Where am I ?


Hi there ,

The day when i took interest in mobile programming, i had no idea that this could one day become my most interesting hobby. It was on 24th march when i built my first successful android app for my sweet niece who was coming to my home for holi.

That app consisted of random pictures of animals which when the user clicked changed the image with a background sound of that animal in the image. Building that application was an easy task than what i was going to build next.

The next idea which was floating in my mind after the completion of my first app was to build an application which would catch the location of the mobile user and that the user can text his/her location to a friend.
This whole idea looked impossible until i came across some useful resource which helped me a lot to build this app.

It took about 3 days to build this app. Here i present some snapshots of my Where am I? android application.


This is the first screen shot. First successful testing  for text message was done
by entering any number to Texting.PhoneNumber() method.

This modification was done keeping in mind that only one number
cannot be embedded  for texting, so i introduced a textbox wherein
the user will enter the number.




This is the final and complete view of Where am I? application.





Now as soon as the user clicks the send button, a text message containing the current address will be sent to the phone number entered in the text box.
Download links of my app will be soon published here once i register myself to a free file hosting site. 
But if you want to download now then you can email me your request on my gmail id-- sauravsuman007@gmail.com. I'll reply you back with a link to download this app.
The next in line is the "Quiz Master" which i hope would revolutionize the way current quiz apps are.

Love,
