[APP][2.1+] Share Where - Location Sharing - Android Apps and Games

Share Where is an easy-to-use app that allows you to quickly share your current location with anyone and everyone.
It also includes a home screen widget that allows you to send a predefined message together with your location to multiple recipients via email/SMS or any of your apps with just the click of a widget.
The location is presented as a link to Google maps.
From article at talkandroid.com/reviews/apps/featured-android-app-review-share-where-location-sharing-travel-local/
"These widgets are not only efficient, but they are perfect for kids and emergency situations. Kids can quickly update where they are and if they are in an emergency situation, a quick tap of their finger on the widget will let loved ones know exactly where they are."
I started working on it in Februari 2012. It was originally created for my friend, whose 10-year old son suffers from severe epilepsy and a light form of cerebral palsy, so he needed a quick and simple way to share his location in case he didn't feel well. In situations like that you don't have the time to start figuring out exacly where you are and then put that in a message that you send to the ones who need to know. So I solved this by letting him press once on a widget, and it would send a pre-written message together with his location to his parents' email addresses and cell phones. My friend really liked the app so I developed it to meet more general needs aswell.
I figured that there are lots of other situation where this can be used, and the feeling of helping just one person out of a critical situation with my app would be fantastic.

I added a new feature called "Send By Request", where you can allow people to request your current location via SMS.
When the SMS is received you will get the option to accept or dismiss the request. Those added to your list of trusted persons will get an automatic reply without any interaction from you.
You also have the option to specify your own private phrase that can be used to get an automated reply regardless of which device the message is sent from. This could be used if you have lost your phone and need to borrow a friend's phone to locate yours.
Send By Request is setup in the SMS section of the app settings.

I've a problem with the link inside the message
If the recipient phone language is not set to english (just tested using french), google maps opens with message: "no results for n.nnnn, p.pppp" (GPS coordinates) then shows the *recipient* location.

I have noticed this and commented about it in the app description on Google Play:
*** There is a bug in some versions of Google Maps for Android that formats the input coordinates incorrectly. This is depending on your device's language setting. It works for English, but fails for some languages. If the Google Maps app isn't able to open the link, open it with your web browser. ***
I have also written a report to Google Maps and mentioned it to Android Developers on Google+:

Unfortunately, since the problem depends of language settings of the *target* device not of the *source* device, the target user is generally unable to have knowledge of the fix.

A user sent me a "hack" about how to prevent Google Maps from wrongly converting the coordinates.
The fix will hopefully be published this weekend together with some other updates.

The Google Maps link fix is available in the version attached to the first message of this thread.
It will also be available on Google Play soon.

I am planning to translate the app from English to Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, German, Italian and maybe some more languages (I can do the Swedish translation myself).
If someone wants to help me, please send a mail to [email protected]

And seens like the png are still in chinesse, the lock rotation screen is in chinese too.

Do you mean the word "Lock" when the screen rotates? That is in English for me.
Thanks wxrjack for making this. It's without doubt the best browser available in my opinion.
Any chance we could get an option for turning off exit app confirmation? When a URL is launched from inside an app, and i press back button to return to that app afterwards it gets in the way always asking.

Issue here with Flash or youtube, I'm not sure: I played a youtube vid on a site, and then hit back; the video sound kept playing. I hit home, and it kept going. Eventually I hooked up to my phone using the shell access in adb, and killed the browser process manually, only then did it stop.
Works absolutely fantastically!
No more music icon which is useless for us non-chinese users, thankyou very much for this wxrjack and the rest of the Miren team (if there are anymore).
One little question though, will this be able to update from within the browser like the chinese version can when a new update comes out?
I would also be happy to add swedish to the available languages, I don't need it myself as I'm a native english speaking swede but others might apreciate it.

Couple things..
1. When you click on an address it doesn't ask if you want to launch in Google Maps like the stock browser. Instead it goes to a web based version of google maps.
2. On a site like ESPN mobile when I click to watch a video it just goes to a page that say you do not have permission to open this page. This is probably not a flash video since it's on the mobile site. Works fine in the stock browser. The stock browser opens it in the android video player.
3. Finally, any chance for adding an on demand setting for flash.
Thanks!
cool, this has been my default browser since I first downloaded it. glad to see an official english version.

