I'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.

I am using a method called startListening:

Has anyone got a good solution when the Location manager returns a null? My brain is baked trying to get around this. I know its just a matter of time but do I need to put in a musical interlude? I'm only asking for Coarse Location. Right now I'm just exiting with a Toast but I would rather have a way to hang around and maybe kick the thing into gear. I'm pretty sure this was one of my force close issues but the Toast is just an escape clause. It doesn't solve the problem.

Should i be reusing the same location manager or should i call (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) for each new activities?
Don't know why, but sometimes LocationManager is still working also after closing application.
I call startGPS() in onCreate-Methode in one Activity (only one, let me call it StartActivity).

And if this activity will be destroyed (so, when application will be closed), I call endGPS()

I run this application on android emulator

In my app I want to obtain a gps lock and record the coords. But I do not want to lock the device into looking for the gps. The user is to be free to traverse through the app and the different activities within.
So If I call a locationListener in activity A, can I reference it in activities B C and D?
if is was still in activity A I could say something like
A.this.mlocListener.removeMyUpdates();
When I am in activity B how can I reference the LocationListener I set up in Activity A
It' so strange about close gps location manager, the gps signal doesn't stop. my code is...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine the city in USA the user is in using their current location from an Android App. I want to use the GPS as the location provider but how accurately can I determine the name of the city from the Locale or Latitude / Longitude data.
For instance I noticed the twitter app determines you are in Manhattan when tweeting from Manhattan, but is it possible to retrieve New York City instead of Manhattan from the location data and likewise Los Angeles instead of Beverly Hills.
This is because all I need to determine is which city the user is in as per the current location.
I have low expectations that this message will get any response as it seems that Google developers do not like to address issues too close to the Android core and to strategic mobility applications. However, as they say, hope is the last to die.
I am really puzzled by the lack of response to queries about issues with some TelephonyManager functions.
Specifically, there have been a number of requests in the past, including mine, about
getNeighboringCellInfo()
As per the link below, getNeighboringCellInfo() is a documented TelephonyManager function available to application developers.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyMan...()
Yet, getNeighboringCellInfo() does not work. Any attempt to call it in an application results in application failure.
What is the problem here? If Google does not want application developers to use this function (I cannot fathom why that would be the case), then please remove it from TelephonyManager, and save all of us time and frustration.
It's really puzzling that for such an open platform Android has so many secrets and rules.
I can't find the ROMs I download. Shouldn't everything download to sdcard/clockworkmod/download/, but from there where? I've clicked on all the folders inside and still can't find Kangerade V4.0.7. I had the same problem with bbv0.4, so I downloaded it on my computer then transferred it to the sd card.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a count down timer that when it goes off (to zero) it checks to see if the app has focus. If not it launches a notification in the notification bar. When you click on the notification is re-opens the app. Now all of this works fine but if the screen happens to go off, the timer keeps going and the notification is available at the right time but never actually vibrates or rings until i turn the screen back on. Then it displays the notification like it was waiting in a queue or something.
How do I get it so that the notification manager will actually alert the user when the screen is turned off?
Update: If I set the timer for 2 minutes, it takes another 2-3 minutes for the notification to actually work. So it does work but it's on a huge delay! Code: So I setup the notification service when the app loses focus, and when the MyCount1 is finished is checks if the app has focus and if not it shows the notification. This all works when the screen backlight is on. Once it goes off it is unreliable.
@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus){
if(hasFocus == false){
mFocusFlag = false;
ns = Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE;
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(ns);
icon = R.drawable.statusbar;
tickerText = "Check the timer!!!";......................................
My app which was working on 2.1 and earlier version fails to run properly in 2.2. It relies on the location but I do not get any error message. However under DDMS /logCat, I see a message saying: Error message while getting the location address: Reason: this service is not available. This is coming more as an information message rather than an exception or error. The process that is printing it out is System.out. Note that I did everything possible ( I can think of) to upgrade the app to run in android 2.2. The API version was changed to 8.
The manifest file contains all the following:-
<uses-library android:name=*"com.google.android.maps"*/>
</application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=*"8"* />
<uses-permission android:name=*"android.permission.INTERNET"*/>
<uses-permission android:name=*"android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"* />
<uses-permission android:name=*"android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"* />
Location based rules dont work. I have GPS checked, and starred but it wont find me. I open up google maps and cell tower triangulation completely sucks. 10 miles off. Now the real question is; Is the dev working on this problem? Should I buy it and hope it gets fixed? The app has alot of potential, but it needs its location fixed bad.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I followed droid-life.com instructions on rooting and installing Froyo FRF57. I'm currently running Froyo but thought it would be nice to upgrade my ROM to Jrummy Kangerade 1.0. So I paid for the premium Rom Manager and have tried doing the backup Rom feature. It reboots my phone and does nothing. No backups appear in Rom manager.
Okay, so I said forget it. I'll just install the ROM. So it goes through the whole process and says it needs to reboot and then nothing happens. It doesn't reboot at all. I try manually rebooting and it doesn't do anything. Is there a trick to make this software start working?
I am trying to install Clock Work Manager on an "AllWinner A10 CPU Cortex A8 1GHz Android 2.3". I have installed Rom Manager and Rom Manager Premium but when I click the install ClockWork thing it sais "confirm your phone type" The phone type listed is "Android B1" After clicking Confirm it comes back and sais its an Unsupported Device at this time and asks if I have manually installed it. I purchased this Tablet on Amazon.
To find it there since I cant post a link Search for this on Amazon.com
Code:
7" A10 CPU Cortex A8 1GHz Android 2.3 UltraThin 5-point Multi-touch Capacitive Tablet PC WiFi

