Class ImportGPSData

java.lang.Object

GPS.ImportGPSData

public class ImportGPSData
extends java.lang.Object

Class to take external GPS data and record in a database table. Developers should be able to easily add functions to load data the simply add to the switch statement in the doInBackground() function of the ImportGPSThread. Inside the function, the ImportGPSThread should be updated with load progress. Everything else should then just work.
