Accept annotations from intents

[apple314159]

I'm interested in generating annotations from a different program and sending an intent to gpslogger. I would like any feedback on this proposal and if there is interest I can send a pull request.

The reason for using another app to generate annotations is to separate the acquisition of annotations from GPS logic. I can see generating annotations from external events or devices.

That sounds nice and very useful. It could also make it useful as part of Tasker integration.

You can have a look at some of the logic here; basically if an annotation is set then the next point that gets logged will have that annotation against it. If an annotation is set but the app isn't logging, it will start logging and annotate the point and then stop logging (LogSinglePoint)

I created a "pull request" that add the following intents:

setnextpointdescription:(text)
setprefercelltower:(true|false)
settimebeforelogging:(number)
setdistancebeforelogging:(number)
setkeepbetweenfix:(true|false)
setretrytime:(number)
setabsolutetimeout:(number)

Tested it with tasker ("Misc/Send Intent" with Action: "com.mendhak.gpslogger.GpsLoggingService", Target: "Service", Extra 1/2 : "setnextpointdescription:My Description").
