I'm working on an app which only requires approximate location, so naturally, I've requested this in my manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/> This works fine on an actual device (G1), but on the emulator, I can't find a way to get any location data. Not only is there no NETWORK_PROVIDER, but requesting an ACCURACY_COARSE provider returns null: final LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); final Criteria criterion = new Criteria(); criterion.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_COARSE); String provider = lm.getBestProvider(criterion, false); And when working from this manifest, even requesting *any* provider returns an empty list: final LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); final List<String> providers = lm.getProviders(false); Which tells me that the emulator has no coarse location provider at all. My code works fine if I use android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and send a mock location through DDM, no problems there. And of course, a workaround is to keep it like that during development, and only switch over to ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION for release. But I'd really like to avoid that step - it's a PITA, I have little doubt that I'll forget to do it someday. :^/ Thanks for any ideas, String --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
