I created an app that uses the facebook api that allows you to see the location of friends that are sharing there location with you.

Location sharing is fully controllable, you get to set when you location is being shared and which friends can see it.

None of my facebook friends have android phones, lames I know, but I need someone to help me test. I put the app on the market but I am not getting any feedback there.

So, I am looking for a volunteer that wouldn't mind having me as a facebook friend and would mind me temporaily seeing there location. You would also be able to see mine.

The app is named Longitude, it's on the market if you would like to check it out before hand.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] NuroSlam:
whats the name of the app?
[Android Software Development] pegisys:
The name was in the OP, but it's called Longitude. Here is the market link

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vitreousoft.android&feature=search_result

It looks like someone gave it 3 stars :D
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
No offense and I think you wrote a great app :)...but (here it comes LOL) looks like a "stalker" app to me.

I'm sure you mean no harm with your app, but my god, with the amount of information that is out there about any given person these days, do you need to know where I live? I think NOT! :)

Granted, I know my mom's name and can look it up online and even see a picture of the house I grew up in, but..where does it stop? Sorry to use this thread as a personal rant, but really, there is just too much info out there these days...maybe I'm getting old.

Again, I think your app is great from the screenshots I saw. I've yet to get into any mapping code myself. I just don't like the "Big Brother" aspect of it.
[Android Software Development] pegisys:
I took inspiration from Google Latitude, I liked Latitude but I use my email mostly for business and thought that an app like this would be more fitting with Facebook. There was no such app so I decided to make it.

I completely understand where you are coming from though, it is a somewhat scary app. When I first starting working on it I was just going to broadcast the location to all friends that used the app.

Then I thought about it and realized that I wouldn't want my location available to everyone all the time. So I made it so you can turn the service off.

Then I thought that I don't want everyone on my friends list being able to see where I am either so I made it so only selected friends can view your location. I also do not log any location information.

But, I think the benefits of such an app can outweigh the negatives, and if people are responsible about sharing their location then it shouldn't be able to be used as a stalker tool.

worked without the update for me. Look at the picture of the Moto site.
[Xoom General] socomdark:

[Xoom General] JOHNGAETANO:

[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Confirmed and working!
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
wait what how??

I assume this isn't official.

lol @ iPad.
[Xoom General] almostinsane:
lol @ you guys wanting to watch flash ads.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Seriosusly though... Flash is running soooo smoothly from my first impressions. :D

Hulu blocked Android's Flash a loooooong time ago. The only way to fix this is to mod the Flash apk file to make it seem your using Windows.

I don't know how to do this myself, but a guy on the Nexus One forums has been doing this for a while: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=688054
[Xoom General] Arun01:
How do you guys get it to work..i drag & dropped to the root of my Xoom without the update & i can load the motorola site it says to upgrade flash..what did i do wrong?
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Nah, man: fox.com/familyguy! :)

(BTW, "Plugins On Demand" FTW!)
[Xoom General] skyyaa:
Its an apk, you need to run it and install it.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
I have the download, now how do I install it, luv ya guys
[Xoom General] richardjr:
What I downloaded is a zip,when I looked inside I did not see an .apk
[Xoom General] richardjr:
OK, rename .zip to. .apk and it works, ha figured it out on my own, take that apple geeks.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Just download and install from your Xoom.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Download was a .zip not a .apk
[Xoom General] Blades:
Hahah wow. You guys are so pumped you forgot to post it here so we don't have to jump thru hoops.. then again, this is the first thread I've read so there may be x amount of reposts containing the file

And of course.

Taken from the other thread.
[Xoom General] slshults:
Thank you, thank you.

Now, where can I download GetTheKidsInBedEarly.apk so I can't put put the flash on the xoom and proceed with surfing the whole danged web?

(and as for flash ads, adfree blocks most of them. or i could install firefox mobile and use adblock if I hadn't already rooted. It's just the kind of choices you get when you actually own a device, rather than just renting one from Apple.)
[Xoom General] Arun01:
This still didnt work for me when downloading from my xoom....argh..maybe i need that freaking update
[Xoom General] slshults:
Or you could just do it the easy way:

- Load Dolphin HD (free version will do fine)

- Run it

- Bring up the Dolphin HD settings menu

- Tap "More"

- Tap "Settings"

- Tap "User agent"

- Tap "Desktop"

- Tap device's 'back' button to return to browser

- Navigate to Hulu.com

- Tap the downward pointing green arrow icon that indicates Flash content is available (you can change your Dolphin settings to play Flash on page load to skip this last step.)

- Enjoy your show
[Xoom General] JaxDomino:
Tested and works.
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
FTFY

edit: zipaligned apk
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
That doesn't work.

This guy fixed it.

I haven't tried that Dolphin thing in a while, but it definitely isn't supposed to work.

