##Tracking map on Android

Note: this is originally based on my other repo, but it has been changed drastically therefore I think it would be easier to just create another new version. The old one still works, but from now I will only update this version.

###What's new 2012.07.19

• Now be able to keep tracking indoor using Network location provider
• Location update interval for GPS is 2s, Network is 30s

###What could it do

• start the background process to periodically track user's location (GPS enabled)
• for every point it records, it also obtain nearby places via Google Places API
• store data and meta info into local database
• an icon on notification bar to indicate the running process and also be able to go back to the app
• start/stop functions
• export location data (to "sdcard/tracking/")
• draw points on map based on the data
• create log file automatically

###Dependencies

• Android support library: could downloaded via Android SDK manager
• Google API Java client
• Google Place API sample from ddewaele, updated to be compatible with the newest version of google API

###Issues

• You have to obtain your own google api key.
• map drawing not real time

Feel free to fork it; have fun.
