(feature request) Allow User To View Random Location
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Thanks for the awesome app!
I really like the addition of variable random positioning.
I am using another app (24h Analog Clock) on my homescreen that lets me know when location changes, via the daylight hours changing.
I think that it would be really cool to be able to open your app and see the current 'location' on the map.
Also, it would be neat if the map changed if viewing it at the time of a random change.
Glad you like it. Definitely a challenge implementing all the behavior and functionality without Google Maps!
I didn't put that in as I thought it would be pretty annoying to open the app and you're in a random ocean or wherever.
So I thought it best to leave as is so you can easily go into the app and switch off randomization if you want, and still be in your relevant area.
Could be worth adding a toggle in the settings for your suggestions though so users can choose.
Like the name and profile pic btw lol.
Alright, I've added an option to remember the last random location.
As it runs as a service, it's not possible to follow your location around in real-time, unless you click the location button on the map (the service doesn't know if the activity exists or not).
It will also update when you open or resume the app.
I'll add the changes in if/when the current release ever gets added to F-Droid.
Holding off updating Github for the moment until F-Droid picks it up as I'm having issues with versioning at the moment so I might need to recreate the current release.
Where to see the last location?
F-droid picked it up :)
And I can say the random location is not working (restarted multiple times enabled service and changed interval to 5min)
