I have an idea of controlling the track recording via some Bluetooth or wired device e.g. a headset. If there is a unified "simple button device" even better. The reason is simple: I regularly use Locus to log parts of my off-road bike trips, flying activities and similar higher risk activities where I cannot concentrate to look to the handheld or even put my hands off the steering while I do not want to log the entire trip. If a user could pause and restart the recording remotely it would be a great tool to spread the Locus usage options. Do you think it is a realistic wish? What have to be done to implement such function? I am even capable of sponsoring such function (but hey, I am not a millionaire :-))
Menion: if you are interested, I can write to you a PM in Czech too.

Why don't you get gloves that can control touch screens? ;)
gloves for touch screens
Another possibilty would be the integration with Tasker. Just an idea, because tasker can control anything on your phone on. Probably there is a solution for pressing a button on a bluetooth device to start/stopp track recording with the Locus API.
Last option to think about are some game controllers. Don't laugh :D
For example, you could try the WiiMote or the Zeemote .
Hope I could give you some inspiration...

Tasker integration is what I'd like to see. That would be great!

Is anyone willing to try control over intents?
I just added to Locus API ability to control track recording. Here http://code.google.com/p/android-locu... on line 111, are four Broadcast Intents. Parameters that allow to control track recording in Locus. I'm not familiar with tasker, but these parameters works over Locus API and if tasker is able to send broadcast intents, it should work also.
For testing, you'll need this testing version

Let me know, I'm quite curious :)
