Co-Ordinates Application

Hi All,
Thought i'd ask for help instead of just replying
I have a casio FX-795P personal computer (showing my age here.....) and of course this machine uses BASIC (those were the days.. haha). I have written a couple of short programs that help me in my day job to work out co-ordinates, bearings & distances (im a site engineer). Whilst the casio does a great job of this, i would like a programme on my Touch Cruise to save having to carry two devices round.
Does anyone know of a a free app that does this? Or could someone write one? I can pm anyone with the BASIC programme to help and of course i will test & donate
Many thanks to XDA!!

How exactly do you calculate the distances? i might be able to send you a link to something of that sort..
but please explain EXACTLY what you need

Hi nir36
Thanks for the reply and excuse me for not explaining myself in too much detail at the start. The app can work both ways:
1/ It is possible to work out co-ords for unknown point B, from known A co-ords and the known bearing and distance using a simple equation.
2/ and obviously working out the unknown bearing and distance from known co-ords from point a & b.
ideally the app should also have a section for simple pythag; a2+b2=c2.
The app would have an initial screen with 3 choices:
1. New Co-ords (as 1/ above)
2. Distance & Bearing (as 2/ above)
3. Pythag
Hitting any of 1,2 or 3 above would then take you to a seperate screen where you would input the known data to which the result is then given.
If you are interested I will add the BASIC programs to this thread for your interpratation. I would be very interested in how to get started for writing simple apps for WM devices, as i have many ideas..... Dummies guide
Thanks for your interest.

unfortunatly i'm not a developer.. but i do implement PDA packs for facilities..
i'm not familiar with anything that does that.
that is, of course you can compute distances between 2 sets of coords using a simple GPS app like iGO.. but i realize that's not the point.
there's an app called GPSToday which can get 2 sets of coords on a virtual map and tell you the distance between them.. but i'm not sure if it requires a GPS or not.. you can check it out, it's free.
concerning pythag.. i haven't the slightest clue if there's something out there that does that.
i have one suggestion tho, if you're willing to pay for such an app considering it doesn't require much coding (as i see it),
open a new thread in the Development & Hacking offering a sum of money for developers to develop this app for you.
there are many developers here and i'm sure some of them are looking for cash
cheers.

Nir36,
Thanks for the advice, i will post a thread there. My idea would not need the use of GPS as the results are from simple set equations that just need a couple of variables inputted to get the result.
Yes you are correct in saying the coding would not be involved as i have written it in basic and it would just need a little development to bring it on.
Cheers Nir36.

[APP REQ] Timesheet elite!

Hi, I am putting forward to you all a request for devs to help develop an app which I think would be very helpful for me and many others. I have no coding experience, I am willing to learn but I would much rather stick to my skillset being graphics and design.
The app will be very simple. Press to check in and press to check out. It will be used for recording hours at work. When I arrive, I press the check in button, when I leave, I press check out. I can then, possibly, enter a small note.. and then easily check my hours in a table on another panorama for the week - and of course proceed to fill out my timesheet!
Devs! Help get this app together! I will happily do whatever needs to be done on my side, but when it comes to coding I would not know where to start.
I will mock up a template shortly.
Thanks in advance!

[4.0+][Free] TimeJot for Android

TimeJot for Android is an app which calculates the time since an event so that you can easily find out how much time it has been since you did something. (Eg. How long has it been since you changed your car oil, bought your laptop (is it under a year of warranty), etc. TimeJot does the math and avoids the guesswork, or sccrolling through the calendar.
It's free and there are no in app purchases or a premium version.
Google play url = play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rvg.timejot
Any comments or feedback are appreciated.

Hey, neat as heck! I can already see usefulness from this.
Thanks :good:

gd and does what it say
If you can add option similar to reminder when a certain date/time reached for event will be great
like for oil change
when 6 months are completed show a notification

@ashishshevale Thanks. I have in mind to add more options to the app (including reminders), provided that I get more downloads (so that its worth to put in the effort, since I do the development during my spare time )
Again, if you like it, please leave a review in the Google Play. That will help the future visitors.

In the past few weeks, I've updated the app to fix a lot of bugs, added support for more countries other than US (US, Canada, Australia, and India!), and made buttons prettier! Also I don't really know how to change the post title to reflect the version number - does anybody know how?
Thanks!

[APP][4.4+] Gestitime: Countdown timer

Hello everyone,
I want to share with all of you my first Android application with is published in Google Play.
Here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssb.gestitime
This is a simple but advance tool to schedule your time. It can help you to your studies, workouts in the gym, Kitchen, control your breaks/lunch/time in your work, and so forth.
The project started when I had to study for an important oral exam where I have a limited time. In this sort of oral exam, I really think it is not a smart way staring continuously at your watch. I wanted a simple and easy way to be able to control my remaining time. It would have to let me think and speak about whatever I had to speak about. It could be very useful to schedule my time in my phone.
One possibility could be to look for an App that let me configure the total time and some intermediate notifications to help me know how long I had been talking.
Then, in silent mode, I could get in my pocket and it could vibrate according with times I have previously configured. This way no body knows about it and only me could know about time and notifications/vibrations...
I didn't found any app that let me solve this problem and I thought it could be very useful for students and professionals, so after the exam, I started to develop gestitime!!!
This is my first Android App and I am trying to learn every day.
During the development, improvements, new ideas and useful functionalities come to my mind, so I am trying to do my best to get a good, easy-to-use and useful application updating continuously
I will also enjoy your feedback and comments.
In my opinion, user interface has a long way to improve, so I would really like tips and help!
I am also looking for volunteers to translate it in more languages, so any help would be welcome!!
Thanks!!!
PS: I want to apology for not having linked the App before.

I had forgot to tell that the App has an Apache 2.0 licence: Here is the link to Bitbucket if you want to contribute or, maybe, some novel developer wants to look at the code in order to learn something (have in mind that I am also a novel developer ):

Thanks

Hi again,
Tonight gestitime was update. I added an interesting features I think few similar apps have.
I've included custom expandable notification. You also can manage countdown from it. Even when the device is locked.
I hope someone enjoy and some feedback in this forum
Thanks

Hi again!
Yesterday I reach 100 downloads! you may think those are very few downloads but it has been a long way since I started to learn JAVA and Android by myself, three years ago. Challenging hard work that makes me feel proud!
To celebrate it I have just made a major update with a new design in the main screen much more close to Material Design paradigm.
I hope you like and someone could write some comment. These things make me feel motivated to go on! I am looking forward to hearing from all of you...
I also want to say thanks to al translator volunteers! German, Brazilian and Russian has been translated by xda members: noc.jfcbs, brenosnt and DumF0rGaming! Thanks mates!
If you want to help to translate to any language or maybe you need some translation volunteers, then you can miss this awesome thread;
