Just upgraded my phone firmware to 1.6, and it looks like Location objects don't have satellite counts in them any more:
locMan = (LocationManager)con.getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location loc = locMan.getLastKnownLocation (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); Bundle extraBundle = loc.getExtras();
extraBundle is null. So, I can't call
extraBundle.getInt("satellites").

I am trying to use Android's LocationManager requestLocationUpdates. Everything is working until I try to extract the actual location object that in my broadcast receiver. Do I need to specifically define the "extras" to my custom intent so that the Android LocationManager before I pass it to requestLocationUpdates so it knows how to add it into the intent, or will it create the extras-bundle regardless when it passes the fired intent to the broadcast receiver?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anybody had the same issue with GPS as I did. When I launched Locations first time, it found the satelite very fast. Now it almost cannot find a satelite to update my location. I wrote almost, because once it did manage, but that was once in at least twenty tries. Do you have any idea how to check if the radio is ok. I read somewhere that one should try with master reset of the phone. If so, would it be enough to backup my data with Titanium backup and option "Backup all users apps + system data" and restore it later on? Will that make a full restore of my phone or do I have to backup some additoial data? Like, what will happend to my personalize data, apps passwords etc.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI rooted and installed the gumbo kernel and fresh 1.1 yesterday. Everything went smooth. The only problem I have noticed is that the browsers can no longer access my location. I put the location service back on the phone but no luck. When I go to a site like buzz or access the google home page it can't get my location. Any advice on this? Not a huge deal but I know it worked with the default browser beforehand and doesn't now. I've noticed when I use something that needs GPS the gps icon appears but it doesn't stay there all the time.

I set the coordinates to 25N 71W for all apps with access to location information. I configured this across all apps requesting GPS as well as Network Location data. I then fired up my browser and navigated to google maps. The location shown was my actual physical location. What gives?
FTR, I'm willing to follow instructions and experiment to determine the root cause of the problem. I didn't want to give too many unnecessary details in my initial post. My strategy is "start general, get more specific as needed."

Is it possible to use bundle and save the data in OnPause() lifecycle method? The scenario is i have 2 edit text and have entered some data i want to retain the data when the activity is killed and started again. his can be achieved using onSaveInstanceState() but as documentation says, this method is not a lifecycle method and hence the callback is not guaranteed. So i wanted to know if there is a way to save it using Bundle in onPause().
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm well aware of onSaveInstanceState(Bundle b) and the corresponding onCreate and onRestore. What I want to do is persist the bundle somewhere simple where I'll only ever have one at a time. The functionality is to be able to resume a game from its previously stored state - not to be confused with restoring the activity during its lifecycle. I want to restore it AFTER it's been destroyed (think of turning the phone on and having a button on the game that says, "resume last game". My thoughts are that if I can just persist the bundle that I normally use for the instance state, then I should be able to reload it later upon user request. I don't want to use a provider because they seem way too over the top for what I'm doing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like to serialize a Bundle object, but can't seem to find a simple way of doing it. Using Parcel doesn't seem like an option, since I want to store the serialized data to file. Any ideas on ways to do this? The reason I want this is to save and restore the state of my activity, also when it's killed by the user. I already create a Bundle with the state I want to save in onSaveInstanceState. But android only keeps this Bundle when the activity is killed by the SYSTEM. When the user kills the activity, I need to store it myself. Hence I'd like to serialize and store it to file. Of course, if you have any other way of accomplishing the same thing, I'd be thankful for that too.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've gone through the Notepad Tutorials and they are all working on my virtual device. I am now stuck in the midst of trying to write my own Android app.
My setup:
Windows 7 SP 1 64-bit
Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2
Android Development Tools 16.0.1.v201112150204-238534
Android Virtual Device Platform 2.3.3, API Level 10, CPU/ABI ARM (armeabi)
The app is about as simple as they come - you enter a number, it divides it by another number and displays the result.Here is the code involved:
AndroidManifest.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.android.driving"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
[code]...
By the time DrivingTimeEstimator's onCreate() method gets executed, the Bundle object (savedInstanceState) is null (which I'm guessing is what leads to mMiles being null, which throws a NullPointerException and kills everything).
it might be a dumb question or in my manual what does the Satellite mean when it appear in task barat the top of the phone.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI got this issue with my SGS2 that I started to get into the running and started to need more of my gps to track my training and Ive noticed this weird behaviour of my gps.. It just wont even search for satellites whenever the 3g is on (you know the alert that says searching for gps).. installed the GPS checker to see if there was no satellites or something but it wont even search for them whenever I have the 3g on.. I found that the GPS works only if I disable the Mobile Data and restart my phone.. So I cant have both at the same time.. the minute I enable the 3g data it stops working and I have all the GPS options checked at the configuration and the wifi 3g assist.. What could be causing this?

My app launches the camera to allow the user to capture a picture. Sometimes this causes the OS will kill my App to free up memory for the camera. Once the picture is taken, my app starts back up where it left off using the Bundle I saved in onSaveInstanceState(). My app had a bug where in the code that restores the state. Is there anyway that I can simulate or test this case to make sure I am restoring correctly now? It seems I am having trouble making this happen when I want to test it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have a MapActivity that runs an asynchtask that occasionally updates what exactly it's displaying on the map (via a string). I originally pass this string in from the intent when the activity is first created. And then if you click on one of the drawables on the map, it opens a new activity, which can then create a new mapview (same class) with a different string setting. The problem I have is that I only want one instance of the mapview to be running at once. Thus I set android:launchmode="singletask" in the manifest. This works in that it brings the mapactivity to the front, but is there any way to send it a new intent bundle to get a new setting for the string it needs? I tried regetting the extras from the bundle, but it seems to retain the old bundle, not the new intent that was passed to it. I'm not sure I want to do startActivityForResult because the 2nd activity may or may not want to update the original activity. I hope that made sense. I can post code if necessary, but I think that should explain my situation.
