GPS for HanDBase Plugin – Capture GPS Coordinates in your HanDBase for Android Database

You will need to have a Form in your HanDBase database for this to work properly. I was unable to make it so that Tasker and therefore the GPS for HanDBase plugin could enter the data into a standard Edit Record screen. For now, the form needs to be called “GPS Data”. Later in this article will be links to download the plugin as well as a sample HanDBase database with an example form that has the name “GPS Data”. You can Install this HanDBase database and Form and then Copy the form to any database you need to use it in. You will need the HanDBase Forms add-on for HanDBase on your Android device, or the HanDBase Professional or Enterprise Add-On for your Desktop to be able to copy this form to your Database.

Requirements
Android Device with Android OS Version 4.1(Jellybean) or Higher.
HanDBase for Android (In-App Purchase)
HanDBase Forms Add-on for Android
OR
HanDBase Professional or Enterprise Add-on for your computer.
Enable installation of apps from Unknown Sources

You will need the HanDBase Forms Add-on on your Android device or in the Professional or Enterprise Add-on for your computer so you can copy the included form to your Database, or create your own form.

You will need to enable installation of Apps from Unknown Sources because this app is not being installed from the Google Play store. I looked into adding this Plugin into the Google Play store but they wanted $25 to register an account. I promise I’m not doing anything in the Plugin to compromise your security though. You should be able to do this by going to Settings –> Security and checking the option for Unknown Sources there. You should be able to disable this after intalling the GPS for HanDBase Plugin without affecting the plugin.

Your device will need to have the Android OS Version 4.1(Jellybean) or higher because this app requires you to enable it in the Accessibility settings. This has not been tested on devices with older versions of the OS. If there is enough interest I can see if this will work on older devices.
