I need to be able to pull GPS on cell phones and connect it to some sort of front end. The front end part needs to generate random codes every so often that change unless they are activated (part of activation is deciding how long they will be activated) and be able to use those codes to fetch the GPS data from the cell phones.

Is this an incredibly difficult project? I'm not a coder and am basically trying to hack this together to create a prototype.

Greatly appreciate any help!

This seems like a pretty easy project:
- look for basic app example code ( eg. "hello world app android" on google/youtube)
- modify this app to display the location data ( eg. https://developer.android.com/traini...e-current.html )

If you're not familiar with swdev, getting everything configured might be a bit intimidating.

very straightforward connection - lotsa APIs and scripts out there you can connect to. should be fairly easy to implement.
