<div class="h5">Hi,<br>
I just began to develop my own application and chose
gvSIG mini as it seems robust and promising ; thanks
for developping this great application.<br>
<br>
Yet, after having spent several days in the code, I
think some refactor may be made (as mentionned in the
header's comment in the activity/map.java file).<br>
<br>
- Are you planning to refactor in the month to come ?
(I have to build a first version of my software in
this delay)<br>
- Is there a way to contribute to gvSIG mini and
possibly see some patch merged upstream ?<br>
(Troll question: are you planning to move to git ;))<br>
<br>
<br>
Otherwise:<br>
- Do you plan to integrate vector feature import ?
(GML etc. ?)<br>
- Is there an explanation for not using thrid party
lib like the Geotools lib for Java ? (eg: for handling
projection, geometry etc.) <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi Simon,<br>
<br>
1. I do think some refactor is needed... we are currently in
the process of releasing a version with offline POI
management, so no big refactor is going to be done.<br>
<br>
2. If you have some patch or bug fix you can e-mail them to
me and I will merge them into the trunk for the next
version. If you plan to contribute frequently we can give
you write permissions to the SVN (we not plan to move to git
:P).<br>
<br>
3. Regarding vector data I've done some tests (in my spare
time) on using the gvSIG-GPE library to parse some vector
formats (GML, KML, GPX...). It would be a nice feature but I
guess we would need some collaboration as we have limited
resources.<br>
<br>
4. gvSIG Mini was developed at the beginning for Java
capable phones (MIDP 2.0 / CLDC), so we couldn't use any
third party library as most of them were not compatible with
J2ME. When we decided port gvSIG Mini to Android we took
some compatible code from the Java phone's version, so, is
because of that we have our own geometries and projection
model.<br>
<br>
Can I ask you what is your application about?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

type="cite"> Hi,<br>
thanks a lot for your quick and accurate answer.<br>
<br>
Offline POI management is a great feature :) What do you put
under the "management" word ?<br>
<br>
The application i'm currenlty developping is supposed to offer
an enhanced (interactive) experience when visiting a famous
place (Castle, museum, etc.).<br>
A visit is composed of an offline (for autonomy sake) map, POIs
and media.<br>
When the visitor moves into some area (GPS located), actions are
triggered : phone vibrating, sounds playing, media
(text/photos/videos) are suggested.<br>
The map displays those media and the POIs he already visited ;
the nearest POI etc.<br>
<br>
The goal is to provide great immersion when visiting a place.<br>
If you have any idea of any kind (how to realize some point
using you application, interesting features, etc.), you are more
than welcome :)<br>
<br>
I am currently refactoring out large pieces of code (just moving
stuff around - to limit class size -, adding factories and so
on).<br>
It would be great if my patch were to be discussed and some move
upsteam, otherwise It may be impossible for me to maintain it.<br>
I would be glad to help building your app as I will certainly
still use it in the future.<br>
<br>
Submitting my work by patch seems a bit tedious. How could we
improve this ? Maybe a repo on github where we may comments the
code etc. ?<br>
<br>
<br>
By the way, I'm not an expert at GIS technology (trying to learn
hard ! :) ) but I should be able to program as it's my job :)<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
it seems to me that your application can fit with what we are
currently developing. We plan to pack POIs into a database stored in
the SD card and allow the user to visualize several POI layers
(transportation, accomodation, food, shops, monuments, etc...), find
nearest places, full text search of POIs and streets, mark POIs as
favourites, etc. It looks like a great idea add that 'interactive
experience' to the POIs.<br>
<br>
About how to deal with the development or submit patches, if you
want we can discuss in private as I will need more info of the
features you plan to develop.<br>
<br>
I have some questions:<br>
<br>
Do you plan to publish your app in the market? How do you plan to
manage POIs and media? Will be they stored in the SD card, taken
from a remote service...?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