Edit: Yea, on my Nexus that Dolphin trick doesn't work.
[Xoom General] pamaguin:
I've installed the apk and it does not work. I'll wait till the OTA update
[Xoom General] richardjr:
OK, so I opened up the app, set it to desktop, and yet did not see a green arrow, nor do I see a setting to download flash on page load.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Ftfy download will not install

Edit: It will install if you uninstall the other flash app, checking to see if it works.

Edit2: OK the other install would do nothing with hulu, this install would play the audio, but no video, trying restart.

Edit3: OK after restart with just FTFY hulu asked for flash install so I'd say both are somewhat bogus at this time (hey I gave it a chance, both Fox news and hulu failed), good try guys, let me know if I effed up, which is highly probable.
[Xoom General] slshults:
Sorry, it must be part of CM7 RC2 then. I'm a dumbass, I haven't actually tried it on my xoom yet. will go do now...
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
I do not have the OTA update yet and when I try to browse to motorola.com after installing FTFY apk I still get told to install flash.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
yep i get the same thing..downloading the apk from my xoom too
[Xoom General] copualt3:
Thanks, flash is working with no update.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Did you try Hulu?
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Hulu works with the modified version posted on the previous page if you set the browser to desktop in the about:debug settigns, however, it's very choppy.

This is obviously because this version isn't official, so there is no hardware acceleration.
[Xoom General] ahmadddd:
I do confirm it works smoothly on my Xoom, also tried youtube website and it plays videos smoothly at 420P which is more than enough for me. 720P videos are laggy. But remember I have not received the enhancement update yet and the flash is not official yet.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Tried it after restart with the desktop settings, the regular browser still asks for an update.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
I'm trying to change the video quality settings on youtube and it doesn't like the touch screen. If I hold the button, it just hangs and turns red, and if I click it and release, the menu comes up for a split second and disappears.
[Xoom General] mdiggty:
Woks with the update. Not rooted....yet
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
working fine here and I have the update but all the flash content is fuzy like its rendering at aa lower Res. Anybody else?
[Xoom General] BBalz:
modified version doesn't work for me. Installed and hulu says I need flash as well as the moto xoom site too.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
I get to the first screen on hulu and flash seems to work but no matter what browser I try I can't get video.
[Xoom General] slshults:
Ok, sorry, kids are in bed now.

this is on my rooted/unlocked zoom, i have not installed the OTA, I have installed the flash the OP linked to and these steps work for me to see what you see below:

- Load Dolphin HD (i'm running 4.5 beta on my xoom, stable release on my N1) (free version will do fine)

- Run it

- Bring up the Dolphin HD settings menu

- Tap "More"

- Tap "Settings"

- Tap "User agent"

- Tap "Desktop"

- Tap device's 'back' button to return to browser

- Navigate to Hulu.com

- Tap the downward pointing green arrow icon that indicates Flash content is available (you can change your Dolphin settings to play Flash on page load to skip this last step.)

- Enjoy your show

both on my xoom and on my N1 (CM7 RC2):

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[Xoom General] richardjr:
OK so I tried to download both, was successful, and installed both, with and without reboot on 3 different browsers, normal browser with and without about:debug set for desktop, dolphin with and without desktop, and sky fire with and without desktop. I must reiterate that I reset every time with both potential fixes, and none, none, would play a hulu video, and every time I tried a YouTube video it would play in the app (I could not force a browser play). I had some success with other flash video sources (I could get the initial load of hulu, but when a video was selected to would say my browser was not supported, and yes I made sure desktop was selected, CR@p I even task closed it to make sure it was on desktop from the start) and other sample flash video's would play, but others would not, including YouTube hulu and foxnews.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
How did you do it, I have tried both updates, rebooted, set desktop AND CAN'T GET IT TO WORK, I'm not normally this stupid, but hey.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Hulu blocks it server side. I to can see what he screenshot, but try to actually play it. You have to run a hacked flash, because again server side it pulls the file version as android and blocks you.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
In the same boat. The win version won't load any flash for me, the original one will load flash but not hulu. Haven't tried a browser other than stock.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
I tried both hacks and still can't do it, what gives, am I just being screwed with?
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Its supposed to be a hacked version of flash.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Again I have tried both versions with 3 different browsers set to desktop and Android, but can't get it to work, and I cannot count the number of resets I have been through.

Frustrating as f^¢k.
[Xoom General] BBalz:
so I installed flash before ota and just got the notification... ran the ota and had to reinstall flash in the op...

Yeah wow, big difference in flash performance now. Much smoother... watchig the daily show on comedy centrals website and very pleased. I wouldn't doubt that this is how it'll run when they release it friday.
[Xoom General] slshults:
update: correct, I now see that I can't actually play the videos, they are blocked by hulu without the hacked flash. in stock browser i get the notice telling me so, in dolphin i just get a black section of the page after clicking 'watch.'

