OK Android enthusiasts...here's where the GPS story has led us. We
figured out after hard-coding a location via finding latitude and
longitude of my house that the application via the G1 does in-fact
communicate flawlessly with our website.
The issue though is turning on GPS capabilities on the device via
private void updateLocation(Location loc).
Basically, we did notice that when using the "maps" application on the
G1, a 'GPS' icon is presented on the top right side of the phone. We
aren't seeing this through our application and we believe it's because
the function, private void updateLocation(Location loc) never gets
executed...
Any thoughts? Does anyone know what needs to be done to initiate this
function?
Cheers
Amir
