[android-developers] Re: Cannot Retrieve Latitude and Longitude without Internet Connection
Thanks for the reply.. Now I am clear. thanks On May 13, 11:40 am, ellipsoidmob...@googlemail.com ellipsoidmob...@googlemail.com wrote: I believe the NETWORK_PROVIDER does require Internet access, because it sends details about cell towers (and possibly wifi hotspots) within range to a server and gets an approximate lat/long in return. In other words, Android does not contain internally a complete database of the locations of all of the cell towers in the world. I think it should work with any Internet connection - e.g. 3G or GPRS should work as well as WiFi --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Cant get Latitude and Longitude without Internet Connection
Hi all, I am having problem in getting the latitude and longitude on my phone.. Case: i created an application that only display the Toast that display the latitude and longitude once i request it to. using the LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, instead of gps. And when I try it on my G1, everything was fine when i am connected to the internet. but when i disconnect G1 from WiFi, the application cant get the latitude and longitude anymore.. The onLocationChanged() is not triggered anymore, instead, onStatusChanged() is triggered.. And I get TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE error.. So what i want to ask is :Is internet connection required to retrieve the coordinate ONLY? Note that I dont use any maps or visual representation of my location. All I do was to get the latitude and longitude. Or do i need to add any extra stuff? As for the permission these are the ones I used, even though I doubt that the INTERNET permission is needed.. android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION android.permission.INTERNET Anyone has any thought?

Hi all, I am having problem in getting the latitude and longitude on my phone.. So i create an application that only display the Toast once i request it to. using the LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, instead of gps. And I try it on my G1.. I found out that if the G1 is connected to my WiFi, i can get the coordinate of my position, without any problem.. once i turn off the WiFi of the phone. The onLocationChanged() is not triggered anymore, instead, onStatusChanged() is triggered.. And I get TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE error.. So what i want to ask is :Is internet connection required to retrieve the coordinate ONLY? Note that I dont use any maps or visual representation of my location.
