Hi all,
Firstly I'm sorry for posting a question here for what might seemingly be a simple task, however despite googling and researching for about 2 weeks I'm no closer to my goal.
I'm building a car dash using a nexus 7, and using kustom live wallpaper to create a unique frontend. Everything is going well however I am struggling with one thing...
I want to keep GPS on (no problem) which constantly grabs my location (no problem). I then want to set my location to a variable which is then pushed via tasker to KLWP (again, no problem!). My problem is that it outputs the WHOLE address. This is a problem. I've managed to get it down to displaying just the house number and the street name, however I want JUST the street name, eg King Street or Queens Avenue.
The idea is that while I'm driving along the road name is automatically displayed.
How on earth can I do this? My knowledge of tasker and variables is very limited and I've only been able to get this far by messing about with various settings but doing this for 2 weeks and not getting any closer is beyond frustrating. I know what I'm trying to achieve is not impossible which frustrates me more.
Guys and girls, I'm extremely grateful for any help or guidance.
Lastly, sorry for the whole 'new account 1 post which is a question' vibe. I've been coming here for years with a different account but I couldn't remember the password, and password reset returned a 404 page :/
Thanks again
Antony

Hey
I've recently started a job at a university where i often need to install software on large rooms of PC's but because of the busy nature of the university, i often have to leave while lessons are taking place and return later to continue the installations
I was wondering if anybody knew of a seating plan app that i could use to help me keep track of which PC's ive updated and which i haven't.
I just need something where i can set up a temporary plan or even just a grid and then mark certain positions so i can keep track of what ive done
i know this is quite a lot to ask but any help would be greatly appreciated
Hello everyone,
I have been developing an application that registers several prices, such as combustible, food costs etc...
Now I was asked in the intercourse to create an app that the admin connects to a certain database AND another one that makes his phone, the admin, that can see what his employees have made in the first application I made.
I honestly have no idea what to do, I'm almost panicking cause the boss of this company I'm working now, as my internship demands and screams alot. I can't find anything useful in the internet so I thought if someone that knows this can help me, please? I depend on you lool..
Thanks!
Hello there! This is the first time I write in the forum, but I've been following it since 2 years by now (or even more, actually!). I'm "relatively" new, so I hope I'm writing in the right section.
I'm working hard to be a developer and recently I've been contacted by private people to make a new gps app. I've never worked with these kind of stuff, so grabbing gps signals, transform it to show on a map your postition etc. I'm a complitely noob on this side. So, I would ask to whom is more experienced than me some informations about how to handle these stuff, if there's some guide that shows how gps services (on Android, of course) works to catch the signal and send the informations to the app and so on, some good article and stuff like this.
Thanks for the eventual help .
Long story short, someone came into our home while we were there and took many electronics.
One of them was the Galaxy Note II (ATT) and I see the device is still active and I believe it still accessing the google play store or syncing to my gmail account based on recent activity I can see from my gmail account.
How can I track the location from where this is happening? The police ares supposedly going after them after we found other clues but if I can get a location from where the device was being used, that would be a dealbreaker.
I have / had my gmail account setup and I see last time it synced. I'm not a pro at this but asking for help from some bright minds here. Can anyone help me out?
The more evidence I have for law enforcement, they won't be able to deny who I already know it is. I am looking for more proof to back up my accusation / discovery.
EDIT : Maybe this right place to ask this question or right forum or maybe I'm just out of luck and need to move on. Sorry if stepped over any boundaries with this post.
Hello everyone,
I didn't ever code anything, but I feel now it's my time to do so. I have one idea, and it's based about interactive map app. My plan is to do map of my city, and to offer any company, object, etc. their location in that map. My city is largely visited by tourists around the world, and I think everyone who owns business would be interesed to find their spot on that map (I wouldn't ask them for big payment). So, as I am rookie in coding, can you recommend me how to start. What map should I use (I need one that I can change and adjust as I wish), how much time I'll need.
If anyone here had to deal with something like this, any suggestion, tip and help would be welcomed.
Regards,
Adin
