Well, in other words, this whole location manager thing is pretty broken in Android 1.0?
>From what I've read and experienced myself so far, it's pretty much like this: 1) LocationManager cannot be subclassed anymore, instead you use the debug bridge to send location fixes. Unfortunately, this thing is broken in two ways: Firstly, it only works on systems with a US locale (?? sounds odd, but I can definitely tell it does not work for me...), and secondly, the proclaimed "geo" command from the tools/ folder isn't even there...! 2) In order for LocationManager.getLastKnownLocation() to actually work, one has to register a listener, although this may not even what the programmer needs -- I surely don't want it, I want to poll for updates only on well-defined occasions. In fact, I believe this whole location listener thing is a bad idea, because it will result in each and every location-aware Android app running its own ListenForLocationUpdatesService, in order to always have access to the latest known location... yuck. Is that correct so far? If so, I have to say I am pretty much disappointed with the progress Android makes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