Please test it out and give me any feedback.
A Pro version with more widget sizes will be released soon.
Great app and nice work. I'm moving this to Apps / Games.
Great App and very useful, tried it out on my Desire HD, couple of points the radio buttons are very small on the widget, I found myself pressing three or four times not knowing if i was successful. Because of this it seemed to have some lag before I got the message box saying please wait updating system.
Apart from that, sweet...
Quick question
Hi,
I use this, but not sure if using correctly.
I have set a custom setting, with language to English, but location to China, as that is where I am. My hope is that numbers/ address formats will be according to China standards, but display of programs will be in English. But, it really just seems to use American address fields (state, postal code, etc). Is this how it should work?
This looks very nice, i'll give it a whirl shortly.

Ahh sorry, I should have mentioned that those things that looks like buttons are not buttons. They're light indicators that turn green if the language is currently being used. The part that can be touched is the big square block with the language name.
The light indicators actually don't respond to touch at all. So pressing them an infinite amount of times shouldn't bring any response.
But thank you for the suggestion. I'll make those indicators respond to touch in a future update.

The app works as a duplicate of the Language settings in your Settings. If you change the language to English, everything will be English as if you had changed it in the settings.
From my understanding, the number and address formats are also tied into the Locale so to get the result that you want, you need to make sure your phone has English for a Chinese Country. I think Hong Kong uses English and the Chinese format. I believe you might need the Locale en-hk or read as English (Hong Kong).
My app is only used to switch between languages in a more convenient way, so its unable to provide you with the Locale you need if your device doesn't support it. I suggest taking a look at the app MoreLocale2 from C-LIS Crazy Lab.
Please update for Android 9-up, fiture change language and Time zone with one click. Thanks

[APP][2.3+] Obsqr 2.6 Beta

Have you ever been annoyed with extra options in a QR code reader when you just want it to scan QR and show the result? This was the reason why I started to develop my own light and clear QR reader - Obsqr.
Obsqr features in a nutshell:
can scan QR codes of the following types: URL, e-mail, geolocation, Android Market link, phone number, sms, contact information and plain text.
open-source ( find the sources here - https://bitbucket.org/trikita/obsqr )
is based on the zbar lib
ad-free
can be ran on x86 Android devices
English, Russian, Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, German and Turkish localization. If you can speak other languages and would like to help with the translation - let me know!
Obsqr on Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=trikita.obsqr
Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions on this app!
NEW It's been a while since we last updated this app. Now after a big refactoring a new update is coming. You will notice new almost-Material design and some other changes, and of course new bugs. So if you would like to become a beta-tester - please, join the Trikita community https://plus.google.com/communities/103557309699012391832 and follow this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/trikita.obsqr
After we ensure that v2.6 is stable enough - we will publish that one and will work on QRs with mixed content (e.g. text containing URLs or emails) making Obsqr better than ever!

Hey,
Installed and approved.
Very good app, congrats!
Why it stretch the camera?
Thanks for information!
On my device it's hard to notice. Suppose, a camera and screen ratio are very different on your device.
I think I should crop the photo image to fit a screen ratio in the future versions.
I've fixed ratio problem. Now it doesn't stretch camera preview (since release version 2.3).

Working great now, thanks for the fix
Thanks for this. It's nice to find an application that just does what it's meant to without lots of unneeded options.
Hey,
for me apps like QRDroid where bound to my search Button on my phone..
But your app does not show up on that App list wenn i hold the Search Button, could you add that feature
Nethertheless this is by far the best QR Code scanner i've been using I hate how all the others are bloated with features no one wants
It is a pleasant surprise to have an app that doesn't require a shopping list of permissions to perform a simple task.
I am a fan before I even finished the install.
Fantastic work, my friend! I get all happy inside when I come across simple minimalistic apps that can do what they're intended to do AND do it better than other bloated ones.
There has to be a way to implement this into the main main AOSP camera app. IMO functionality like that has been missing for quite some time. Maybe you can contact and work with whoever develops camera mods for the Cyanogen team? I dunno...

