Okay, here is an issue I am not sure about.when I go to the internet, Google, settings, allow use of device location.if I change that to Yes/Save/then go back out to Google it says location unavailable (whether GPS is on or off). If I hit update it won't update.so it can't find my location, any ideas?

I know this has been discussed over and over now but I just got it workign and it works perfectly on the emulator when I mock the location with long and lat however, I am still getting NULL in the location when I run the code on my phone.
here's the main code...
I developed an application that use the current location. Testing on local I can send the Latitude and Longitude by the DDM5 and I didn't have problem. When I tried to do the same thing on debugging device, didn't work and on DDM5 I can't send this information. Is there any setup to try this ? Here is the code <code> //manifest <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name ="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOC ATION" /> <uses-permission android:name= "android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCAT ION" /> //view.java -> widget configure private Location location; private LocationManager lm; private LocationListener locationListener; //onCreate lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE) ; locationListener = new MyLocationListener(); lm.request Location Updates (LocationManager.GPS_PROV IDER, 0, 0, locationListener); //action *location.distanceTo private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener

View 16 Replies View RelatedI have a few questions regarding the usage of localization in android applications: Are there any interfaces available to find out when an application uses location information? Is it possible to know if the application is using coarse or fine grained location information? Is it possible to detect which type of localization is being provided, i.e. gps vs. wifi? And if the answer to any of the above question is yes, how? You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project to display a route in a MapView based on current location from GPS Provider. I'm able to draw the path between two points but the problem starts when the location changes to a new point causing the draw path to erase. Basically my Location Listener saves the current Geopoint and sets the new Geopoint location and after that it starts the overlay to draw a path based on those two points. I think an option could be saving the coordinates to a database and then pulling the information from there to draw the path.
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Tracking device..",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I have xprivacy installed and even when I uncheck all options for Google maps and try to find my current location with it, the gps sign flashes in the notification area but never gets a fix on my location. My question is simple:
I think I may have accidentally deleted some GPS files from my phone /device location. How do I check or what files do I look for in particular (and their location precisely) to make sure that I deleted my files and its not an issue in some other place before I go reporting a bud to the developer.
And where exactly are the GPS driver/files located in the phone?
I am new android development. My new requirement is location details. I need to find, device current location in the form of latitude and longitude.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have trouble with finding my SQLite Database.
As we can access the SQLite databases on a running emulator like below:
adb -s emulator-5554 shell
sqlite3 /data/data/package_name/databases/database_name
But what if I am testing my application on real device(HTC Here-Android) ?
where does i find my database?
While using network provider for location updates, I found that it is the same time that I set on my device. Can it not be that provided by network as it goes when it is GPS. Or if network provider cannot provide time , then atleast location.getTime() should return 0 instead of device time. Is there any way to avoid device time, as I want to distinguish it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine the most accurate location of a device, in the shortest time possible.I am storing the data as a geopoint, and have it displayed on a mapview.The last time I activated the GPS on my device and let it get a location lock, i was approx 80 miles from where I am now.I have a location manager setup and a location listener.If I do this, I get NULL. myLocOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView); GeoPoint test = myLocOverlay.getMyLocation(); but in the next couple of lines; myLocOverlay. enableMyLocation(); mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocOverlay);With this, the overlay on the map shows the current location. It is using the Network provider, but is also attempting to get a GPS fix (it can't as I am indoors and no where near the top floor).If I construct the geopoint like this Short of getting the geopoints from both GPS and Network and then comparing them, and disregarding the GPS result if it is say 1 mile out of the Network location - i'm a bit stuck. why doesn't getMyLocation() work, shouldnt that return the GeoPoint of what myLocOverlay is showing on the mapview?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI think best option is to turn off Both gps and network location settings, then just leave gps widget on home, if anything needs location, it will warn you....think that location burns battery, and I find with all off, google, and htc weather widget use my home location instead of current location.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know there are many posts about location based widgets not working correctly (and I have read lots of them). Some people say they do and others say they don't work right. on my DI I can not get the Sense Weather/Clock to follow where I am currently (GPS on or off). Is it supposed to?? It would seem to me that it should be able to get a rough area based on what cell towers I'm hitting, but that doesn't work for anything. Every weather based widget I've tried works solely off GPS and when I am in my building at work there is no connecting to the GPS Sats. So before I go off on a tangent I'll ask my question(s). Should non-GPS location services work? Or does everything need GPS on and connected? I only have about a week left and I want to make sure that my phone is working correctly before my 30 days are up. This is the only frustrating thing I have found with the phone so far.

In the EVO 4G section and I'm having the same issue with my Incredible. For the past couple of days every time I go to google.com I receive this prompt
This happens using the native browser or using Dolphin browser. All my location settings are set to allow sites to use my location (in the phone options and all browser options). I get the prompt both when I am logged into google and when I am logged out. I've even checked my google account settings "save recent locations" is set as On and "allow use of device location" is set to YES. No matter what combination of options I select within the prompt, it comes back every time I go to google.com. I've rebooted and even pulled out the battery and nothing changes. GPS on or off has no effect and clearing out my caches hasn't changed it either. My phone is stock except for being rooted.
I love the google navigation but I have to say it is a little more difficult to use than VZ navigator..... How do I save a location where I am at? There is a place that is starred,how do I get rid of it? I didn't even starred it.... Is there a way you can delete all your current locations you went too? With VZ navigator I can go online and manage all my places. With this, I can't...

View 4 Replies View RelatedBased on what I've been reading, leaving GPS on won't drain more battery. It's just merely allowing apps to use the GPS.That said, if you have GPS on and have apps that use GPS, you will drain more battery.I want to leave my GPS on for "Where's my Droid." My question is this: how do I make it so that apps (weather widget, etc.) only use network location and not GPS? Is there a way to block all apps except those I choose from using GPS ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt keeps telling me I'm in the town across the river. Maybe according to the network location I am in that town but when I go to maps and it uses GPS it realizes the proper city. The weather app often makes this mistake. I thought when I setup my device it may have asked if I want to use GPS or just network location for something but I can't find that setting anymore. Any ideas on how to get more accurate current location for the weather widget?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe clock/weather widget seems to no longer know my current location. All it says is literally "Current location". Prior to the 2.2 upgrade and even for a while after the upgrade it used to show the actual city or town I was in. I've played around with the settings under Settings -> Location but nothing makes a difference.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGenerally my location is detected normally but on occasion i get a number instead of the town i am in on the home screen clock widget. Same goes with the weather widget. I know its not a problem with the town information because sometimes it works and generally does so after being at the location for awhile. However today, for example, my location at work simply displays as "5". It has not updated itself after about 8 hours and counting. Friday it was fine.
