Hi Adrian,
just to explain a few things:
the library will be used in Fennec (Firefox for Android) and maybe other
Android apps.
You cannot just port it to Firefox OS, I think.
Firefox OS itself has an implementation already that allows app
developers to get an approximate position from Ichnaea.
If you want to contribute data for Ichnaea using a Firefox OS device
than you can use FxStumbler which has been written by Clochix.
It's open-source and you can take a look at it's code on his repo:
https://github.com/clochix/FxStumbler/
He's using async_storage for his database.
Regards,
Felix

MozStumbler is being split into service and client, the service being
usable in Firefox for Android for stumbling. The service is also
usable by 3rd parties as a stumbling library, although its use isn't
documented yet. This resulted in a lot of code changes, and a longer
turn-around time to get the next stable release out.
Very cool. I'll be excited to try this with my Firefox OS web app for
Stumbling since only the system calls will be different.
Could you, either now or when the work is done, explain the Web API
calls that you will be exposing? Presumably the GeoLocation call will
be standard (although that API is flaky on a mozilla-apk-cli ported
app but I have not yet had time to debug). The Cell phone API is a
'certified' API in the Firefox OS world but I presume you will be
exposing that as well. The Storage API could be standard as well, but
we will need some guidance about how to use it on Android. I am
running into problems knowing where to store stumbled data on
different architectures. I am not sure how to establish the correct
directory on different Firefox OS devices, so doubly unsure for
Android devices.
So, any deeper explanation of your design, either plans or
realization, would be helpful.
cheers,
