Mission Manager 6.6 - Moble Application API (beta)

It seems to fail when the first clue to be posted is done through the mobile API.

The fix for this has been posted.  It should work OK now.

Works like a charm. Thanks!

Any way that you could make the "Click to Select Mission" button bigger.  I have a catcher's mitt for a hand, and have a hard time getting my finger to catch the button.

Thanks.

Another new API feature has been added:

For GPS locations you can now pass a Date= and Time= to specify the date and time the point was collected.  This way you can collect up a bunch of point when the app is out of cell service and post them all when service returns. 

Note there is also a new error <320>.  This error will be returned if a point is posted too quickly, MM will only accept points every 30 seconds. 

Lastly the ClueTime and ClueDate parameters have been renamed to Time and Date for consistency.

I rolled version 0.6 which adds a setting for a font size. If those are still not big enough, let me know.

Lastly the ClueTime and ClueDate parameters have been renamed to Time and Date for consistency.

Version 0.7 is now compatible with this change.

I am noticing a small problem with the API.  I have just recently begun coding an iPhone app for mission manager and there is no way to lookup all team information simultaneously.  Mission manager will only give you information for the team you are assigned to.  This means the incident commander cannot use an API to pull information about all information for the teams in the field.  Same with a lot of the other API calls it seems.

Mission manager will only give you information for the team you are assigned to.

Hmm... This is by design, not to say it can't change.

The intent of the API was for team members in the field.  It sounds like you are creating an APP for more than just field people?  Can you explain more about what you are building into the app and we'll see if we can give you more API features?

Thanks,
Mike

atucker, just to let you know, SARApp does work on the iPad and on Android tablets in a Beta version and we'll be releasing a new App on the Google Play and iTunes App stores soon that will "officially" allow tablet users to download the App.
