Navigation is a really complex thing to code. Pathfinding is the first thing you'll want to understand. After that you'll want to know how to categorize rooms, inside buildings.
So for example you'll have an algorithm that: Looks for the correct building and the closest entrance-> looks for the correct floor in the building -> looks for the correct room in the floor.
Here is a (very) detailed pdf outlining the process: ase.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/uploads/Publications/ThesisV1.0.pdf

I read that pdf file, it is very complicated... i am new to android development, is there any easy way to do this.
Thanks

Xoom documentation

Hi, I'm configuring a Xoom with corporate email. I know how to do it but I was asked to put together some documentation with pics.
Do any of you have somethin like it ready? or it's there screen cap app that does not need rooting?
Give me mock information and I will make you a basic set of screen shots.

You can use the emulator for screenshots. Slow but works. I used it to create documentation on 2.1+ devices for my company.

I wouldn't add graphics xml (I'm not actually sure if you can?) you can load bitmaps and display them using Canvas. I think it's the best way to get started displaying images onto the screen.

I think you never learn documentation about android developement.
You must learn it to have a global vision of android developement and after if you have questions you can ask it here.

[Q]How to build systemui with eclipse

I tried to build cm9.2 (ics) systemui with eclipse.but it showed more than thousand errors.how to solve this problem
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As far as I know, building the system UI is not possible without building the whole ROM or at least having it in the complete ROM tree.
So no way other than ubuntu?and downloading GB's of sources?

Well, you could run it in a VirtualBox. But I think that there is no other way. (I use it as my only OS btw.)

Actually you can build it in eclipse itself. Remove the internal references and replace them by alternatives if needed. Again, use reflection as and when required although its not recommended. I've done it before and it works perfectly.

System apps use many of the internal references which are not available by the SDK for example com.android.internal.*, the ones denoted by @hide, etc.
Either patch up your SDK with internal references or use workarounds to make it compile.
So i can i patch the sdk?

Do a search with those few keywords on google. High chances are there are already sources out on the net that handles these particularly on stack overflow
