There are quite a few tutorials on Maps out there, so you will find
something.
My advice is to forget about "every few seconds", unless you're
experimenting to see how fast you can kill a battery. Go for every 5
minutes or something, unless it's critical that you get updates that
frequently. If you do need them that fast, you will need to build a way
to turn it off easily and probably automatically if the user forgets
about it.
Sincerely,
Brad Gies

Hey all,
We're starting a new project for college. We've no android development
experience, not even Java, so really jumping in the deep end. So any
advice on relevant tutorials is welcome... I haven't found too much on
maps online.
- We need to develop an application that will allow users to share
their location... this will upload to a database every few seconds.
- Then users can view other users on a google map, positions
downloaded every few seconds from the database.
- We will want the positions to update automatically at a fixed
interval and "redraw" on the map.
- Also we will need to draw paths/manual-routes as an overlay on the
map.
Any advice where to begin with this?
I have the SDK downloaded and the Hello Android tutorial completed.
Any advice on a series of tutorials, videos, etc that would help
achive the above would be great.... it's a big step from Hello
Android!
Thanks,
Joe
