Project kick-off

The aim of the project is to learn net technologies used on mobile platforms. In this specific case we will be hanging around the Android mobile platform. On this system we will create web client application which will let us to show map of some city (previously chosen one) transferred by HTTP protocol, direct from the web-service port. The mentioned service will be also created by us. It will be the heart of whole application.

OK. The city chosen previously is Grudziądz from Poland. Map will be the cut of the Open Street Maps project, saved into image format (jpg, png) in scale 1:10000 and maximum resolution 1000x1000 pixels.

When the Android application client will be launched it will request to web-service to have back whole map.

This is the first part of the application. Later we will do some more complicated functionality.

We will build application in Eclipse IDE. Web-service will be deployed on Glassfish server. To connect with web-service on Android client we will use KSOAP2 library,which is free to use.

So let's start!
