Add location of Google Maps to Second Activity

Hi! I developed the main activity of my app. On there there is a button which when clicked goes to the Second Activity.

This is my first app, so I needed suggestions on a design issue. I downloaded the Google Play Services because I want to create a real-time locations map on the Second Activity page. The issue is:

1. Should I develop another app with the Google Maps, then link it by including it in the Second Activity.kt code?

2. Should I work with only my first app, where I code a real-time Google Maps into the Second Activity? This by the way on how you do it is a little difficult to search for.

Need a app and call blocker for specific...

I'm wondering if some sort of kiosk mode would work. I have zero experience with this myself, but I believe they can be used to eliminate access to everything except what the users should have. In other words, the drivers would see nothing but what you want them to see/use.

I vaguely remember a 'family tracking' feature I set up on one of my early Android phones, just for the hell of it. It had to be through Google...a quick search yielded this support page about it. The app is called Family Link, and is intended for parents to control what their children can do--and shows where they are. I don't know about any potential legalities using it for adults. The point really is, though, that this is doable. Maybe not with this app, but doable.

Keyboard Won't Stay Chosen

Thank You Game Theory for the link. The directions are quite clear. I'll save them so when next I have to do this, I won't have to fumble around!

I think I figured out the de-selecting problem. (Key words are "I Think".)
When I moved a keyboard from SD card storage to Phone storage, it seems to stay selected. Well, at least so far...

Thanks Again DannyDet & Game Theory for taking your time to help me out and for the great tips!

Will s10 snapdragon variant work in india?

Officially the snapdragon 855 won't be available in India, you could try any of these stapes though if you really want snapdragon 855
  1. Buy the Snapdragon 855 varient of S10 from Alibaba/baggood/amazon or any third party retailers. You will have to wait for long and pay extra for shipping and may or may not have to pay customs
  2. If you have any friends or relatives in US or Canada or even UAE ask them to buy the phone and send it to you or ask them to bring it with them.
I have someone in UAE however the thing i am worried about is region sim lock of samsung, exypansys.ae mentions the device is unlocked but there's no way to find out if its region unlocked or not

Could I easily tell if the screen on the Motorola G7 Play is cracked?

Yes, cracks would be easily visible.

I don't want to be rude, but you've posted about half a dozen threads worrying about whether normal use will destroy your phone. They are not that delicate: try not to drop it, sit on it or immerse it in water (or other fluids), be wary on a beach (sand and salt water), but otherwise you don't have to worry so much.
Not rude at all. You're just trying to help, and I appreciate it.

What app is this icon for?

hard to say....looks like its for Honda....but i doubt it.

here is the thing, we get this kind of question almost everyday. the only true way to find out what it is, is by looking into the phone's settings under notifications.

with icons there are thousands of possibilities of what app it could represent. factor in web notifications and you have a lot more to deal with.

so the possibility of someone knowing what the icon represents can be hit or miss. most of these threads go unanswered or nothing really comes out of the thread.

so let's cross our fingers and hope someone will recognize the icon.

[GUIDE]-Rooting the Samsung GALAXY Core Prime SM-G360T1

FWIW your guide was easy enough to follow, better than many how-to's I have read. That said the instructions worked and I was able to reboot the phone 2 times. Now I get a seandroid message and a SET warranty bit : kernel message with it. Needless to say the phone is useless. Add to that I have no backup to restore it to that's my fault.

Thank you,

Snapper 7

PS: I have posted my troubles to the forum and am trying to sort it out, just thought you'd like to know of my experience.

APN removed Android 10?

Definitely carrier activated but allowed by Google/Android. There was a lot of discussion about it from what I remember. The fact that Google catered to the carriers demand/ Wishes.
I think this was one of the things I found online about it and led me down the rabbit hole to XDA and a lot of other sites

What type of files are "memo" files?

Ok, got it thanks for the help.
You're welcome.
I now know why there are no local services which provide phone data recovery as the chances would be slim to none.
After a factory reset, unfortunately, yes. But as noted, that's the point. Like if you're selling your phone, you factory reset it first, then you know the buyer can't dredge up your data.
