Tracking a mobile number using GPS

I am trying to develop an application in android using eclipse . This application is like finding the friend location and directions using android mobile .

Now my idea to do this is in three steps : 1. tracing the mobile number of friend if he is having the GPS connectivity . 2. then putting that location(latitude, longitude) in Google maps with your location . 3. Google maps gives us the directions and this way we get it (using Google Map key ).

2nd and 3rd steps are done but the I am not able to figure out how to do the 1st part .

IMHO the easiest and best way is to

  1. generate a uniqueID per install.
  2. read the location of that user at some regular interval
  3. and posting the GPS coordinates to your server from the client application.

The user that you want to track needs to install and run an application, that regularly posts the GPS coordinates to your server.

There is no direct support for Step 1, due to obvious reasons.

I would suggest that you use a more legitimate way, by using the Google Latitude api.
