Question

I have created an application which will get you your location and someone elses location. When the app is present on both the phones then only they can track other people. I have created a server using WAMP. How do i connect the server and this application which i made. Would like to add a features to it:-
1. I want to send the co-ordinates of gps to a server. And also update the locations.
2.On the server side I also want to show who all are using it and their co-ordinates too. Please help me with the code..

Answer 1

Simple way

use HttpConnection to your server and put location co-ordinates with device id in post data. and send this data to your server. device id will identify the user who is using the application. in post data you can use JSON or XML to put your values whatever you want as device id, location co-ordinates and more whatever you want.

edited part coding part you can achieve as following

//get device id as following
    TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
            String deviceid = telephonyManager.getDeviceId();



                //this is JSON part to put your information inside it
                String postData = "{\"request\":{\"type\":\"locationinfo\"},\"userinfo\":{\"latitude\":\""+latitude+"\",\"longitude\":\""+longitude+"\",\"deviceid\":\""+deviceid+"\"}}";


                HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();

                // Post method to send data to server
                HttpPost post = new HttpPost();


                post.setURI(new URI("http://myserver.com/myphppage.php"));

                // set your post data inside post method    
                post.setEntity(new StringEntity(postData));

                // execute post request here 
                HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(post);
