python tips: python scripting on android and remotecontrol

* Overview
SL4A(Script Layer for Android) enables you to execute several script language (such as python, ruby, ...) on your android devices. Today I tried to SL4A and remotecontrol which enables you to remotely execute python code from your non-android computer (such as linux, windows...).

- SL4A installation steps are introduced here
- RemoteControl setup steps are described here
- SL4A API is also described here

* Get location and geocode from android device (RemoteControl)
