[android-developers] Re: Android on device GPS locate not working - code included
Our application also use GPS and it works as well as the maps application,
and we tested it on the G1.
Did you call requestUpdates on the LocationManager ?
2008/11/7 Amir [EMAIL PROTECTED]
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

Thanks, I'm still having issues, but now I do see the GPS 'icon' as

that I
don't get anything on the map through our online site...no
longitude
and latitude, or anything else.
Here's the revised code I'm using:
package org.gw.service;

import android.location.Location;

public class LocationService extends AService {
LocationManager lm = null;
Location loc = null;
public int excute() {

loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(gps);
if(loc == null)
loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(network);
double sLatitude = loc.getLatitude();
double sLongitude = loc.getLongitude();
String location = sLatitude+,+sLongitude;
//location = 40.738412973944534,-73.98468017578125;

In this case if the GPS service does not have a fix or is switched

Amir,
I've developed a similar app just for kicks (so the wife can keep

I did the following:
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(gps);
if (loc == null)
{
locType = Network;
loc = lm.getLastKnownLocation(network);
}
In this case if the GPS service does not have a fix or is switched
off, the network, though not as accurate as GPS should be active and
give you an approximate location.
All the best,

And you must see the sky for the GPS to work.
Your code and permissions seem correct, try using the network provider
to test (which is faster and work in buildings unlike the GPS).
Make sure GPS location provider is enabled on the phone settings.
You can check your location with the standard map application.
