I'm using this code to find my current location. But if I'm at home it can't locate me. But google maps and another similar applications can locate me although I'm at home. What is difference?

I am looking for a tutorial that explains the logic for fast, robust location finding.Basically I am sick of Google Maps finding my location so incredibly fast and accurately while my own application struggles to get a location.I would be fine with pseudo code responses and I will explain what I am doing so maybe I can be shown what I am doing wrong.
1. Get the locationManager object.
2. Do a 'get best provider' call.
3. Get a list of all available providers.
4. lm.requestLocationUpdates(bestProvider, 0, 0, this); hit the location provider as much as I can to get my first signal
5. Send a delayed message.If a location cannot be found in 10 seconds, switch to a different provider and try again with lm.requestLocationUpdates(nextProvider, 0, 0, this);
6. Repeat step 5 until I have a location.
7. Once a location is found determine if it is the most accurate provider.If it is not try again with the most accurate provider on an 8 second delay.If it is the most accurate provider then set lm.requestLocationUpdates(currentProvider, 30000, 0, this); to conserve battery
8. Make sure to lm.removeUpdates(this); before changing the requestLocationUpdates
Now it occurs to me that it may be possible to iterate through my list of providers and do requestLocationUpdates for all providers at once.Is this a viable option or can you only listen to one provider at a time?I have seen that location from onLocationChanged has getProvider()to let you know who provided the location information so that I can know which provider is actually finding a signal and turn off the others.
I have the problem like this. Basically i want to find my present location's latitude and longitude .It is showing in emulator which is default one which points to Sanjose,usa.But it is not finding my current location(i am in Hyderabad,India).When i try to run the same application in My HTC magic (Android os 1.5) it is showing NULL.It is Not finding my present location. hat i have to do.is there need of Network provider like Mobile network(Vodafone,airtel etc) I am sending my code,Please check it and send me the working code if any body have,Please i need it urgently. Please Help me regarding this.

I'm running my GPS when Maps is used...rather than a triangulation method w/ the towers. However...there have been QUITE a few occurances where Latitude shows me in a totally different STATE. I live in metro Atlanta, but apparently, I spend a lot of time at a country club near DFW in Texas. Once, I was going down the road...started up Maps, and it was tracing me going up an interstate in a city 120 miles away from me. At the time, I was no where NEAR an interstate...but Maps was showing my movement second by second.
This is rather irritating. Google developed the O/S, they developed Latitude...yet Latitude seems to work fine on other phones OTHER than the G1. Upon reading up on Google's Help Forums...I'm not the only one with problems when it comes to Latitude and Android.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a mapping app using Eclipse 3.5.I'm setting the minimum update period with the LocationManager's requestLocationUpdates method, via a configuration activity. When I set the property I see in Logcat that the system process sets the value OK.When I actually send a new location from the DDMS emulator control and the location changes on the map view, I see that the system process then sets the minimum time to zero.Below is a capture of the system's log messages. You can see that I'm setting the period to 32 seconds, then 16, then, after I've sent a simulated location change the system sets it to zero.The map responds to location changes to location changes instantly even if they are sent only a couple of seconds apart.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my application I have to fetch the current location. First it correctly fetches the location. But we are moving from the current location to some other location. It shows the previous address. It is not updating the location. My code is: locManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); locListener = new MyLocationListener();locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager .GPS_PROVIDER ,0,0,locListener); location = locManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);if(location != null){latitude = location.getLatitude();longitude = location.getLongitude();} Please find the mistake and when i launch first time it is not working on second time itself it is working so check this thing also.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application which uses the network as the location provider (rather than GPS eg.), however I can't seem to figure out how to send the emulator test coordinates. In DDMS I would usually send coordinates in the Emulator Control tab.Is there a place to simulate coordinates derived from the cell phone network provider?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to override the method enableMyLocation() in MyLocationOverlay class, in order to implement my own positioning algorithm to get latitude/longitude, and then plot them onto a MapView. I figured out how to do that, but now I'm stuck because I dont know what Canvas to pass when I call the method drawMyLocation().
Here is the MyLocationOverlay class
The way we are retrieving locations from our Android phones is to 1st get a Coarse Location followed by a Fine Location. This is for the case where the user may be inside a building initially and unable to track satellites. After we get our coarse location we transition to a fine location to track satellites. This method has been working fine for several months. We recently upgraded to 1.5 and our mapping application, to my recollection continued to work.For the past couple of days we have not been able to get a coarse location and we are receiving a status message in the onStatusChange callback of.We have re- installed previous versions our code that used 1.1 and we are receiving the same status message of .TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE. Other than the obvious description of the constant, we can find no meaningful information.

