Hi,
I am having some difficulties with the Geolocation API in Javascript. It works
very well in the following cases:
- On a PC with Chrome, Opera and Safari (not tested with IE)
- On Windows Mobile phone with IE
- On Android mobile with Opera (not tested on an iPhone)
But it is not working with Firefox on PC and especially with the default
browser on Android. I have a Samsung Galaxy S LC (equivalent to Galaxy S1)
Here is my code (standard API Geoloc):
> <body>
>
>
>> We need your location.
>
>
>> <script type="text/javascript">
>
> // attempting to retrieve the GPS location
>
>
>> document.write("Trying to retrieve your location");
>
>
>> if(navigator.geolocation){
>
> document.write("Geolocation is supported");
>
> navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successCallback, errorCallback,
>
> {
>
> enableHighAccuracy : true,
>
> timeout : 5000,
>
> maximumAge : 0
>
> }
>
> );
>
> function successCallback(position){
>
> document.write("You have been located. Latitude : " +
>> position.coords.latitude +", longitude : " + position.coords.longitude);
>
> };
>
> function errorCallback(error){
>
> document.write("We coulnd't get your location");
>
> switch(error.code){
>
> case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
>
> document.write("Permission Denied");
>
> break;
>
> case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
>
> document.write("Position unavailable");
>
> break;
>
> case error.TIMEOUT:
>
> document.write("Timeout");
>
> break;
>
> case error.UNKNOW_ERROR:
>
> document.write("Unknown error");
>
> break;
>
> }
>
> }
>
> }
>
> else{
>
> document.write("La géolocalisation n'est pas supportée par le navigateur");
>
> }
>
>
>>
>>
>>
>> </script>
>
>
>> </body>
>

What's going on with the Android default browser:
1. The following messages appear:
" Trying to retrieve your location "
"Geolocation is supported"
2. After the time specified by the timeout (10s here) the page becomes all
white.
The functions sucessCallback or errorCallback are not called.
I then tried trough a Webview but it does the same.
Thank you very much for your help.