In other news, I just got notified of the OTA even though I don't have a verizon account (i'm in airplane mode actually) and I have *not* relocked my rooted xoom.

i'm sitting here wondering if motorola decided to start sending the ota to rooted/relocked xooms or if something in the flash apk triggered the servers to send the update even though I'm rooted and unlocked.
[Xoom General] BBalz:
It works on rooted devices. It will remove the root but stay unlocked. Others confirmed this earlier.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Ya, friggin jerk, lol, I can't get either to work, bastage. I hate myself.
[Xoom General] copualt3:
X2, hulu stays black and does not load.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] slshults:
same here. looks great in stock browser but no sound (haven't rebooted since reinstalling flash though) looks great (full screen) with sound in dolphin
[Xoom General] slshults:
sorry for the redundancy, missed it.
[Xoom General] aohus:
flash is running smooth, even on this leaked version of 10.2

now, how much of a hit will it take on battery life, that remains to be seen. so far it doesn't seem so bad.
[Xoom General] slshults:
compare it to the battery life on your ipad run when running flas... oh, wait.

;)
[Xoom General] aohus:
flash can be run on the iPad using skyfire, albeit not at the same level as running legit flash.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Well I got the ota update then installed flash 10.2 but I go to ABC.com & it says I need the latest version of flash...what gives
[Xoom General] virgil1528:
2 Quick Questions:

1) Is there any reason to believe that the Flash 10.2 you all are using is any different than the one that will be available this Friday or why I should wait?

2) Probably really dumb, but why do I really care about Flash support on this when it seems like the main things I would want, such as Hulu, won't even work? Is it going to have any really effect on my Xoom besides being able to see ads? From what I have seen on here, ESPN doesn't work, Netflix uses a different software, so....why do I care?
[Xoom General] lexian:
Got IT WOOT!

got my OTA update a few minutes ago, (WIFI Only BTW, I have no dataplan with VZW) and installed this APK,

it wasnt downloading directly on my XOOM (kept coming up with a 37k zip file) so downloaded the 4.24meg file on my pc and copied it, flash videos working excellent on multiple sites,
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
Sorry, I had to post on the way out the door. The apk I posted was just the same as the OP but with the version string changed to not report android. It worked fine for me at the time, but I've since upgraded to 3.0.1 and hulu no longer works for me. I'll look into it more in the morning.

edit: figured it out. Seems to only work if installed after the official apk. Even then it only works until you reboot. Not sure what the issue is. Might be related to the signing key. If you have root, you should be able to just replace the libflashplayer.so file and it should work properly, but I'm not rooted so I can't test.

It runs like **** anyway.
[Xoom General] aohus:
im thinking that the one that will be released march 18 will be a different version.

i'd also recommend unlocking and unrooting your phone to remove ads if you want, but theres a lot of websites that use flash. i mean, just now i was able to watch video game trailers, watch al-jazeera, catch up on some new movie trailers, and watch live sporting events. all rely on flash. its a richer web experience.
[Xoom General] mroach52:
Thanks for this, happy to see I can use amazon on demand videos.... now if they would get some better prime movies that would be great.
[Xoom General] bc14nj:
Yes, same exact thing. Works great in regular browser, really looks good. Nada in Dolphin, just blank.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
I'm sure the official version that comes out on the 18th will be more compatible.Finally got my flash to work by doing a restart twice.
[Xoom General] ilogik:
Why is the flash content all pixelated?
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
This is what I posted too. I hope this is just because its beta and will be fixed by the 18th. Either way I'd rather have pixelated flash than none at all.
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
If you are getting a parsing error and you are downloading directly to the Xoom, try downloading to your PC and move to the Xoom before installing. I had the parsing error and this fixed my problem.

Installed: confirmed working on non-rooted Xoom with OTA update.
[Xoom General] ilogik:
My speedtest > your speedtest ;)
[Xoom General] mroach52:
I agree, for now a little pixilation is better than no flash at all.
[Xoom General] f1restarter:
I just downloaded the apk but it doesn't install on the stock browser.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Nice 'shop

Video Overview of Flash

Confirm works without OTA and works without root.

I did a video overviewing the flash content for anyone who does not want to install or doesn't have a Xoom. Please note that there is pauses in my overview that some believe are due to the flash, I originally when making this video thought it was my WiFi bandwidth, which relatively can't keep up for videos even on my Mac Pro :(

Hi!

I am quite a noob at Android, so it had to happen.:eek:

I got new Viewpad 10s from Viewsonic. I have had a Galaxy S before, so i was suprised that market was so "empty" on my new device.

I went on internet and asked google. It lead me here.

I read the text I do some steps. Because i was trying to install TnT lite 5.0.0, I first had to install Stock update.zip; 3588. I downloaded it from refered link and transfered it on sd card which i had inserted in Viewpad 10s later.

I went to setting -> software tools -> update firmware (or something like that) and picked the file that I downloaded before. It started updating and then when the bar was filled It shutted down. Now when I try to turn it on, the screen just get little brighter and then it blanks (shut down).

I am in dead end. I do not know what to do to make it work again.:confused::confused:

Any help would be great.

I hope you understanded my english.:)
