I am trying to guard against them being null. I am getting error reports from users via ACRA that these are returning null sometimes. Hence the safeguard.

But the thing is location can't be null. If it was the app wouldn't have

if (location != null) {
// Update my location marker
positionOverlay.setLocation(location);
Only the does MyPositionOverlay receive location.

As I indicated in your previous thread, if you try to use the overlay
and YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LOCATION YET (caps to ensure you pay
attention), your location variable will be null simply because you
haven't ever had any valid Location to use.
So, as I wrote before, you either need to not set up the overlay until
you actually have a Location, or you need to have more smarts in the
overlay to deal with the null location case.

Re: [android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null
Okay. Maybe I am missing something here but AFAIK the if statement check to
see that location is not equal to null and if that is true (location not
being null)
it passes it on to the Overlay.
Did I get that right?

Correct. But this is not where the crash is.

Precisely - only there does it receive location - otherwise it remains null
(the default for an object) and you don't check for null in your draw()
call. Thus, unless you set a valid Location object in your main activity,
your internal location will remain null and you will crash and burn as you
have already seen when your position overlay goes to draw.

Right. Got it now.
Basically I need to check location for null twice. Once in the Activity and
once in the Overlay.

Re: [android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null
I should probably change it. Seeing as this book has given me more errors than knowledge I think I'd get another one. Maybe one of Mark's. @Mark: Where can I get your book in New Delhi, India? I can't find it at any of the major stores and I don't have any virtual cash or credit card to buy it online. (A small downside of being 14.)

You can use a status bar notification, or implement some sort of
callback (listener) that takes you back to the activity, where you can
e.g. display a dialog:
myObject.setErrorListener(new ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void somethingBadHappened( ) {
// display a dialog, a toast, or call activity.finish() :)
}

Re: [android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null
I think I'll go with Status Bar notification. I might add a form later
asking them whether or not they have a SIM card and ship it as a custom
variable with ACRA. (Only reason I can think of for the null value is a
missing SIM card as I use the cell network for location.)
And before someone tells me that ACRA supports user dialogues. I tried
getting them to work but it didn't show up.

P.S. If I have a method in my Activity to display a toast can I safely

Well, sure, with a valid reference to the Activity. But injecting a
dependency on the Activity into your Overlay to display a toast does not
seem like a great idea.

Re: [android-developers] Comparing getLatitude() and getLongitude() to null
Thanks Mark. I really appreciate all the help all of you have given me so far. I got your books and they are a lot more straightforward than the one I was using so far. I won't forget to sleep. In fact I am going to do it now. It is about 00:30 here in India. Thanks a lot for your help.
