    <p>This is really weird because, AFAIK, Android does not fall back to the second choice (network location provider) only if and when the first one (GPS) does not work. The two location providers are indipendent and should be sending location updates to you listeners indipendently to each other. Hence, the first one (GPS) should not be able to block the second one (network) in any case.</p> <p>Regarding your questions:</p> <p>How do I make sure that I always get a location?</p> <p>You don't. There is no way to be sure. There are cases in which you cannot get any location fix just because no location reference is available. This is often the case in metro/underground stations. No GPS, no cellular antennas (not everybody lives in NYC or London...), no wi-fi hotspots so no way to determine your current position. Believe it or not, in the new hospital of my town, we have this situation at the moment because GPS constellation is not visible (indoor...), no wi-fi hotspots have been installed yet and the only available CellID antenna is just a few hundred meters away so you get the same signal everywhere, both outside and inside the building.</p> <p>How can I make sure that if I dont get a GPS-location, I get a Network-location?</p> <p>You cannot, either. It depends on the available networks. Anyway, you can check what you get from the location providers in your code and switch from one to the next until you get a usable location fix.</p> <p>Is it a known bug?</p> <p>No, it is not a bug. It is more a known limit of the existing technology.</p> <p>Should I have 2 services, GPSLocationService and NetworkLocationsService?</p> <p>It is something to try. As nick already said, this should not be a problem but a check should not hurt.</p> <p>Is there a solution to this? :)</p> <p>If your app is intended to be used mainly in a urban environment (a town), most likely you should use the network location engine as your main location engine. Nowadays, every village and town is covered by a large set on cellular phone antennas and by a large set of wi-fi hotspot so you are more likely to get a good location fix from the network location provider than from the GPS one. This is particularly true in towns with high buildings and narrow roads (that does not just mean NYC. Even here in Venice we have problems with the GPS). The network engine is also faster in getting a first fix and works indoor as well.</p> <p>Fall back to GPS only if and when the network location engine does not work.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
