What I had not known in OpenStreetMap, I’ve done with Google Maps, in five lines. branches = server.getBranches(); for(int i = 0; i < branches.size(); i++) { OverlayItem item = new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint(branches.get(i).getLatitudeE6(), branches.get(i).getLongitudeE6()), branches.get(i).getStoreName() + ” ” + branches.get(i).getBranchName(), “”); poundsOverlay.addOverlay(item); }
I’ve been crawling around the Internet for journals and blogs (and blogs who have other neat references cited), and I’m currently looking on the following: How Advertising has Changed in 140 Characters or Less.

Problem is, it doesn’t work with the emulator. I have yet to test on an actual Android device. Hope it works. [...]
I got no words for it. I’m just plain happy. *sniff* (Thanks to the OSM, OSMDroid, NavUP source code for reference.) Next up — map overlays (of store information), and geofencing (filtering stores based on location and given a radius). I still have a long way to go.
Thanks to this and EWness (Joel Acuin and I’s CS 174 Android project), I remembered that when writing to a file, one must use native Android functions, and not the Java ones. /* FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(“update.xml”); PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(fileWriter); printWriter.println(xmlFileContents); printWriter.flush(); printWriter.close(); */ FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = context.openFileOutput(“update”, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); fileOutputStream.write(xmlFileContents.getBytes()); Behold, the [...]
