Dear Daniel,

no, the steps you described are not correct. Below the steps required:

  * competitors code their own positioning app
  * competitors integrates the positioning app with StepLogger (or
    StepLoggerV2). The integration can be done with the AIDL file by
    implementing 1 single method named |logPosition(in long timestamp,
    in double x,||in double y, in double z);|
      o The positioning app only computes the position and it invokes
        the |logPosition| method twice per second
      o StepLogger is in charge of generating the files
        buttonsPressed.log and positions.log. In particular:
          + StepLogger reads the INI file named
            /it.cnr.isti.steplogger.config.ini /and it shows a sequence
            of buttons with a label
          + as soon as you press the button, StepLogger writes a new
            entry to positions.log and a new label is shown.

Therefore:

  * your position app computes the position and invokes the method named
    |logPosition(...)|
  * ||StepLogger generates the log files (buttonsPressed.log and
    positions.log)

You can also watch the video available here

looks like.

Let me know
