Sound like a good idea. Some quick thoughts on the API:
In the org.openmoko.Diversity.World interface, two new methods are
implemented:
TrackAdd(void) -> objpath
TrackRemove(objpath) -> void
These functions add/remove a new diversity object, DiversityTrack, in
the world, which in turn implements org.openmoko.Diversity.Track
interface:
(signal)PointAdded -> int, double, double
(signal)PointRemoved -> int
AddPoint(int, double, double) -> void
PrependPoint(double, double) -> void
AppendPoint(double, double) -> void
GetPoint(int) -> double, double
ListPoints(void) -> array of double, double
AttachData(int, variant) -> void
GetData(int) -> variant
Track(objpath) -> void
Points are an array of (longitude, latitude). They are accessed by
their indices in the array. What is interesting in this interface is
the Track method and the two signals. The Track method takes an objpath
as its argument and asks DiversityTrack to monitor the object accociated
with the objpath. By monitoring Self (current location), DiversityTrack
would start recording the locations and the recorded locations will be
sent to those who interest.
This is basically the needed methods for recording tracks and showing
them in Locations. I would like to take a further look at it :)
