Android Question Display location on map and retrieve GPS coordinates?

[Shohreh]

Hello

I know nothing about writing applications for Android, or smartphones in general, and was curious to know if Basic4Android would be a good tool for this.

I'd simply like to write an application that...

1. Displays my current location on a map (Google or OpenStreetMap)
2. Read this information
3. Display a form to the user
4. Send this information to an Internet server over the data connection

Is this doable in B4A or should I really check either Java + VM or C/C++ + NDK?

Thank you.

It's 100% doable!
You'd be best to start with a more basic project or work through some tutorials first.
But your goal isn't that tricky to achieve.

Basic4Android is Visual Basic recycled.
So if your are familiar with vb then your at home. As warwound said you may consider starting with the
tutorials and examples.. and the guides, and the problem you posted is discussed in so many practical
examples.
