Using several LocationSources simultaneously
Wed, 07/07/2010 - 00:49
Hi,
I use LocationSource with LocationMarker to handle dynamic place - position of pet owner delivered by GPS. It's nice to track its location with setTrackingEnabled. But then, i have also a pet with different location and location source, also dynamic.
I would establish two LocationSources for MapComponent, but it allows only one. I can't use them interchangeably beacuse both of them can change in the same time.
Currently I use Place class for the pet case and remove-add-focus procedure to simulate dynamic with tracking. I need more uniform way, though. What should I do?
This is good question. With current library there is no really nice way to handle it: you can have one LocationSource in one hand, and Places are not meant to be dynamic in the other hand. Technically we could design and create needed feature for this, as customer-requested feature (as special project).
