To refresh my skills and produce something useful I have been using a IDE called Basic4Android to develop a simple Android app to act as an anchor watch on our boat by monitoring the GPS and sending SMS if more than the specified amount of movement occurs.The prototype was finished today after about 5 days effort, starting from scratch.  It was a bit tricky getting to grips with the Android events for the first time having been used to applications that do not get shut down at the whim of the operating system.
