Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 1.3, University of Applied Sciences Fulda, course: Design and Implementation of Object Oriented Location Aware Application for Android Mobile Devices and Web Service Integration, language: English, abstract: Development of their processing power and memory capacities of mobile devices have brought chance to detect global location of devices over wireless networks, cellular networks and Global Positioning System (GPS). Via the usage of positioning technology business are enabled to provide Location Based Systems to track movement and delivers valuable information from web services. There are several geometric principles for location estimation such as Triangulation, Trilateration, and Multilateration. Along with these principles there are several techniques and limitations according to its indoor and outdoor usage. All these technological opportunities have broadened the variety of mobile applications, which are based on location data. Nowadays, these types of applications plays important roles for businesses such as services about social life or services for governments. Shortly, location based services determines location, transmit this location data, and receive information from web service. New generation android devices with its embedded signal receiver have enabled to use location service, mobile maps, and data communication infrastructure to transmit location data to web services. This research will introduce you the architecture and component model of Android Applications including activities, intent receivers, services, and content providers on the system established on Linux kernel and Android runtime, which includes Dalvik Virtual Machine and Android Libraries. Background of Location Manager on android devices, integration to map application of location manager, Geocoding, 3D topographical tracking, Handling Location Errors, Providers and Accuracy are
