preOpenStack:

--- this is a hacked up version of what I use. It should be close.
It compiles but not tested. I have to see if this needs some tweaks using
the new Android permission model.

Subject: finding location on mobile device
I am trying to find my current lat/long on my android device. I have played
around with multiple options including "mobileCurrentLocation" and others.
I have not been able to find an example of code that does it and works.
What I want to do is push a button, have the lat/long displayed so as I can
then "feed" it into a map widget for display. Does anyone have an example
of code that does just that? Thanks. Mike
