🌍📷 Photos Nearby for Android

Show Photos from commons.wikimedia.org that are near a given geo-location in a webbrowser.

Uscase:

Suppose you are going on holiday. Your navigation app shows you a geo-map with your hotel and you want to see photos that are near this place.

In your navigation app

(1) select a place in the map (i.e. your hotel)
(2) open menu "view in external app" (or "send location to" or "share location with" or ...)
(3) choose "🌍📷 Photos Nearby" as destination
(4) => The webbrowser opens with a web page with photos near the selected place.

(1-3) Inside "navigation app" open selected geo-location with "🌍📷 Photos Nearby"

(4) As a result the webbrowser is opened with photos near the selected geo-location.

Note: You can use the commons app to upload photos to commons.wikimedia.org.

Note: There is a similar app AndroidGeo2ArticlesMap that shows articles from wikipedia/wikivoyage near the selected location in a geographic map.

"🌍📷 Photos Nearby" will soon be available here:

The App

You can get geo-infos from these opensource apps

Technically speaking the app

hooks into the android system for view/send/share events for geographic coordinates (also known as geo: - uri),
Translates the geo data into SPARQL database query.
converts the query into a https web adress.
and asks android to show the web adress in a webbrowser

Since android-developping is a hobby (and an education tool) i donot want any money for my apps so donation should go to projects i benefit from.
