Hello Everyone,

I am new one of mixare group. I am very interested to do location based AR. I 
want to start with mixare. 

I am using Eclipse and android 2.2 SDK+google API 8. I download the mixare 
source code from following link:

https://github.com/mixare/mixare/tree/master/src/org/mixare

Anyway I able to compile the source code and create .apk . when program run 
then camera open. but nothing(location info) show in the display. even my 
wireless internet is okay. it also show error on camera image. The error is " 
error while downloading http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyWikipedia..." I 
already set datasource as wikipedia.

I am living in Malaysia and if use map in mixare program it show the exact 
location. But in the camera, mixare show nothing.

I also download the latest .apk from android market but still same problem "no 
location information on camera image"

Please help me to sort out this problems.

Hi and welcome!

Please test the "custom URL" entry in the sources list. It should show 4 pois 
(facing North, south, east and west) on your camera screen.
If it does, than you are facing a problem with geonames.org, that most of the 
times fails (unfortunately).

Hi

I download the same codes and when I tried to compile them to apk in MOTODEV 
Studio for Android 2.2 which is a version of eclips.
When I import the source I got many errors on android xml and java classes, 
.... and compiler say that until I solve the errors it can not be compile. 
mostly the error is about 
1- multible ones 
The declared package "org.mixare" does not match the expected 
 package "org.mixare.luna"

Multiple markers at this line
    - DownloadRequest cannot be resolved

    - Line breakpoint:MixListView [line: 227] - 
     doMixSearch(String)
    - The method setMarkerList(List) from the type 
     DataHandler is deprecated

....
 android manifest :     - No grammar constraints (DTD or XML 
     schema) detected for the document.

Is there a problem with my compiler or the I am working on wrong source code or 
I import them in the wrong way. 

I don't need to mention that I am a quite fresh starter with Java and android 
programing

Saeid
