mobile

mobile [micro-logger] is an android application for continuous logging of location coordinates, designed to record hiking, biking tracks and other outdoor activities. Application works in background. Track points are saved at chosen intervals and may be uploaded to dedicated server in real time. This client works with mobile web server. Together they make a complete self owned and controlled client–server solution.

Help

• mobile's current status is shown by two leds, one for location tracking and one for web synchronization:

led	tracking	synchronization
	on, recently updated	synchronized
	on, long time since last update	synchronization delay
	off	synchronization error

• clicking on current track's name will show track statistics

Automating

• mobile may accept commands from other applications for starting or stopping its operations. To make it work you must explicitly enable this functionality in app settings ("Allow external commands" switch).
• commands are sent as broadcasts with following intent parameters:
  • target package: de.arikgrahl.mobile
  • target class: de.arikgrahl.mobile.ExternalCommandReceiver
  • action: de.arikgrahl.mobile.intent.action.COMMAND
  • extra: "command": [command name], where command name is one of:
    • "start logger" for starting position logging
    • "start new logger" for creating a New Track and starting position logging to it
    • "stop logger" for stopping position logging
    • "start upload" for starting track data upload to server (in case live tracking is off)
• third party examples:
  • Automate (LlamaLab) – Send broadcast block with Package, Receiver Class and Action fields as above and Extras field eg. {"command": "start logger"}
  • Tasker (joaomgcd) – System → Send intent. Fields Action, Package, Class as above and Extra field eg. command:start logger
• command line: am broadcast -a de.arikgrahl.mobile.intent.action.COMMAND -e "command" "start logger" de.arikgrahl.mobile de.arikgrahl.mobile.ExternalCommandReceiver
