Hi,

I am trying to access the sensors and gps using the code bellow, and idea why the code doesn't work (Forced Stop).
The following permissions were add to the Manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CONTROL_LOCATION_UPDATES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Thanks,

Code: Select all

Are you testing it on the emulator or a test phone.
