Weekly Report 4

This week we tried to carry our project one step farther. Last week we distributed our workload using trac and started to perform our duties. Together with Güliz, we enhanced the client-server communication of our project. The problem in the server client part was caused by the buffer and string size limitations. We partly solved the problem considering those limitations. Now we can send larger images, but it was not sufficient enough. Apart from that, I took part in compass group and looked for a method to send a rotation event for compass of emulator to capture. But documentations for send event command were not satisfactory. But still, we managed to connect to android terminal by using the command line:

telnet localhost 5554

then after we connect to android terminal we sent the swap event:

send event EV_SW:0:0

and

send event EV_SW:0:1

to make a 90 degrees rotation and a rotation in reverse direction. But we could not be able to handle any event using android sensor listener.

Lastly, I helped Tolga during his server-side work which consists of image information retrieving from image database according to the GPS location.

Finally, for this week's demo we achieved sending meeningful information (name of the place) from server to client using gps information.
