No, not a virus.

Can i make a WM C# program which runs a java program, or (help with google maps api)

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could answer this question for me.
I am creating a wm app and for part of it i want some information from googlemaps, the maps api is in java and i was thinking of ways to incorperate this into my app. Can i create a java program to get data from google and have my c# program run the java program and get info from it? I could write my program totally in java but i don't like the way i have to first start the vm and launch my program from that is there a way to automate this? also I need quite a lot of information from the phone so using c# will make getting this info easier.
or are there any other ways i might be able to get the info I want, I don't really know anything about applets but could they somehow be used?
oh btw the specific data i want is distance between to map locations (via googles route not direct)
many thanks i hope comeone can help

Upload GSM cell-id on periodic basis to HTTP server

Hi,
Does anyone know of an app that will do this on Android phone. I'm looking for a simple app that will work the same way as this one for windows mobile:

or like this for symbian:

If it doesn't exist for Android, does a clever developer on here fancy knocking one up, so to speak?
Thanks

[Q] Mobile Data Manager for Windows Phone 7

Hello There,
I've been seeking a program that can run on the Windows Phone 7.5 for a while like "My Data Manager" as a well known app on the Android Platform. I'm afraid, there is none even close alternatives. I was wondering it is possible to develop this kind of a program for the Windows Phone platform.
I'm sure it will be perfect to control data usage, set alarms and get billing notifications, track historical data consumption, count sms and monitor talkind minutes for the users that have a limited data plan of their service provider as me. Just an idea... I was dealing with some simple e Visual Basic applications in the history but I don't understand complex programming logics nowadays, so may be it is impossible to get these kind of information from the Windows Phone...
Thanks for considering.
E.D.

Because of WP7 public API limitations, regular developers can't create that kind of apps, only manufacturers and cell providers. AT&T has an ugly and slow app for this (but with very limited functionality). Probably other cell provs has similar apps, I don't know...
As I guess... Thank you for your answer.

[Q] [DEV] Reference to XNA framework in Background Agent? /MediaPlayer/ Scrobbler./

Hey.
I'm currently working on an Audio Scrobbler for Last.fm.
I already ported the parts for scrobbeling and report now listening etc. form the C# Lib to Silverlight for Windows Phone.
So far it works very well.
But now comes the second big part:
receiving data from Zune Player in a Background Agent.
You can't use the MediaPlayer from XNA since you can't add a Reference to the Framework.
Now I'm flat on my back.. I got no idea how to receive the current song and information like duration, already played time, Artist and Track name.
Easiest would be a Work Arround to add a reference to the XNA Framework in an Background Agent.. Since it will not be posted to the official Marketplace it's not important what big M thinks about it.
Maybe one of you can help me out?
Off course the Scrobbler will be for Unlocked phones since only then you can run the Background Agent more often than every 30min.
So there is no problem in using RootTools or Interrop stuff.. but I have no idea of what I can do and since there is no complete documentation I don't find anything in the web.
App will be for free, so I can't give any reward but a Credit
Regards

Designing application UI

I am trying to work on a UI for a mobile application. Does anyone know if there are any web applications or windows programs that will allow me to just work on the aesthetics of my application? I am not worried about the functionality of my application, so far, just the application design. Can someone point me in the right direction?
