I am new to android and i am trying to build a police station finder application near my current location. I have a little idea how to do it with map fragments but map fragments don't work anymore. So, what is the other way to do the same?
here you can get places near by your location using Google Place API and for use of Place Api see this blog
hope this will help you.

I'm developing an Android Application that uses the DJI SDK. The drone I'm using right now is the Mavic Pro 1. This application wants to use the predefined classes for waypoints inside the DJI SDK to create missions for the drone, but when performing the configuration of the Waypoint mission and correctly loading the mission inisde the Mission Operator (current state is set to: READY_TO_UPLOAD after calling the MissionOperator.loadMission), when trying to perform the "uploadMission" predefined function the app crashes and the Drone automatically disconects of the Application.
I think the waypoints are correctly created and saved inside the builder, otherwise it would fail in the loadMission function. Also the parameters are correct since the checkParameters function is used.
I have seen that some people in previous posts say that you need first to set the application to Ground station mode. But I don't find any indications of this existing inside the DJI SDK documentation, so I think it is deprecated and not needed anymore for current versions of the SDK.
Is the Upload of the mission inside the Operator failing because I am using a Mavic Pro 1 maybe?
If anyone has the correct steps to setup Waypoint missions or knows the error it would be of great help for all the DJI SDK users.
Best regards,
Thanks in advance
Take a look at the example project for the sdk on github. It's all in there.

Mavic 1 should work with waypoints.
If you include your logcat we might help you, without that and your code, it's almost impossible to tell what you doing wrong.
My goal is to have a GPS Track displayed in a local Java Application with Google Maps. And I am pretty sure I am not the first one to try this, so there should be a way.
The Problem is that I found the Google Maps Engine API (Deprecated) which is stated as deprecated. But I didn't find any replacement. Only this page, which then links to the deprecated version again.
I also did some search, but all results seem to point to future deprecated API, and also are pretty old.
Can anyone point me a version or tooling that I will be able to still use in 2016? Or does anyone know an alternative to using Google Maps for displaying GPS tracks in a local java app.
Thanks
In case anyone has the same problem:
I used mapsforge https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge
JxMaps library provides possibility to add Google Maps to java swing application. Using this library you can draw GPS track either as polyline or set of markers on the map.
I'm new to building applications (so far made only one application ) . The question is - can not figure out whether it is possible to make parsing Google maps ? For example user clicks a button and he at around 100 yards displayed cafe . that is, Google determines the location of the user and is recognized all around the cafe (not on the map and the text on the page ) . Now try to understand how the geocoder, but not sure that I was going in the right direction . Are there any ideas what the library is connected properly and work with her?
I hardly understand your question, however, I should mention that there are two versions of google maps API for android at the moment, and those versions differ significantly. It's really sensible to use API v2.
You can find good tutorials on this topic, one is here, notice that russian and english versions of site are available.
whether it is possible to make parsing Google maps
If you mean getting geo coordinates on click event you can find OnMapClickListener class useful, see the tutorial above for help.
i am in trouble in finding the best ways to crate a custom floorPlan for a exhibition where i can draw a path using A* algorithm between each exhibitor? I search a lot about this but dont get the right ways of building this.
Any help will be more appreciable
Floor Plan like this
Look at this Google I/O App for Android .
Guide yourself using the conference map
Note: Well you only need to look at the Map portion of the code.
I'm new to Android development. As a class assignment another student and myself are making an android app that will utilize GPS coordinates.
Is there anywhere that would be a good place for me to start with GPS feature on Android, or that has a good example of how to use GPS? I don't want anything deep, literally just how to retrieve and use current GPS coordinates. I'd like to start simple and build up from there.
As mentioned in one of the other answers, Vogella's article here is very good for learning the basics of using GPS on Android.
The Android Dev guides are also particularly good for this area - obviously there are issues with battery drain associated with using location listeners. More in-depth information on what you can do to combat those issues are here, as when you get to grips with how to use GPS, you'll want to use it efficiently!
HTH
Well mostly GPS coordinates are used along with Google Maps. So, as a starter what you can do is just get your own coordinates and put a marker on your location on the map.
This article and this one describes everything about using google maps with android.
Hope this helps.

this will be a good start. it explains how to get GPS coordinates as text format. Without dealing with google maps or anything complex.
