In SDK 1.0 the LocationManager is always reporting the "gps" provider
as disabled:
LocationManager lm = this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
boolean gpsEnabled =
lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
// gpsEnabled == false
According to the Javadocs this value implies that the user has the
disabled the provider in the Settings menu of the handset. I tried
accessing the Setting menu in the Android emulator (Home > Menu >
Settings) but immediately get a pop up window that says "Unsupported
action".
How are you guys enabling the GPS provider to get locations?