I think this was caused when I ran a location spoofing program on only one of my devices, one of the locations I set it to was Spain (among others).
I've tried clearing the data for the Network Location apps, changing the SSID on my router with no luck.
The only way it shows the correct location is when I go outside and run Google maps long enough to get a GPS fix. But when I go back inside I am back in Spain!

Nexus 7 with my google account
Galaxy S3 with my google account

Is there any way to specify the time intervals that the Location Manager broadcasts the current location?
I am using a method called startListening:

I've found bits and pieces of this answer scattered through other posts, but I wanted to record it here for others.How can I simply request the user's GPS and/or Network location and, if they haven't enabled the service, prompt them to do so?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow could I fix the location which appears on the clock on the home screen and serves as weather forecast location? I am not living near a big city listed on the weather location list and when at home, the current location usually is indicated some dozen miles away from my home. This could be a cosmetic problem, but in the Alps (where I am living) weather a short distance away can be quite different from where you are.
Besides that, it would be nice to know the weather at home while beeing abroad.
i've had my phone about 3 weeks now. up until last week, the htc weather widget would update to my current location. when i was home, it would show the town i live in. i also had the google internet option to use my location and this would also work perfectly until last sunday.now, the weather location was stuck on miami no matter where i went (as far north as west palm beach) and the internet shows up 'location unavailable'. i have found out that the gps is picking up where i am in goggle maps but it seems that the cell towers are not as far as weather and internet location are concerned. i have tried all of the obvious settings.i did a factory reset and now my weather says ft lauderdale which is closer to me but still not my town. it does not update (manually either) as i move. the internet location still says location unavailable although for a fleeting minute after the factory reset, it DID locate me....then it was gone so i called verizon, they didn't have a clue. then i took it to the store and it turns out EVERY phone the tech tried in the store had the same problem, including his. he told me it was a google problem and there was nothing he could do about it. i felt if i tried explaining how that would make it a verizon problem as well, it would be a losing battle

For instance we bowl 2 nights a week in a league and he enters in what he did that frame every frame. The app breaks down how often you leave splits, throw strikes, pick up a certain pin. I was wondering if there is anything like that for the droid. I dont feel like spending 200 on a ipod touch to get this. I have looked for many hours and found nothing..

I am having problems with the quick search feature. I did a random search for Mcdonalds and a map pulls up that is no where around me. I clicked update location but it says my location is unavailable. I have GPS enabled and my navigation app works just fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy current phone is a Behold, KRZR before that, and a Kyocera SOHO before that. I really like the Behold, it is by far the best phone I have used to date. But it is time for a change. I'm looking for a touchscreen phone with WiFi and Android and I don't want a data plan.
Requirements:
1) Touchscreen (no slider)
2) Android, preferably 2.2 or confirmed update in pipeline (or ability to root & update)
3) No Data Plan (I'm not willing to pay $30/month for something I won't often use)
4) WiFi
5) Fast processor, 800mhz or faster
6) Camera w/flash Possibilities:
1) Because I don't want data, I don't need 3g, so I could run an AT&T phone.
2) I am willing to root a phone, as long as the process is reasonably well explained in a how-to.
3) I am not looking for a new contract and am willing to pay outright for the phone.
4) If there is a phone that will work, I am willing to consider a phone not sold in the US, if I can get it on eBay or elsewhere. Remember, no data, no 3g, so that might open a few doors.
Can someone confirm or let me know if it's a problem with my setup where the 0.9 eclipse plugin will complain about not finding the SDK even if the workspace has no Android projects in it? I work on a few projects and many of them don't have Android apps involved, so it's a little annoying to get the popup on every single workspace.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have searched the forum for GPS but find nothing so I am posting here, move if the wrong place. I have a VZ Droid and find that the phone service has to be turned on before the GPS will find any satellites. The fix will continue to hold if I switch to Air mode so the phone is not needed after initialization.
Google has been good enough to give us European maps but if a phone service is needed to initialize the GPS the location function etc will not work in Europe. I had planed on taking the Droid to Italy next year but it looks as if it will be useless. Any workaround or is my phone "broken"?
How do I LIST all the INTENTS supported by all the activities(all applications as well) in the Phone.

Is there a place where I can go and find lists of apps that I can download as apk's and then install using Astro File Manager? Would also be great if someone actually had a link to the Sickipedia apk. Everything I have found in Google so far directs me to a link for the Android Market but the particular app doesn't exist there anymore.
