This week I worked on getting the android map application up and running; which will be used purely for testing and development(as those without sight won't need a map layout, and we want to save energy with our application).
It was somewhat of a hassle to get the Google Maps API up and running, as I needed to correctly set up the Google Play Services API, which requires an authorization key, as well as downloading/installing extra libraries.
The IDE I am using to develop this portion of the project is the Eclipse Android Development Suite, which is a modified version of Eclipse that Google has released. It includes a android SDK manager, as well as a virtual device emulator. It's pretty convenient overall.
My next step in this process will be to be able to input an address and have a route from the users current position to the target location be created.
