I have written a simple GPS status application (just for my own amusement) and was giving it a final run through when I can across a problem.
When I took my phone down to the end of the garden I stopped getting location updates. When I re-connected the phone back onto the computer and examined LogCat I saw that the WiFi was disconnecting followed by libgps putting out PDSM_PD_EVENT_GPS_DONE and after that I got no more GPS updates. I then had a guess at the cause of the problem - in my Manifest I had requested the following permissions: android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION I removed android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, re-tested and my GPS app is now working fine. I only request location updates from the GPS provider by: locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, LOCATION_UPDATE_REFRESH, LOCATION_MIN_DISTANCE, this); So does anyone know how android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION interact with each other when using the GPS? Phone is HTC Magic running 1.6 (not rooted). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
