I am able to get location (GPS or Network provider) with no issue from any Activity (in my main app). But when I tried from my App Widget, I am not getting the call back.
I see the GPS location icon flashes in the status bar indefinitely (clearly triggered by my widget call) but there was no onLocationUpdate callback (I waited a long time). I am getting the provider String successfully and called the below: lManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); lManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, MIN_TIME_MS, MIN_DIST_METER, this); I called above from an IntentService's onHandleIntent method started by my widget. So I thought maybe I need to use a PendingIntent instead so I tried: lManager = (LocationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Intent newLocationFoundIntent = new Intent(ACTION_LOCATION_PROVIDER_UPDATE); PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, newLocationFoundIntent, 0); lManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, MIN_TIME_MS, MIN_DIST_METER, pendingIntent); I tried this call from both onReceive and from my IntentService but my receiver never got ACTION_LOCATION_PROVIDER_UPDATE. I am out of ideas completely. I tried this on my Samsung Nexus S. Please help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
