New Update

I just release an update for my first app "Show The Way". I fixed several crash problem and developed some of the features. Bulit-in direction, overlay tracing button ...

I rewrite setting activity. Now it has about, rate my app and share button. I want to get some feedback from users.

In this update, i stop using AdWhirl and i start using MoPub. In last month AdWhirl doesn't record any impression or request. But i still get ads from AdMob and inMobi. I think they stop developing on AdWhirl and focus on AdMob mediation. Whatever i decide to use MoPub and i see it is very easy to implement. It has very good mediation network system and has a good reporting with click number. With this change i start using LeadBolt and TapIt. I don't expect good result with TapIt but i want to have an alternative for AdMob.

Also i decide to develop this app's idea (save location quickly and navigate). I will release a new app which named  "Pin On Map". I will use Polaris Map Library and Sherlock Action Bar. I hope it will be available in this month.

How to change position of MyLocationButton on new Map API v2 - 2

In my previuos post[1], i mention a workaround for changing buttons on Google Map which we use with google services. It is good to know they listen developers and make their products more development friendly. (I hope it goes like that way all the time and all the product lines of Google) Now we have a method for setting padding of map. It is add padding to useful area of map. We can see full screen map but with padding we can use prefered area of it. It is good for overlay action bar and other things on map view. [ 2] They write a blog and take a video about it. Read blog and watch video if you are using google map in your app :) [3] And finally, They add this method because of this issue. That means, if you find a bug or want extra feature from and api, write to google via this issue tracking system.

Using Accelerometer when Screen Off

Introduction Android Phones have a lot of built-in sensor such as gyro, proximity and accelerometer. Using Accelerometer in Android is a known thing. For listening sensors, class or service needs a SensorEventListener implementation. An Activity is only exists when you are seeing it. When phone enters standby mode, activity which was recently active frozen and restored whenever needed. While this frozen time, activity doesn’t run. Because of that it doesn’t need sensor updates. And Android stop to listen some sensors for power management. Services have this condition like classes (activity). In contrast to class, a service run every time, even when phone is in standby mode. Therefore Services needs sensor updates for some situations. But android stop to listen some sensor(accelerometer) in some different phones. There is a solution for that. This is not an exact solution but it work with a lot of phones. With a BroadcastReceiver listen   Intent. ACTION_SCREEN_O
