@heyheni Oh pride isn't an issue right now, I just don't know many people who can do this and find it kinda weird to ask this on devRant...
-
donuts236655yThen you don't want it bad enough... Although my last want took Google and an entire team 5yrs to do...
-
@Wombat All I really need is an android app which sends my location to a server every x seconds. Interval, server url configurable 😄
-
@heyheni nice suggestion, but people expect me to solve their issues.
when I ask them I need, help. they start laughing and even if I say seriously, they still don't help. Expect a few there who not helps, but at least give ideas that help me to do fast. -
@FrodoSwaggins Fair enough 😄 I do have the backend ready but the app is just the issue..
-
@balvinder294
Here I am over here offering my meager help left and right.
Everyone: not a soul ever takes me up on the offer. -
@Kashmir issue right now is that termux is not returning any location data... It returns blank every time while I'm getting a location on my maps app 😬
-
@Kashmir Nevermind, it works now! I just can't find info on the job scheduler api...
-
endor56555y@linuxxx dude, there are a few location-tracking apps on fdroid! There's one that integrates with nextcloud even (Phonetrack). Also a few others with custom backends if you wanna play with stuff. Don't remember the names atm though.
-
Hey @Kashmir does termux run uninteruped if your phone goes to standby and by android power saving functions?
And it will probably drain the battery very quickly as the gps fix requires some juice to do? -
endor56555y@linuxxx found a few others: Trackbook, Hauk, Seguime, Traccar, GPSd Forwarder, mulogger.
You can find them all in the Navigation section. -
@endor I know! I just don't have enough android dev skills to customize them. I tried this with ulogger a while back but the app isn't requesting continuous location access so the second I put it on standby it stops.
If this termux thing works, though, I could just make it a bash script... -
endor56555y@linuxxx look into the other apps I mentioned, they each have different features and ways to interact with a backend. At least one of them supports direct communication via UDP, and another one can interact with a Telegram bot, plus a bunch of other stuff, like continuous tracking.

donuts236655yThis sounds like the Google service that tracks your location history all day....

So that's like anti privacy? -
donuts236655yAnd I think you need to create a background service...aka a big brother that's always watching u...

I think the Facebook app has a lot of those... Drains the battery -
@billgates Well, I don't have Google play services on my phone and my provider can track me regardless, so...

nedjima4865yThis hits me on a spiritual level.
I am a student and I want to learn a lot of things but can't do anything because I am bad at handling multiple things at once :'/
That moment that you need something but your skillset isn't good enough to make it and your time is too limited to learn it.
I fucking hate those moments.
