Hello Android

Progress this week was geared towards ramping up the Android application. I started with reading the documentation linked in comments on my previous blog post by Mike. I also set up the Android environment and ran through several basic Android tutorials. Using what I learned from the documentation and tutorials, I have made a basic app that displays the camera feed on the screen of an Android phone.

Next steps will be to read raw orientation and acceleration data from hardware sensors. There should also be some time devoted to developing a UI and building functionality to allow querying of Google's Directions API to get navigation directions from the user's current position.
