[OSM-talk] About the GSOC Project - OSM Application for Android -Need Some Help
Hi all, I have found that you have given a new potential android application which can be used as our source of project. That is https://github.com/CUTR-at-USF/OpenTripPlanner-for-Android/wiki. The first major application you have given for this project was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cyclestreets. I have cloned the git repository of both of these projects and analyze the both projects. According to my understanding the OpenTripPlanner for Android is look professional than the Cycle street map. Please correct me if I am wrong. So what do you prefer as the best application? Also the project I have done in my uni (Travel Ceylon - Trip Planner for Sri Lanka - http://insightforfuture.blogspot.com/2012/01/travel-ceylon-travel-palnner-for-sri.html) looks similar to the OpenTripPlanner for Android. So I have some new features which can strength that more and more. Also when I run the OpenTripPlanner for Android app a error raises at the LogCat saying, 03-23 21:12:40.535: E/OTP(358): No route to display! What will be the problem ? Please help me to proceed further.

Dear Sir, I have connected the devlpers for the OpenTripPlanner. I am curentley discussing about my problems with them sir. Thank You This is the Conversation I had up to now.

As I told early, I am trying to add some functionality to Open Trip Planner as my GSOC project under OpenStreetMaps. Also I have done Android project at my university, which is similar to the OpenTripPlanner. I have used Google Maps for that app. It is mainly based on Sri Lanka and It is called Travel Ceylon.http://insightforfuture.blogspot.com/2012/01/travel-ceylon-inteligent-travel-planner.html I have added following functionality to my app, User can plan their own travel according to the following constrains, after processing all those constrains the Travel Ceylon app will suggest you are travel path to follow and list of interesting place which you can see on the path. Interest list of the traveler. Starting position. Destination Time period of travel. Special places to be included. Special places to be avoided. Cities can be marked as cities you stay for see place or just passing cities. When a user accept a suggested travel plan by the app, he can follow it. On the way through the plan app will notify you about places your are reaching,their importance, places you can visit etc. So As I noticed, the OpenTripPlanner have most of these functionality. But I cant figure out what have not given in OpenTripPlanner. So can you please help me in that case ? Also I have cloned the git repository to my machine. And I have change its AndroidManifest.xml to change the Android SDK version, I have just changed it to API 8 and tried to run it. Most of the time it docent run,it shows only black screen most of the time. When it runs first it ask to select a server, Then I choose USA server, Then it shows the main UI. Then I choose my starting point and Destination point and click the button Plan Trip. Then it shows some pending dialog and after while it shows nothing. When I check the LogCat at Eclipse it has following error. 03-23 21:12:40.535: E/OTP(358): No route to display! I cant figure out what is the reason. I have done is change the apps android version and tried to run it on API15 emulator. I have internet connectivity well. Please help me to proceed further. Thank You Very Much Sir Regards Andun S.L.

Dear Graham, Thank You Sir for the detailed instruction set. As you said I am currently doing some playing with OSM. Also I am doing some research for choosing a specific idea. Soon I will choose one. So if I choose one form that idea list, I have to give my proposal saying what I am going implement that project idea. Simply my plan. Isn't it? Also can I put proposal's to more than one project from your organization?

So I Purposed an app can suggest those buses and routes on users request. 4 - These days I am developing an Android application for Sri Lanka Police Department.

They want to use it in their crime investigations. 5 - Also I am a major web developer of my University
Re: [OSM-talk] About GSOC 2012
Dear Sir, I have download the source code of CycleStreet app and did some checking. So according to my understanding it mainly focus on cycle rides near London. Also data is little bit low outside those major cities. We can plan some routes using that application. Anyway considering the project OSM Application for Android is it good or bad to develop that CycelStreet app? Because the connection between OSM Application for Android and CycleStreet map is less. I am asking this because I have less knowledge about it. Anyway CycleStreet have good features like GoogleMaps, Also i have identified some potential features that can be added. So what is your idea sir. Thank You On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 12:57 PM, Andun Sameera andun...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Graham, Thank You Sir for the detailed instruction set.

This list will be fine to ask questions. Here are a few suggestions to get you started: - It is important to understand the fundamentals of what OSM is, so if you have not done so before, please start by creating an account and making some improvements to the map in your local area. - It would also be good to look at the OSM data structure. Details of the xml file format can be found on our wiki. - The next stage is for you to develop a project proposal - our ideas page lists quite a few ideas, but these need some development to turn them into a successful project proposal - you should be able to see our application template on the Google GSoC web site.
