Hi,

It would be nice to be able to upload the results to MLS (kind of like TowerCollector). MLS api seems straightforward and android provides the API to gather required parameters. This api seems to be the one used by the app.

Anyway, could be a nice addition ;).

Thanks

While that would be a useful feature, I definitely want to keep Local NLP Backend completely offline.

Is it possible to manually upload some list of scan results? For this there could be some text file written.

Hi, thanks for the follow up.

Exporting to a text file with the the column ready to send to the api would be nice, yes.

Ok, so my current idea is:

add a setting to collect scan results
- I think it makes sense to also include cell towers in addition to WiFis
store scan results in the database
- maybe limited total number of results to avoid having a huge database
on exporting the results, a json file ready to submit is created and the results table is cleared (no point in submitting twice)
