I would like to ask a question regarding redpin indoor positioning system on android. I read somewhere stackoverflow about redpin and visited their website. From there i followed their instructions on how to set up redpin on android, but i only get a red dot pointing on the top left corner of the map i uploaded. I would like to know if anyone has successfully gotten redpin to work for android and assist me in doing so?....or maybe can tell me what am I doing wrong. Sorry to ask, I am very new at this, thank you.
For what I could experiment, it doesn't really work at first, probably because of the lack of fingerprints or something like that.
But when you have added quite a few locations, and try again to take locate, it starts pointing at a particular location.
For what I could notice, it works well on android 2.2, but there is some debug to do on 4.1 and 4.2 for it to work fine.
I hope this will help
U would better read about INS (inertial navigation system), it is a navigation system that uses your phone sensors for calculation your position.
It happens to me as well, but which is not an error, and I guess it's just a failure of updating. Press the redpin image, if it can start the measurement, then it works well.

Based in this answer I think that exists a solution at least to system apps (or probably also in rooted devices?). Happens that i not understood the code example linked on answer comments. Someone could explain a step by step to achieve this please (with a code example if possible)? Thanks in advance.
Because of androids way of handling screenshots, excluding the overlay is not possible. But you could, as stated in your link, make the screenshot without your overlay.
This would result in having unrendered holes in your screenshot, whrere there would be only a black background.
If you want that, you could easyly just make your overlay black of the second you shoot the screenshot, or even disable the visibility, to get a clean screenshot. To give you a more detailed answer, we would need a more prescise question with examples and ideas how you wrote your code.
EDIT:
The problem is, that you could theoretically dig into androids source code and change the screenshot behaviour. But with that you would create a new Android version on your own. As #Hassan Uddin stated. Running that on your phone would require you to dig deep into androids source code and possibly not find any answer there.
It is not possible because it's like a security feature. If you are willing to spy on someone's screen, then you are too late it's 2021... the OS will not let you do so... you have to MOD the OS instead
You can not exclude overlay from screen capture. you can hide or make it transparent in case of your overlay. you can not handle third part overlay.
I am working with android studio for last few days, and I am pretty new here with this work. I am trying to implement a location sensor app. The basic idea is if my phone enters into some restricted area (would be predefined in app), some voice message will be popped up, Surely I have to keep the app running on background to test this. I headed with FusedLocationProviderClient and implemented a very basic getmylocation app for now, where my actual obstacle I found. The co-ordinates keep fluctuating all the time for a same place after the decimal points by some values[(xx.xfffff,yy.yfffff) where f are the fluctuating figures,and the app is supposed to work on the truth of that figures], so the sensor can never implemented if the measurement is wrong.
Anyone having idea, how to fix this or may be there are better alternatives to implement this thing? I am pretty new to this work, so I would request you to give explanation or some attachment/article links in support of your answer so that I can get things clear and straight forward.
If any details is required from my work, Please mention , so that I can update this question on next round edit.
Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I can't find anywhere else. let me know if there's somewhere else more appropriate.
Anyway, I'm just starting to work with Google Project Tango. I'm just testing, so I've set everything up as Google's guide asked, and placed a simple cube in the scene. It built and installed on the device just fine, and the tracking and everything works, but no geometry shows up.
I've tried a lot of things, changing settings, changing geometry, changing cameras entirely. But none of that has worked. I just can't get any geometry to show up.
Anyone have any idea of what might be causing this? I don't get any errors either... Bleh.
Thanks for your help!

Hey guys i am looking for an application that can navigate inside a mall.We can adopt the idea of inputting our current location through a QR code or by taking a snap of any near landmark(like shop,name boards..),Then we can input where we want go?But the actual problem is How to build a map of the indoor?Can u suggest any such tool to create a map for android phones.Because after creating the map by programming the gyroscope sensor in android for proper routing,because application now knows the source and destination,so i think it can display the shortest route(like GPS),then we can start walking through that path with our phone.Whenever we violates route using gyroscope we can track it.I think it is possible,if we turn left instead of taking right then app will direct us it is a wrong way.But i need help to create the map.Can anyone please suggest any idea?

I might be wrong, but I think that going off of GPS would be inaccurate. If I remember right, GPS is only accurate up to 10 meters or something like that.
Like I said, I might be horribly wrong, I'm just going off of what I remember
I've searched a lot before asking, but I can't make it out.
I'm making a GPS Tracking application on Android for runners & cyclists, like KeepRunning for example.
I tried to use open-gpstracker : http://code.google.com/p/open-gpstracker/source/checkout which is doing exactly what I want with the GPS. But I can't make it to run, I always get errors because I cannot import httpmime, etc... Do you have an idea about this ?
I also tried to do it by myself, but the OnLocationChanged was never called. (Maybe because of the emulator ? I used the DDMS menu to change location, the dot moves but the function isn't loaded) Any idea ?
I was trying to make a "mix" of these two answers : Create an Android GPS tracking application and Drawing a line/path on Google Maps but couldn't manage to do it for now.
I also checked myTracks which seems to be the best, but it's way too complicated for me right now...
I just started coding on Android, I'm not very comfortable yet with all this stuff, so thanks in advance for taking the time to read and answer :)

you need to download following .jar file and import it in your project for httpmime

Hope this will help.
