- Thread starter _LEM_
- Start date
New version available!
1.1.0
New: App can now run as a foreground service when tracking. This will reduce the changes for the OS to kill it in low memory conditions.
New: Automatic export.
New: Connection timeout is now customizable.
Available on the marketplace.

I've tested it, running 24 hours without being killed
set to 10 seconds. The log says I need 3-7 Seconds for uploading.
I would like an option for saving raw NMEA data.

New version is working perfect for me, been up and running non stop since you posted that test version.
Would it be possible to have an 'Off' setting for the minimum distance, most of the time it's good that it only sends when you have moved, but there are occasions when I could do with it sending regardless so people can see it's a current live position rather than one and few hours old and wondering if I'm still there or is the tracker off.
As I use mine as a live tracker rather than a trip reporter the program is often up for weeks at a time and the trips get massive. An option to start a new trip after a certain amount of time or number of points would be good
Thanks

That's great. Thanks for the feedback.
I will add an option for exporting to NMEA. However I have to check this. I'm not sure if the location services provide this.
It makes sense the problem is this will cause to have tons of pushpins in the same location. Maybe I could have a way of updating the latest position with a new date if the distance is very small.
I thought about that too. I will add it to the to-do list.
Thanks!
By the way, last weekend I was working on SMS tracking. It looks very nice so far!
Basically you just need to send a txt message from any phone with the text !!start and !!stop to track.
Another good thing is you don't need to have TrackMe running for this to work.
I'm still testing it. I will release it later this week.

New version available: SMS tracking. Use text messages to start and stop tracking from any phones!
Crap, and blocks it from Wifi-only tablets. I really hate the way the market does filtering based on capabilities. The new SMS permission in the manifest did this. Not sure how to get around it, except SMS being a separate app that plugs into TrackMe.
no way...really? I didn't know that.
What about if you install the APK manually? Would that work?
Doesn't work for me, but then it never has with other programs that have tried to do the same thing. (I use GoSMS which I presume is what's interfering with it)
Would be a nice feature to have but the current release is rock solid, been on for 10 days now and still working fine so I'm happy

When I setup the sms receiver I need to assign a priority (a number) with it.
Maybe GoSMS has a higher number and got the message first. I can try to increase that number and give you that version to test. Would you like to try that?
Yeah sideloading is fine, at least in cases like this. Only time I've seen it be a problem is say a device does not have a GPS and the app tries to access the GPS (crash), same with Camera. But SMS I'd think it's just listening for intents?
I can check this later to make sure it's still functional. But yeah, wanted to let you know that the market does some filtering in that regard, and not sure if there's anything (besides taking something out of the manifest) that can be done on the developers end.
For SMS I basically register a broadcast receiver. As you said if I remove the entry from the manifest will probably show up there....damn it...I don't really want to have different versions depending on the device. I wish there was another way.

By the way, I will install GoSMS to test this. I hope I can find a way to make TrackMe faster than GoSMS to catch the text messages
I just found this:
TrackMe's is set to 1000 (the maximum recommended value)
Even if I set it to 2147483647 it will not work unless you install TrackMe first.
I read many people complaining about GoSMS' invasive strategy for this matter.
One thing I can do is to check if there are other apps running in the system listening for sms messages with a higher priority than TrackMe and warn the user about that.

I just tried to change TrackMe's priority to 2147483647. Then I installed GoSMS.
I got the message with both applications. So it seems it's not really which one was installed first. It's a matter of priority.
The next version will have the priority set to 2147483647. I will also notify the user when they enable tracking if there are other apps that could interfere.

HISTORY
TrackMe is the conversion of the popular tool written originally for Windows Mobile 5 and 6. This version for Android has widely extended the WM version and includes tons of new features. You can find the original thread for TrackMe for WM here
WHAT IS TRACKME?
TrackMe is a GPS/WiFi/Cell ID tracker. It records your path, speed, altitude, distance, temperature and other parameters. It can also be started remotely using text messages from any other phone.
You can view your data (live or recorded) from your phone or also from any browser if you sync it with a TrackMe server.
Features
* Works with no internet connection. All your data is stored on your phone unless that you decide to sync it with a TrackMe server.
* Stealth mode: Start/stop recording or send your position by sms by sending text messages from other phones without having TrackMe installed.
* Add markers with pictures, comments, file attachments or voice notes to your routes.
* Automatic image matching. You can match existing photos stored on your phone with any of your routes. TrackMe will try to find the closest match by using the tags stored inside the photos.
* Detailed route summary.
* Load any GPX files on the map and follow them!
* Show nearby markers. Check on the map for nearby markers that you have added previously in other routes. Very useful if you are trying to go back to a place that you have visited before.
* Cloud sharing. Share public or privately your position on the map. You can use this to meet with a person, if you both got lost from each other, if you want to see where the person is if it went on a trip...
This feature can be also started and stopped from any other phone using text messages.
* Export and import routes using KML or GPX files.
* Share your position on WhatsApp, sms, email, twitter...
* Highly customizable.
* Use our own server free of charge or your own!
* And much more!

SYNCING YOUR DATA WITH A TRACKME SERVER (you only need the app on your phone)
Let's suppose your wife wants to track your location in real-time.
On your phone: Enable "Sync my positions" in Settings->TrackMe Server Settings->Sync my positions. You also need to enter a username and password.
Now your wife can go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme from a browser, enter that username and password and enable "Live Tracking On/Off" to see your current position. You need to start recording on the TrackMe app for all this to work.
Keep in mind that Cloud Sharing is less accurate. Syncing with a TrackMe server will allow you as much accuracy as you need, by adjusting the GPS, WiFi, QuickFix, Minimum Accuracy/Distance/Time values in the settings.74hey guys,
I'm back to development! I just uploaded a new version where I have added the initial logic to let users remove ads.
It's not available yet, it will in the next version.
Once I have that done, I will add the option to upload images which has been on my to-do list for a long time.
I also want to create a very light version of TrackMe for tracking phones. I get several emails every week about that asking
how to do it.
Glad to be finally back. I'm a little rusty developing on Android, but hopefully it'll be just a matter of time! :angel:4new web viewer
Hi!
I tried posting this in web development thread, but I don't have 10 posts
When I earn some points I may repost it there, where it belongs
I wrote a web viewer for TrackMe data. It is a complete rewrite of the original viewer. The only thing that is left of old viewer is interface look and feel.
It uses Google Maps API v3 but I plan to implement also an OpenStreetMap alternative.
My viewer is based on ajax, so everything works dynamically without page reloading.
I use TrackMe on Android, so I implemented only the functions present in this version. There is no support for photos or comments. I will surely add those features when they become present on Android
On the other hand I added altitudes graph. I thought about adding other graphs (like speed) and statistics but gps data I get with the Android app often miss info like speed, angle etc. (why?)
The code is GPL, so everybody can contribute or reuse it. If you make changes to it please contribute your patches back
The code is available at github:
https://github.com/bfabiszewski/phpTrackme
