Today I have realized, that IOS MapKit must not be used for vehicle tracking apps, just if you have google premium (10 000 dollars/yeer/100 vehicles, so it is far from ideal for me)
So my question is if there are any good and free mapping component (e.g. open street based) for IOS that can be used free also in vehicle tracking applications?
Thanks
ESRI has a free IOS control. it can talk to their public servers or to a private server.
here is a "list" of the free services offered by ESRI. You should check them out and see if any of them meet your needs. I don't know how good their coverage of Europe is.
Check out route-me project for showing maps on iOS devices. It can show online and offline maps. If you need routing check out this forum thread. I haven't tested it, but as far as I understood, you can calculate routes on your server and then give them back to you iOS app.
You should have a look at CloudMade and their NaviStudio. By reading this overview, I understand, that it is free, but may contain advertisement.

What's going to happen now that Huawei is releasing their new OS? If it blows up, and there's a good chance it will, there'd be a massive gap in access to a whole new platform. I've chosen the easy way out and I've been developing mobile apps for iOS and Android via React-Native. Will React-Native support HarmonyOS?
This question might be better directed towards the React Native Feature Requests page.
I haven't seen any mentions to add support for HarmonyOS at this stage, however the community could add support if there's demand. There's plenty of prior art around for alternative platforms.
If Facebook starts supporting HarmonyOS with its apps, then first-class support is much more likely.
I think we need to wait for HarmonyOS become more popular with
developer & user, currently (Dec 2020), Huawei only shares beta
testing for a limited partner of them after the HDC event, no more
technical docs available for HarmonyOS app developers at this time.
If it becomes more popular & attracts developers, maybe React-Native will support it, For more information, you can find at https://www.huaweicentral.com/harmonyos-hongmeng-os-everything-you-need-to-know/
I am working on a newsstand magazine and I have done the content (with great help from the Laker Compendium), but can't manage to do the part concerning the app's store view and server downloading.
There is really a small number of tutorials and such help on newsstand and the only one I found to be helpful in some other aspects, doesn't really explain well this part.
Simply, what I'm asking is if I have created content (as a single app), how do I get it to work with a store and future issues?
Is there a downloadable project I can adapt to my own server?
Laker does not yet have newsstand capability. You can try to add it yourself. This is the best tutorial I have found:
http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/17/ios-newsstand-tutorial/
Also, I recommend the wwdc video talks that you can download for free on iTunes about newsstand. You will need to build your own server to host the files. I'm doing the same using Google App Engine. This is a non-trivial project.
I need to automatically transcribe some short MP3s as part of a proof of concept I am working on. I am currently looking into cloud solutions or web API services to send the MP3 as a simple HTTP request and receive a transcription back.
The only free/open source solution I have found here, but the demos don't seem to work (at least not on the files I need to transcribe). I have found some enterprise solutions for call centers, but so far nothing I can simply integrate into a project.
Are there any web based speech recognition services available? One that is able to filter out small noise would be a plus.
Here is an unofficial method to access Google ASR capability. I just tested on Yesterday and it still works - you can get JSON style ASR output with words and associated confidence score from an FLC audio sampled in 16KHz.
Also you can try speech recognition engine of Windows 7 to produce subtitles. Here is the tool for that.
This may be a good match. Also, their techcrunch profile (See this) lists competitors as: SimulScribe, SpinVox, Vlingo, Nuance, Microsoft, Google
Some of these links may be helpful.
Vlingo, Bing and Google have recognizers in the cloud, but I don't think they make them publicly programmable. I believe they are accessible only from their authorized clients.
For a proof of concept (and low volume), have you considered just using the desktop speech engines that come in Windows 7? What is the difference between System.Speech.Recognition and Microsoft.Speech.Recognition? may be helpful. The MS desktop recognizers ship with a dictation grammar and it sounds like that is what you will need.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson mobile phone and I would like to add a missing feature myself. In fact I cannot actually disable Internet connection in an easy way when roaming, which cost me a lot of money last time I moved away ... So I would like to develop a little application that would just replace the actual Internet configuration with a fake configuration to avoid auto-connections.
