1.5 locationListener and ProximityAlert

Postby nick_wa » Wed Mar 24, 2010 5:24 pm

Have an issue wherein I am using 1.5 and when using the emulator, locationListener onLocationChange will never fire. The listener works fine in the car but I need it to work on emulator with ddms for testing. Right now, with the fix I did, it listens but kills my proximity alerts. To fix the problem (and what kills my proximityalerts) I changed timezone and did the following:

  3.  
  4.             if (loc != null) {
  5.  
  6.                 GeoPoint p = new GeoPoint((int) (loc.getLatitude() * 1E6),(int) (loc.getLongitude() * 1E6));
  7.  
  8.                 mapController.animateTo(p);
  9.  
  10.                 mapController.setZoom(17);
  11.  
  12.                 mapView.invalidate();
  13.  
  14.                 locationManager.removeUpdates(locationListener);
  15.  
  16.                 locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,3000,10,locationListener);
  17.  
  18.             }
  19.  
  20.

Problem seems to be that when I have the last two lines, although listener works good, my ProximityAlerts don't fire anymore.
