Question

Currently i working on an Android based mobile application.
It will be integrated to an ERP system for users that needs travel a lot and want to calculate his travel time, etc to payoff.

I thing that it will be a good feature if my app can get a notify (let’s say a Serice componenet) when the user is arrived to a location.
So let’s say that user is using Google Maps’ navigation system. I would like to notify that user is arrived so my app can do some administration work automatically.
I know how can i query my current location but don’t know how can i notify about what user typed to the navigation system for his destination. I don’t want to force him to type it to my program.

So is it possible to get some information in my app?

Thanks and sorry for my bad English!

Answer 1

I don’t think you will be able to get the original navigation query from the Navigation application.

That is a custom application running on the device, and that app would have to make this info available to the rest of the system (which I doubt they allow). I don’t think the navigation app supplies the information that the user has arrived at their location either.

Bottom line, I don’t think you can get information of any kind from the Google Navigation application, as they don’t make this available.