So what I would like to know is how can I access programmatically to my phone settings? I know that Sony Ericsson provides a SDK to run Java applications on its customised JVM. So what I am actually looking for is to know if they extended the J2ME functionality to fit their devices requirements.
This is not well documented so I am asking this question with the hope that someone here already had experience with development targeted for Sony Ericsson devices.
Thanks.
NB: This is a Sony Ericsson Elm which is based on the Sony Ericsson OS with SE Java Platform 8.5.
Edit: I accepted QuickRecipesOnSymbianOS answer as it gave me a clue on the only feature that could have helped me, but which is unfornatunately missing. The Sony Ericsson Java Platform is the only API I could use to develop real programs on my phone. But the JP-8.5 does not implement the JSR-307 package which could help me in managing APN. Thanks everyone for your help.
Well, I hope you got the great Vivaz phone, not the Satio.
In order to learn about Symbian OS C++, first go to the Foundation website.
Relevant plug: the latest introduction to Symbian OS C++ in book form is Quick Recipes on Symbian OS
For now, you won't find a better way than Symbian OS C++ to manipulate your handset access points.
JavaME simply doesn't have the correct APIs for this, at least not until JSR-307 is implemented.
I believe Qt isn't integrated quite tightly enough just yet either but that should change soon enough. Keep an eye on it.
Extending the Symbian Python runtime to do what you want would require some Symbian OS C++ anyway.
Yes you will need to use Symbian C++ to modify the CommDB, which holds the list of connections. It is quite painful to work with it directly, but there are some utility classes that can help you out. Take a look at CApSelect, CApDataHandler and CApAccessPointItem, all in the developer library.
And yes, these will work on all modern Symbian handsets, independent of brand.
Note: My answer below assumed it was about a symbian device. Since it was actually a J2me device none of the below applies
The easiest way to achieve what you want to do is probably to just remove all the "destinations" when you want to prevent auto connections. Otherwise the device will test each destination in turn until it finds one that works.
You can also set up your destinations so that they are not allowed to be used automatically. This setting must be done individually for each destination.
You can also group your destinations and set one of the groups to the default. If you set the default to an empty group you should not get any automatic connections.
Note that I have not tested any of these methods myself. When I roam I turn off automatic updates in the apps that use them. Some apps can even detect when you are roaming and avoid auto connects.
There are S60 apps available that improves the connection management of vanilla S60, but I do not know if any of them can help you with your problem.
If you are dead set on doing the programming yourself you have to use the C++ SDK for Symbian S60 available from Forum Nokia. Java ME does not allow you to manipulate the destinations of the device.
The Elm device should have (I haven't verified this) the access point API originally designed by Nokia. Not sure whether you can use it for the purpose you want though. The J2me developer guidelines available from developer.sonyericsson.com should have all the information you need.
How to create a WAP website?
What software do I use?
Do I just need to use HTML coding or other type of language?
And after I created it, Can I view it on my own phone?
Do I need a server to let it run or I can just view it on my phone?
Can someone help please, its for my project.
Thanks alot.
What phones are you targeting? Any phone released in the last 3-5 years is able to view standard (X)HTML without issue - except for the fact that they mostly have very small screens.
Some phones do not support Javascript very well (but that is mostly changing, too) and most phones do not support Flash (yet - most newish phones except iPhone will probably support flash "soon", if not already).
The only other main difference is that most phones these days use a touch interface, rather than a traditional keyboard/mouse. That means you can't really do things like hover effects and so on.
But other than the smaller size, everything else is pretty minor.
I agree with the post above that unless you are targeting very old phones, there is probably very little point to working with WAP today - AFAIK the last official version was WAP 2.0 which was circa 2002.
WAP 2.0 used a streamlined version of XHTML. The best way to develop is to either navigate your phone to a standard HTTP server hosting your files - or download and use a simulator. I found the best practice was to develop the app until it worked on the simulator (which could often be directed to load local files) and then do final testing and tweaking with actual devices.
