Basic locations saving

[kirillt]

ARK Globe must be able to save locations into a folder (should be able to set default folder in settings).

The format is flexible. It can be JSON containing coordinates, description and maybe other metadata.

ARK Globe must be able to add coordinates by:

1. manually pressing a button and providing the input;
2. receiving sharing intent from other apps like Google Maps or OSM.

The input can be one of these:

1. plain text coordinates;
2. a URL to common web sites for working with geo-data, e.g. Google Maps or OSM.
   In case of URL, it must be parsed and converted into numerical coordinates.
   Plain text input must be validated.

User must be able to provide name and description to any location. Folder for saving the data must be possible to be configured by user. This shared component must be used for choosing it.

ARK Navigator should be able to process saved files.

In the issue you 'mentioned' you said that Globe should be a dedicated app. How do you expect it to integrate it with Navigator?

@janmaslo sorry for late response.

... you said that Globe should be a dedicated app. How do you expect it to integrate it with Navigator?

Right now, we use Navigator for navigating through all resources, which could be created by other our apps like Shelf or Globe. Since those "creating" apps save resources as plain files, we just pick them up in Navigator. There must be no discrepancies in file format on writing and reading sides, of course. Navigator is reading side. We are going to add all resource formats into our Rust library which is already injected into Navigator and will be injected into "creating" apps as well.

We might also create Android service for folders and indexing as mentioned here, which would share paths and ids data with all our apps:

Development of this idea would be separating Folders screen into dedicated app/service, keeping all known .ark folders and providing folder picker with data about user's content folders.
