Hi android guys and girls!
I have a really strange problem. I have an activity which displays a map
and a marker with the users current location on that maps.
Right now my code is something like this: (in onCreate of the activity)
1) display a progress dialog with the text "detecting your location,
please wait..."
2) request location updates. (activity implements LocationListener)
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider,
(long)Constants.MIN_TIME, (float)Constants.MIN_DISTANCE, this);
3) right after the line above i have following:
timer.schedule(new GetLastLocation(this), 5000);
which means: wait 5 sec and then call GetLastLocation().run()
GetLastLocation looks like this:
class GetLastLocation extends TimerTask {
private SetupActivity parent;
public GetLastLocation(SetupActivity act) {
parent = act;
}
public void run() {
removeDialog(DIALOG_GET_POSITION);
parent.showMessage();
}
}
So if 5 seconds pass by, i dismiss(remove) the dialog i displayed in 1)
4) now i want to show an AlertDialog with the message "could not find
your location, taking the last known"
parent.showMessage() looks like this:
public void showMessage() {
Log.e("###", "showMessage 1/2");
showDialog(DIALOG_GET_POSITION);
Log.e("###", "showMessage 2/2");
}
and here the first log message "showMessage 1/2" is printed to the log,
but not the second one "showMessage 2/2".
And there is no exception and nothing that tells me what is wrong...
Could someone please help me?
Maybe there is a better way to get he location and if no location is
delivered show a message!
Thankful for every hint,
Anton
