Ericsson CID Lookup #

Description #

This application is using the Ericsson Labs Mobile Location API to plot your estimated location based on all Cells that your phone can detect Each Cell will produce a point on the map with a circle around it representing the estimated accuracy.

I wrote this when I was learning how to use a MapView in Android, and the Mobile Location API when I was doing the technical feasibility study of a project.

Notes #

• Only works for GSM. On 3G/ HSDPA it will only display the current cell.
• You will need to get a Mobile Location API Key. It is free for non-commercial purposes, but it is limited to only 1000 queries per account. Companies can purchase more transactions.
• Needs a data connection. Either 3G or WiFi will do.

Changelog #

• v0.0.1: First release.
• v0.1.1: Threaded the cell requests, UI updates, bugfixes.
