POAndroid - using LocationManager does not give a geo fix
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to get the GPS location of my G1 using the following code</p> <p><strong>In Activity</strong></p> <pre><code>MyLocationListener myListener = new MyLocationListener(); LocationManager myManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE); myManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000, 0, myListener); </code></pre> <p>This is the LocationListener class</p> <pre><code>public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener { private static double latitude; private static double longitude; @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location arg0) { latitude = arg0.getLatitude(); longitude = arg0.getLongitude(); } @Override public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { } @Override public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) { } @Override public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {} public static double getLatitude() { return latitude; } public static double getLongitude() { return longitude; } } </code></pre> <p>I waited for as long as 30 seconds but none of the listener methods were called. The GPS icon shows up, stays there for some time but for some reason I don't get a fix, even outdoors in bright sunlight. I am testing on a G1 with 1.5 SDK.</p> <p>Can someone please tell me what's wrong with the code? Thanks.</p> <p>Adding log</p> <pre><code>06-02 18:30:43.143: ERROR/System(52): java.lang.SecurityException 06-02 18:30:43.143: ERROR/System(52): at android.os.BinderProxy.transact(Native Method) 06-02 18:30:43.143: ERROR/System(52): at android.os.ServiceManagerProxy.addService(ServiceManagerNative.java:146) 06-02 18:30:43.143: ERROR/System(52): at android.os.ServiceManager.addService(ServiceManager.java:72) 06-02 18:30:43.143: ERROR/System(52): at com.android.server.ServerThread.run(SystemServer.java:155) 06-02 18:30:43.152: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(52): Crash logging skipped, no checkin service 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/SystemServer(52): Failure starting StatusBarService 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/SystemServer(52): java.lang.NullPointerException 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/SystemServer(52): at com.android.server.status.StatusBarPolicy.updateBluetooth(StatusBarPolicy.java:749) 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/SystemServer(52): at com.android.server.status.StatusBarPolicy.<init>(StatusBarPolicy.java:282) 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/SystemServer(52): at com.android.server.status.StatusBarPolicy.installIcons(StatusBarPolicy.java:337) 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/SystemServer(52): at com.android.server.ServerThread.run(SystemServer.java:186) 06-02 18:30:43.382: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(52): Crash logging skipped, no checkin service </code></pre>
