[split] Creating Location-Aware Application with Java

[sureshpathak2009]

I want to developed a j2me application which display the location of current cell phone with the help of network operator.
Is it possible to developed such application in j2me or not?

Depends on what do you mean by "with the help of network operator" and I believe it also depends on the mobile phone you target, not all have the same set of JSRs.

Are you planing to use whatever location relevant information is already in the network (CellID, LAC ... ) or are you thinking about actully comunicating with a operator hosted service that tells you where the user is (network based positioning)

Hi itomuta,

I mean whatever location relevant information is already in the network (CellID, LAC ... ).
Is it possible to develope such application in j2me.
till now what i know jsr179 which is use for location is not supported by every cell.So it depend upon mobile phone also.
But how i can achieve this if support by some specific cell if you hve any idea tell me...

Hi itomuta,

Is it possible to develope without using GPS & network operator then it's great but i think it wont be possible as per my understanding of j2me.
But if possible also using network operator then also give some light how is t possible....

As far as I know this information (i.e. CellID, LAC, ...) is also accessible on some devices and I could not specify through which API. If you post a question in the Java networking forum I'm sure you will get the needed details.
