importing .kml into google earth? sory if this has been covered but i searched for quite a while and couldnt find out how to do it. i used wardriver to map out network locations and i exported the data to .kml. now shouldnt i be able to load that .kml into google earth? i uploaded the .kml to wigle.net but it didnt give me a http addy to search for with GE. i even tried typing a .kml addy from a different site into GE search but it said not found.
this thread from april talks about .kml or GE not being available for android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661064. however i got GE from the market so i guess things have changed.
where can i find a clear-cut way of loading .kml files into GE?
I can't imagine nobody has any advise on this topic. Must have been covered already. Ill look elsewhere.

Man, I just can't figure it out. All the places just say to upload the kml to a host and search in GE for the url. I have uploaded the kml to wigle but it doesnt give me a url to my file. I simply want to place a layer of my wardriving networks on top of google earth. Is there anyone that can assist?

The android GE does not import .kml files. Only the pc version.
well hell.. thats marvelous to know. how about google maps? can i use kml in google maps on my phone? if not is there some other sort of map app that i can use? id like to apply my wardriving kmls to a map so i can review and use them.
thing is, i cant find the url to my hosted kml's on wigle. i have a in post the forums there asking about it but it hasnt been answered yet.
import your .kml to maps.google.com if the account is the same as your phone it will show up automatically in android Google maps layers, just enable that layer
Thanks for the reply. I hate to be such a noob but unfortunately I am just that. A noob. Do I need to import from my pc? When I go to maps.google.com on my phone it asks to open with browser or with maps. When I choose browser it loads then closes. When I choose to load it in maps it doesn't close but I can't find the option to import anything. Any way you could explain it step-by-step to me like you would to a 4 year old? Heh.

Hey it is now possible to open KML file with GE .
Ther's an APP on the market to do this :
"I've developed an app for Android that lets you load a KML or KMZ file into Google Earth. If you are on the Google Android Market, then just search for "KMLZ to Earth". Google might have overlooked it, but aside from the first load of the file failing (Google Earth won't read the URI if it's not running), then my app works perfectly to display KML or KMZ files in Google Earth.
WrightRocket"
Enjoy...
kml files are for the DESKTOP google earth program.
Trusselo
Maybe you're right but with this app you can use it on your PDA...
Tested and approved!
ya missed the post about your addon app.

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)
why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.
Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.
Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?
I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.
I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.
fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld
Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...
Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.
FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.
I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...
I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.
Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....
I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

Should be 2.1.1
Why was it pulled?
When is there going to be either:
An official Picasa app
Or a legitimate 3rd party app
This is Google after all, strange that one of their premier (imo) apps simply doesn't exist on a Google phone.

I agree... it should include Geo-Taggin as well! i mean its on the phone on Hero rom so why not include in app like FootPrints have?
When the G1 first came out a company called Multiple Facets released an app called Pictorial that connected to your Picasa Web account. It looks like this app was retired as I can not find an updated version anymore, luckily I kept this app when I made a backup using AppManager. You would have to log in to your Picasa account and you would be able to see all of your web albums and albums of friends. You could download pictures as well. It's not the most beautiful app but still works well on 1.5. I've included it in this post as an attachment. Hope this helps and is what you're looking for.

Hello,
You used to have an app named Pictorial for the Android platform that
is no longer available on the Android Market. Are you ever planning
on re-releasing it? Pictorial is the best way to view Picasa web
albums and would love to see an updated version.

The problem I have is viewing, not uploading. I've got a new baby and my wife loves Picasa for managing the picture and uploading them. The problem is that the web interfiace for Picasa on the G1, at least last I checked, will only show the first 100 pictures in an album. This will show them all.
Pictorial will show all pictures sorted by gallery. I have 4 galleries on my Picasa account and my fiancee has 6 galleries under hers and I can view them all with Pictorial. You can also download and save pictures.
I really need an app that can corporate with google maps online.
I need to be able to MARK a position, and give it a description. And then have it store in MY MAPS in my google maps profile.
Have anyone come across such an app ?
My Maps Editor by Google

Wont start, CM 6.1 RC1

if i need to mark a location i just star it on the map and come back to it later on the desktop. if on the desktop i star it then go to the phone and hit menu and starred places. or go to layers > more layers > mymaps on the phone

In a pinch, you could use the "Share" functionality to send yourself an email with the map link and annotate it there. But if you do find an app that does exactly what you describe, please report back here.
I have postet a logcat for The error with my maps editor. But i guess this app is yet to come :-\

So, I got me a Google+ account.
However, I can't seem to find the app on the market or download it directly from Google's website via a link set to my phone.
Any idea why, or where we can get the .apk?

Perhaps the app is blocked in your country? Try using Market Enabler?
I think the easest way to find it is searching any app from google on the downloaded list and go to "More apps from this developer" (or whatever you see in your language)
I've founded it by this way (on Argentina), but i don't have an invitation...
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Can't think of a reason why it should be blocked, there's a Hebrew translation for Google+ and I'm using it.
In addition, on the google+ page there's a link to send the app to my mobile, and for some reason I'm not getting the SMS with the link.
Strange stuff
Please, could someone upload the apk file? I can't download it from the market because it is country restricted. Thanks!
Yes market enabler and fake vodafone uk

Just get Adobe reader from play store. ?
Install QuickOffice
I thought that Google drive supported this type...
I had to get Adobe Reader installed. I disabled Quick office as Google is supposed to get rid of Quick office soon.

Google Drive doesn't support PDF yet, and all features of Quick Office haven't been integrated with Google Drive. I'd rather install QuickOffice over Adobe Reader, as Reader always seems slow to open. I have found a couple PDFs that only opened in Reader, but they weren't anything important. QuickOffice always loads the PDF files quickly. Really though, it's just personal preference on what you use.
