Understood and fixed, now onStart is called nowhere in my app.
Here is where my code currently stands, and i can still button mash it.
I am starting to wonder if this will happen on the actual hardware.
gps_init_alt_bld =
new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
gps_init_alt_bld.setMessage(
"GPS Not Initialized Yet.")
.setCancelable(
false)
.setPositiveButton(
"Check GPS Status Again.", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
((AlertDialog)
dialog).getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setEnabled(false);
*
boolean* done_once = *false*;
*
if*(!done_once)
{
if (latitude == 0 || longitude == 0)
{
gps_initialized=
false
;
dialog.dismiss();
main();
}
else
{
gps_initialized=
true;
dialog.dismiss();
main();
}
}
}
});
