    <p>I'm trying to do the following.</p> <p>-Get the long and latitude stored as a String that I can</p> <p>-Insert into a clickable URL that opens Google Maps (ie <a href="http://maps.google.com/long=string1+lat=string2" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/long=string1+lat=string2</a>) - this URL is included in an email that is being sent through the default email app.</p> <p>I've tried looking at URI, Linkify, Reverse GeoCoding but I can't seem to get anything. I can get the co-ords and display as a Toast notification, but trying to save them to use elsewhere is problematic at the moment.</p> <p>I've string String lat = Double.toString(location.getLatitude) but didn't get anything from it, or maybe there was no co-ords to get at the time the code executed as it perhaps didn't have a GPS lock, not too sure. Please see code below.</p> <p>public class ConfirmScreen extends Activity{</p> <pre><code>String mapCoord = "http://maps.google.com"; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_confirm_screen); LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); LocationListener mLocListener = new MyLocationListener(); mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0, mLocListener); sendEmail(); playSound(); } public void backHome(View view) { Intent intent = new Intent (this, MainScreen.class); startActivity(intent); } // Method to start playing and looping a sound. public void playSound() { MediaPlayer clickSound = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.warning); SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); Boolean soundCheck = sp.getBoolean("SOUND", false); if (soundCheck) { clickSound.start(); } }// method end public void sendEmail() { SharedPreferences sp = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this); String nameValue = sp.getString("NAME", "failed to get name"); String emailValue = sp.getString("EMAIL", "failed to get email"); Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); i.setType("message/rfc822"); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{emailValue}); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Email sent from DON'T PANIC - A Chris O'Brien Project"); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Hi there\n" + nameValue + " is in mortal danger.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