So I get the 2nd leak of froyo 2.2 the updated version via update.zip method. I then learn about Rom manager app, And get both the free and paid versions. I go to download/install the downloaded rom's from the rom manager and every time it reboots it doesn't work. I've been trying to get BB 1.1 with smoked glass, And it'll download, But wont install?
View 25 Replies View RelatedI know similar topics regarding ClockworkMod/ROM Manager have been discussed, but I'm having a new issue and can't seem to find any info about it. Here's my issue: My backups don't work. When I try to flash one I'm being told there is an "MD5 mismatch." This happens when I try to restore any of my backups - including one I just made about an hour ago. I'm in the middle of flashing the newest Liquid Frozen Yogurt ROM and I goofed while restoring some things. I wanted to go back to v1.71 and start over, but I'm getting that error message. Perhaps not coincidentally, I have been unable to make any backups straight from ROM Manager. Nothing would happen. It isn't like the issues many of us have had in the past where it would appear to be booting into recovery and then just reboot. This time nothing happens at all. So my most recent backup was made by manually booting into recovery and going from there. I'm a little concerned. Any thoughts?
When I was having the issue using ROM Manager to make backups, I tried the old trick of flashing SPRecovery and then re-flashing ClockworkMod. Still didn't do anything.
I have clone s4 = htm GT-A9500
I rooted with thys method:[URL] (RootMaster) But Download Mode doesn't work = i can't install new ROM.

I dont have recovery mode too.
I have root i check it.
Rom Manager and other app from Store doesn't work.
I have a MotoDroid that has Froyo 2.2... I rooted it and am running a new rom. I was trying to boot into recovery using rom manager and it doesnt work. I also tried holding the x and power button down to reboot and it wont work either. It just shows the "M" for a long time then flashes "M" comes up again and in load like normal or it sometimes freezes and I have to take the battery out. just also tried to back up current rom and that doesnt work either.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a problem since few days with sw HTC Locations ( I think is that).
Let me explain, often when I'm using the phone asks me to turn on the GPS because otherwise the navigator of Location does not work, when I do cancels and then get out, I came back after just 15 seconds and then continues with the same demands indefinitely.
I reset phone and I formatted the memory card , but now after reconfiguring the mobile phone presents itself to me again, what would it be?
I also checked with Kaspersky, but nothing found. That practically stops me using a mobile phone?
Will be going on a trip soon and roaming is expensive so data will be off most of the time. I'm thinking of using location history to keep a record of the trip route.
Does location history works without internet access? Will it store the location and sync when theres internet access or flat out don't work at all?
