if the environment = "mobile" then if mobileSensorAvailable("location") then mobileStartTrackingSensor "Location", false end if end if ----------- this is a hacked up version of what I use. It should be close. It compiles but not tested. I have to see if this needs some tweaks using the new Android permission model. function GetGpsCords -- returns -- Got fix: An array with ["latitude"] and ["longitude"] -- Bad lock: empty -- Permission issues: empty -- Not yet "retry" local tGPS if not (the environment = "mobile") then put 45.338960434184 into tGPS["latitude"] put -74.6840746841539 into tGPS["longitude"] return tGPS else put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into tGPS if tGPS["latitude"] is not empty and tGPS["longitude"] <> 0 then wait .25 seconds -- needed this in the past sometimes on first location fix put mobileSensorReading("location", true) into tGPS end if if tGPS["latitude"] is not empty and tGPS["longitude"] <> 0 then return tGPS else local tGPStext switch the platform case "iphone" -- see what the iOS permisstion status is put "Location Services" into tGPStext switch mobileLocationAuthorizationStatus() case "authorizedWhenInUse" case "authorizedAlways" answer tGPStext && "can't determine your location." & cr & \ "If your" && tGPStext && "was just enabled, please try again in a few minutes." \ with "OK" titled "Proximity Search" return empty break case "denied" case "restricted" answer "App is not authorized to access"&&tGPStext &"." & cr & \ "In Settings, please select" && quote & "While Using the App" "e && "in" && quote&"Location Services" & quote && "in this app's settings" \ with "OK" titled "Proximity Search" return empty break case "notDetermined" if mobileSensorAvailable("location") then mobileStartTrackingSensor "Location", false return "Retry" end if return empty break default answer tGPStext && "can't determine your location." & cr & \ "If your" && tGPStext && "was just enabled, please try again in a few minutes." \ with "OK" titled "Proximity Search" return empty end switch break default put "GPS" into tGPStext answer tGPStext && "can't determine your location." & cr & \ "If your" && tGPStext && "was just enabled, please try again in a few minutes." \ with "OK" titled "Proximity Search" return empty end switch end if end if end GetGpsCords Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Mike for GDC via use-livecode Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 3:06 PM To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Cc: Mike for GDC Subject: finding location on mobile device I am trying to find my current lat/long on my android device. I have played around with multiple options including "mobileCurrentLocation" and others. I have not been able to find an example of code that does it and works. What I want to do is push a button, have the lat/long displayed so as I can then "feed" it into a map widget for display. Does anyone have an example of code that does just that? Thanks.
