Share My Creation Message My Coordinates

Hello,
Would like to invite you to try out and share your thoughts on my first app created using B4A.
The app allows you to locate your Latitude and Longitude coordinates using GPS, and message the same to your contact(s) using the default messaging app.

Google Play link:

Bug reports, suggestions, feedback, wishlists are most welcome.

Thanks so much!

Congratulations for your first app.

A few things:

1- The toast you have when your app starts is too small, in fact, I would not include it.
2- Change the way you display the Lat and Lon, instead of having the titles on top put them on the side.
3- Use the decimal notation to indicate the Lat and Lon, that way you could add a link to the SMS which will open Google Maps for example and show the location on a map.
4- Turn off the GPS when exiting the app, having it on all the time wastes battery.
5- Add the following permission to your Manifest to avoid devices without telephony to install your app or they will crash when attempting to send an SMS

android.permission.SEND_SMS
