You could look at the exception. MartinM wrote: > Sorry, to be more precise, it throws an exception, but not a useful > one! No, I'm fairly certain it will be useful. Most likely, that line is fine, but you then fail later on a NullPointerException when trying to use the Location. If so, that is because there is no fix, perhaps because you haven't done anything in code to attempt to get GPS to start acquiring fixes, such as call requestLocationUpdates(). If that is not the exception you are getting, then please post the exception and stack trace (and relevant portion of your source code). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: 4-6 June 2010: http://guruloft.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
