Hi
This is what I tried based on the suggestions in the below chain mail
MyLocationListener myListener = new MyLocationListener();
LocationManager myManager =
(LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
myManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 2000,
0, myListener);
This is the LocationListener class
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) {
LocationManager myManager =
(LocationManager)delegate.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationProvider name = myManager.getProvider("gps");
if(name != null){
Location lastGps = myManager.getLastKnownLocation("gps");
if(lastGps == null){
latitude = 0.0;
longitude = 0.0;
}
else{
latitude = lastGps.getLatitude();
longitude = lastGps.getLongitude();
}
}
}
@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;
}
}
I waited for as long as 30 seconds but none of the listener methods
were called. I am testing on a G1 with 1.5 SDK.
Can someone please tell me whats wrong with the code? Thanks
