Map GPS display

Postby BeerBelly » Thu Mar 11, 2010 4:02 pm

Hey, first of all I'd like to say I enjoy this site.

Second...I've run into a problem :)

I'm trying to write an app that draws markers on the map each time your location changes. Using GPS of course.

Code as follows:

  1.  
  2. private Spinner radius;
  3.  
  4.         private MapView karta;
  5.  
  6.         private LinearLayout layout;
  7.  
  8.         private ZoomControls mZoom;
  9.  
  10.         private List<Overlay> mapOverlays;
  11.  
  12.         private Drawable icon;
  13.  
  14.         private Markers mapMarkers;
  15.  
  16.         private LocationManager GPSHandler;
  17.  
  18.         private Location myLocation;
  19.  
  20.         private LocationProvider locProvider;
  21.  
  22.         private LocationListener llistener;
  23.  
  24.         private MapController mc;

I'm querying last known location as well and it's returning one. The onLocationChanged fires only once at the start and then not anymore (I'm loading a GPX file in the DDMS view). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for all the help.

To answer my own question...the problem was in locale settings. I had to add a line to Eclipse.ini to use english as locale used for dispaying and using numbers.
