[SoC] GSoC Weekly Report #10 - Design and implement an API for tiled vectorial support of POIProxy for gvSIG Mini

[Arturo Argilés Casasús]

Hi,

this week I've been developing the user interface to allow a user select a
POIProxy service. At the moment a request is performed each time the button
at the top bar is touched. With this functionality any time a new service
is added to POIProxy it can be visualized into gvSIG Mini without the need
to re-build the application

When the user taps on the top bar button, it makes a request to the
available services in POIProxy, then the application presents a ListView to
the user with the name of the available services. When the user taps on any
item in the ListView a new POIProxy overlay is added to the map. At the
moment just on overlay can be added at the same time. This is because
performance issues that I'm not sure to be able to solve from here to the
end of the summer.

*Problems*:

* I've tried this week to add some kind of disk cache, to speed up the load
of POIs, but I'm facing problems while accessing file system in Android. It
is almost coded, but I need to make some tests to make sure that it really
makes the application go faster.

*Work for the next week*:

* Next week I'm taking holidays, I've talked to my mentor and is OK for
him. So, I'll be back on September 2nd to continue with the final part of
the project :)
