Downloads

In this section different libraries and demo applications are provided. The demo applications can be downloaded directly to your mobile phone. See the mobile download site http://dev.aloqa.com/m for more details.
If you want to develop your own location-based services, simply download the library for your target platform and start coding using our APIs.
By download the libraries or examples you are accepting the Terms of Services.

  • New: Java API for J2ME capable phones v1.1
    A lot of mobile devices support J2ME, so perhaps the best library to start with. If the target devices do not provide the Java Location API (JSR 179), which is used by default, you can implement your own position provider or simply let your users manually set the location.

  • New: Java API for Android v1.1
    You want to develop your own mobile application for the next generation mobile phones? Our library even extends the functionalities of the sophisticated android platform. All you have to do is add this library to your project and start coding.

  • New: Demo Client for J2ME phones v1.1
    You want to try out the demo application on your mobile? After installing the midlet, you can access this position data of your mobile via our APIs. Try out our Ajax Demo with Google Maps! Also don't miss the tutorial describing the demo application.

Documentation of APIs

Here you find the whole documentation of the provided Aloqa TraX APIs. The web service API will be released soon.

  • Ajax API
    You want to develop a location-based service and integrate it with your web site? Then take the Aloqa TraX JavaScript API and build your own location-based mash-up without needing to setup an own server or to deal with positioning and transport of location data.

  • Java API
    You want to develop your own mobile application for e.g. J2ME, Symbian or Android phones? Then have a look at the Aloqa TraX Java API, which is available as software library and provides you with an easy and powerful interface.

Examples

These examples were all implemented using the Aloqa TraX JavaScript API, giving you an overview of the different application domains being supported. If you have created your own application, send us a link to your web page via email (support@aloqa.com) and we add it to this list.
