Hi everyone,
I'm developing an app which makes use of the GPS and I am not able to
get a fix. Some useful facts that might help:
- The device is running Android 2.1.
- GPS is obviously enabled through the device settings, actually the
icon shows up on the notification bar.
- GPS works fine when using other apps like Google Maps, it gets a fix
after just a few seconds.
- The app has all the neccesary permissions defined in the manifest,
such as ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_GPS.
Some code:
public boolean start_gps(){
boolean started = false;
try{
if(!gpsStarted){
location_manager = location_manager == null ?
(LocationManager)
getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE) : location_manager;
if (location_manager != null)
{
location_manager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
scanTimer, 0, location_listener);
}
gpsStarted = true;
Toast.makeText(PFCLocatorApp.this,
R.string.message_gps_on,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
started = true;
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//notify_error(e);
}
return started;
}
ScanTimer's value depends on the app's settings but I've also tried
with a fixed value and it does not work either. Also location_listener
is properly defined. I have tried to show another Toast just after the
call to requestLocationUpdates() and it shows up too, so I know the
code is actually executed.
I think I'm not missing anything, hope someone can help me because
it's driving me crazy. If you need any further
Thank you so much in advance.
