Thanks for a response ! As nobody else has anything to say I'm stumped ;-) Is it possible Google is blocking location services based on my ip's geographic location (e.g. Australia) when using the emulator ?
To repeat myself, I've tested it on AVDs: 2.1 & 2.2 using both API level 7 & 8. 2.1 Level 7 Emulation only lists GPS support 06-08 17:30:38.330: DEBUG/LocationManager(197): getAllProviders 06-08 17:30:38.330: VERBOSE/TripStart(197): Listing supported providers 06-08 17:30:38.341: VERBOSE/TripStart(197): ....gps supported 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): isProviderEnabled got exception: 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: provider=network 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): at com.android.server.LocationManagerService._isProviderEnabledLocked(LocationManagerService.java: 1385) 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): at com.android.server.LocationManagerService.isProviderEnabled(LocationManagerService.java: 1359) 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): at android.location.ILocationManager $Stub.onTransact(ILocationManager.java:237) 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:287) 06-08 17:30:38.351: ERROR/LocationManagerService(64): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method) 2.2 Level 8 Emulation 05-31 01:49:14.990: VERBOSE/TripStart(311): Listing supported providers 05-31 01:49:14.990: VERBOSE/TripStart(311): ....network supported 05-31 01:49:14.990: VERBOSE/TripStart(311): ....passive supported 05-31 01:49:14.990: VERBOSE/TripStart(311): ....gps supported 05-31 01:50:14.421: VERBOSE/TripStart(311): java.io.IOException: Service not Available The app works on an HTC Desire but its a pain to develop & debug without the above emulator functionality.
