Re: [talk-ph] Wikipedia mobile app now uses OSM
I am just looking at the guts of Wikipedia mobile app and see what
sort of services it uses.
I found out it is also using Geonames (see code below). It also uses
JSON to get the lat and long.
Noli
###
#geo.js
function geoLookup(latitude, longitude, lang, success, error) {
var requestUrl =
"http://ws.geonames.net/findNearbyWikipediaJSON?formatted=true&";;
requestUrl += "lat=" + latitude + "&";
requestUrl += "lng=" + longitude + "&";
requestUrl += "username=wikimedia&";
requestUrl += "lang=" + lang;
$.ajax({
url: requestUrl,
success: function(data) {
success(data);
},
error: error
});
}

Maning, I guess you are using Android app, right? The beauty of Wikipedia mobile app using PhoneGap/Cordova is, it has the same look and feel in all mobile platforms.

Re: [talk-ph] Wikipedia mobile app now uses OSM
I just bought a Mac OS X DVD 10.6.0 created a hackintosh laptop. I can trip boot in my laptop - ubuntu, mac os x and window 7. My Mac OS X is in portable hard drive. I just plugin when I like to use Mac OS X. Laptop is a bit hard to keep it working, however, the PC is easy. You just select the right component i.e. graphic card for the PC. In Laptop, trackpads are hard to make it working. I just use a mouse to solve this problem. Some laptops trackpad can be working. Hackintosh PC and Laptop are better than the real mac since you can have 2 or 3 version of Mac OS X in your PC, not mentioned linux and windows. http://www.tonymacx86.com/ is make it easier to run Lion or Snow leopard in PC. A lot of Mac power users are actually turning in the way. It is not illegal since you buy the DVD for Mac OS X. You just buy $40 MAC OS X lion DVD and a weekend to have your PC running Mac OS X. I can run Spatialite library using QuickConnect by replacing SQLite3 library. I can query my Spatialite database and display the GeoJSON in Leaflet or Openlayers. Although at the moment, I am also helping PhoneGapSQLiteplugin to properly run sqlite database. Right now, blob is the probem. It is not working. Spatialite library is not working with PhoneGap. PhoneGap now is Cordova. It is now an Apache project. Noli You can buy lion DVD as well now.

One stumbling block for me to use PhoneGap for developing on iOS is that I need access to both OSX and iOS. Anyway, why do you think QuickConnect is better than PhoneGap? PhoneGap was acquired by Adobe, so it means that PhoneGap must be that good. ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
Re: [talk-ph] Wikipedia mobile app now uses OSM
Yes, Wikipedia mobile app uses Leaflet and PhoneGap. PhoneGap addresses fragmented mobile OSes for mobile devices. Google is funny. It is blocking Openlayers apps that uses Google Maps as data source. It pops up a modal dialog - "Map Data". I observed it in my mobile prototype apps lately. Moving away from Openlayers and Google Maps and I am using Leaflet now with jQTouch + a bit of PhoneGap. However, QuickConnect is superior compare to PhoneGap.

[talk-ph] Wikipedia mobile app now uses OSM
Hi everyone, The Wikimedia Foundation has just released new versions of their Wikipedia app for iOS and Android. One big change to the app is that they have switched to using OpenStreetMap (using the MapQuest Open tileset served via Leaflet, but Wikimedia plans to use its own tiles in the future) instead of Google Maps. Blog post here: http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/05/new-wikipedia-app-for-ios-and-an-update-for-our-android-app/ This switch is not for economic reasons (since Google currently does not charge app developers for Google Maps for mobile), but for idealogical reasons (Wikipedia is about open data/knowledge after all), and also since the map feature can now be viewed on more Android phones especially those that do not have Google Maps Mobile built in. 2012 is looking to be the year of OpenStreetMap. :) ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