Hey, I've a phone with qHD screen and version 2.3 doesn't work for me.
I'll be glad to translate it to Dutch, and I'll try to do French too if it's not too hard and I have the time. Feel free to PM me a link to the files I need to translate. They can be XML or whatever you use, I can figure it out ^^
I can translate it to Portuguese.
Feel free to pm me.
hi!
here i am.
i can translate in italian for you...
my suggestions:
1. pop-up after scanning is always in landscape mode: please consider portrait mode also.
2. please integrate the app as "searching app" when long press the search soft-button
Very well done! Thanks for the os release! I will replace zxing in my app with your approach! very nice inspiration
Hi!
Thanks to everyone for your reviews and suggestions. That helped me to publish a new release version Obsqr 2.4 today.
I added Swedish, Dutch and Portuguese localization there. Thanks to guys who helped me with this!
In addition, I bound launching Obsqr to Search button.
Fix:
- autofocus issue
- links started with https are decoded properly
Hope you like the new version.

hi...
i can translate to german
and testing on desire S (different rom's)
Any plans to add WiFi key QR code support? Like Barcode scaner has, thats the only thing missing from the app & thats all thats keeping Barcode scanner installed on my phone. If you added this i don't think i would need any other barcode/QR scanner. So far the app is grate nice & fast clean & simple its just what i was looking for.
I could also translate into german and test it on Nexus S (4.0.4)

Ever wanted Motorola's Touchless Control on your device, but couldn't have it because you didn't own a Moto X? Vestige has been in development for a little over a year and aims to solve that problem. Oh, and it also uses gesture recognition as well. No root required!
App Description
Vestige is a new way of handling tasks in Android. While not a launcher replacement app, it can be used to launch any application and perform a variety of actions on your device. You can quickly perform any action by drawing a user-assigned gesture on the trace pad or by speaking a single word or phrase. Originally the app was designed to be a voice command only app, but we realized that many people generally do not talk to their phone. To solve this, Vestige evolved to include personalized gesture mapping giving you the ability to perform tasks you would normally do with your voice with just a flick of your finger.
Developed by Riley C. and Jeemin K.
Ways to multitask
Tracer - This is a floating button resembling Facebook's Chatheads and Paranoid Android's HALO))) which will expand to allow you to perform any gesture from anywhere on your device at all times while the screen is turned on.
Native voice recognition - Vestige's built-in voice recognition capabilities gives you the ability to command your phone from anywhere at all times even while the screen is off. It recognizes voice input from headsets with microphone access as well.
Features
Voice recognition
User-defined gesture recognition
Encrypted user data
In the works
Cloud storage
Additional custom command options
Suspended gesture control

For parents: text a code word to your child's mobile phone to find out where they are;
For senior citizens: If you’re lost in the forest, you can easily communicate your coordinates to the rescue services, even if you are out of mobile internet coverage;
For hikers, hunters and extreme sports lovers: in case of injury, your friends or family may quickly locate your phone and call the ambulance;
Even if you drop your mobile phone out in the wild, you can easily locate it!
★ It is free of charge and doesn't require an online login.
★ Three modes of operation:
- automatic reply with the coordinates to a code word text message;
- automatic texting of current coordinates on a regular interval (for instance, every hour);
- automatic texting of current coordinates to a trusted contact by pressing a hotkey.
★ It's easy: just enter your trusted contact number and a code word (such as "1234"). If your phone receives a message containing your code word ("1234"), the application will automatically reply to the sender with a text message containing your current coordinates.
★ It's safe: the two phones communicate directly via SMS, without going online, and avoiding services of third parties.
★ It's thrifty: the application saves your battery life. It runs in the background and activates when it's time to send a message with coordinates.
★ It's informative: a message contains phone's current coordinates, their accuracy (in meters), exact time of locating and the battery power.
★ Localized to two languages (Russian and English, depending on your phone's OS language)
☞ Note:
You will be charged for a standard text message according to your current mobile phone plan.
It is a new version. Please, do not hesitate to report bugs!
