Since I don't like the ticwatch fitness tracking app that much.... I would like to develop another fitness tracking app (starting with running because I'm a runner).
My plan:
-starting to use the tic API to get GPS to determine distance
-get HR using API
-once gps distance tracking is working, then determine pace, speed, etc...
-output a .gpx file that can sync to other fitness apps, aka sync to runkeeper
-develop tic watch app and phone app
Any suggestions or help would be awesome!
What apps are you guys working on?
UPDATE(1): Oct. 17, 2016
-will make a GIT repository on BitBucket in the near future
-putting together base code for an app
-currently trying to use the tic api to get gps location every X seconds, but ran into some trouble...
-WORKING: getting last location: see Geographical Location API http://developer.chumenwenwen.com/en/do ... l#doc/5/19
-NOT WORKING: onLocationChanged() not being called even though requestLocationUpdates return success
-see Request Location Updates https://developer.android.com/training/ ... ction.html
-using Mobvoi client instead of Google api client
UPDATE(2): Oct. 17, 2016
-getting the heart rate from the watch seems to work
-WEIRD ISSUE: the onLocationChanged() from the requestLocationUpdates is WORKING ONLY IF you start tracking an outdoor activity with the Tic fitness app, and then start my app containing the location requests. This leads me to believe that my app is missing some code that initiates the GPS on the watch.
UPDATE (3): Oct. 23, 2016
-BLOCKED due to Mobvoi NOT allowing gps access, let Mobvoi know if you want them to allow developers to have gps access. It will allow for more opportunities in app development (fitness, maps, etc.)
UPDATE(4): Oct. 24, 2016
-able to write .gpx file on watch, save on sdcard
-and retrieve .gpx file via 'adb pull' command
UPDATE(5): Nov. 28, 2016
-sorry for the late updates, I have not forgotten about this app!
-currently working with mobvoi to get temporary gps access for development
-created gps service to run in background, so if app is accidentally exited it will still track until you re-enter the app and stop tracking
UPDATE(6): December 16, 2016
-Finally got GPS access for testing!
-Hope to have a GIT repo put together in the new year
-Successful test with GPS distance and HR tracking [img][/img]
UPDATE(7): December 24, 2016
-I have been putting together a working prototype. This app needs lots of work and is still really new. I created an initial private repo on Github. If there are serious developers wanting to help please message me.
-Here is a Gitter for us to chat about awesomness https://gitter.im/TicFitApp/Lobby?utm_source=share-link&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=share-link
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
UPDATE(8): February 10, 2017
-Here is the git repo: https://github.com/ThisIsNull/TicFitApp
-Since I am still in school, I do not have time to complete this app at the moment
-Feel free to message me if anyone would like to help out
