able to track each other. Can someone please help?
the good starting point is https://developer.android.com/training/location where you can find examples and best practices. Depending on your application please consider a suitable strategy (background tracking, geofencing, and impact on the battery). The second thing you have to solve is how to exchange/share information between devices. There are ways how to deal with it. For example, google API, web socket or something else. Sorry for the general answer.

Bluetooth HFP support for Android App with SIP/VoIP

I am trying to add support for bluetooth devices like headsets/headphones/car stereo to my android app which allows user to make SIP/VoIP calls. I am trying to mostly address the requirements of Answering and Ending of calls using button on bluetooth headsets, other buttons/features handling is good to have.
With the search I have done and all the text I have read so far, I have come across the following-
One common way suggested everywhere is registering to ACTION_AUDIO_STATE_CHANGED. But this doesn't really helps me. Intents for it are sent every time the button on Bluetooth headset is pressed And also when we start the ring tone on bluetooth headset.
A very common solution I found was use of Bluetooth Adapter class. There isn't much you could do with it. So again not helpful.
Another approach I came across is the use of Vendor specific headset events. After some efforts I was able to get this working for specific Plantronics Bluetooth headsets. Supporting Jabra is important.
One more approach I came across is binding with IBluetoothHeadsetPhone.aidl, the way the phone app does it. I could find very little information on it, not enough to go ahead and implement any thing.
If anyone has done such things, I think the problem I am facing is not an uncommon one, I just believe it is not documented well.
Any pointer, approach, link would be appreciated.
I will try to add more info as I find any or any other approaches I try. Please ask for details if you need any more on the solutions I have tried. And please suggest changes instead of just flagging the question.
Thanks in adv.
Sorry about the late post. I was able to find a solution for this issue. It is not simple fix.
You need to use ConnectionService from Android telecom framework. Check out this link here & here. After this your VoIP calls will have cellular call like treatment.

Is it possible to open Android Google Map voice search?

I would like to open this directly from my program, is it possbile?
I checked this, but cannot found relevant information
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/intents
If it is impossible, is there any alternative way?
You can't do that from your activity.
In the image above you can see a dialog that catches the voice of the user, this is because Google Maps calling an intent ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH, and you can't start an intent and after calling Maps.
Here is the only documentation that I found on the internet for that question. The Adding Voice Capabilities. Just remember that these voice actions are task-based and are built into the Wear platform. So you need to use Android wear for that, see Maps API on Android wear.
Just read the two documentation to understand more. Also take note, that do not violate any terms of service on the Google Maps. Here is one example question for that.
So far, I have not used this voice capablities, so I'm not sure if it will really help you, but I think I give you a small idea with it. Goodluck and Happy coding :)

Transfer File via Bluetooth with Android

i want to code an application which enable file sharing via Bluetooth with android, but i can't find samples which i can base on. Please can someone give me links to some samples.
There is really a lot of info all over the place about this.
A good starting point is always the documentation it also has examples too!
As was mentioned a quick google search should have given you a lot of examples programs but here is one anyways.

Android feedback via bluetooth

I'm trying to create an Android app which provides a user with feedback such as haptic/textual based on a bluetooth signal it receives from a transmitter.
Could anyone recommend any article/book where I could get some good information? Can't seem to find anything useful myself.
Much thanks.
