ARGo example source code

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I had some questions about the ARGo sample project. I wanted to create an app 
that combines two ideas from these to videos

I want to create an app that will allow arrows(instead of hexagons) to 
represent different locations. So when users click on the arrows, a simple 
alert dialog box will appear that will allow users to get more information 
about the location.

1)I was wondering if there is any sample source code of the ARGo.apk that I can 
look at to get an idea of how it works? Which setup do you recommend for this 
type of project?

2)If wanted to overlay a simple dialog box similar to the one in the ARGo 
example, should I use the DroidAR framework or should I use a surfaceview on 
top of a camera preview window?

Thanks

1) The difficult thing in ARGo was the api connection to gowalla, displaying 
the loaded locations is easy, just wrap them with your datastructure, use the 
icon as the representation (and maybe add some visual candy;). I would use my 
own subclass of DefaultARSetup for this.

2) This dialogs which you can see in the video are created with the stuff in 
the simpleUi package in the DroidAR project. See 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMLi3OVEUCY&feature=player_embedded to get an 
idea how to use SimpleUI. Dont use a surfaceview on top, use a separate 
activity if you want to do your own ui stuff. see the SimpleUI activity and the 
flags in the manifest. The trick is to make the activity transparent to not 
pause the ARActivity.

So the source for ARGo isn't available, right?

I'd like to look at it to extend it to connect to custom POI servers instead of 
gowalla, building a generic API for it.
