The minimum time is simply that: you will not be informed of a location update until the minimum time has elapsed from the previous update.

[android-beginners] Question about requestLocationUpdates()
Hello, I have two questions regarding this call: Example Call: locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, locationListener); 1. After making this call, does it actually wait for the location provider(gps in the above example) to complete the location update THEN call the listener you give it? In other words, if I'm in my locationListener() because the above call sent us there, will the information be current? 2. The second argument is the "minTime". If I put a value in there, will it request location updates automatically based on the time i give it OR does it just mean that it won't update locations until the timer has expired to prevent battery drain, etc? Bonus Question: I can get my gps provider to work in the emulator, but I can't get the "network" provider to work. In fact, when I list all providers, only gps is in there. Does the emulator not have the network provider available? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Re: SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device
One possibility is that the emulator is a 32-bit program that expects to use the 32-bit libX11 shared library. You might want to install this if you run on a 64-bit system.

[android-beginners] Re: Receiving Changes to the Phone state
Hi Zsolt, I had understood that by prefixing my BroadcastReceiver with '.', Android would look in my default namespace (i.e. I'd get "com.technicana.customercontact." for free). Is this correct? I am wondering whether my complete lack of any activity or service in my manifest is preventing things operating correctly.
