Hi I am trying to do rather simple thing as taking my position out of LocationManager.

The code is as simple as

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
 
                        Location location = locationManager.getCurrentLocation("gps"); 
 
                        Double lat = location.getLatitude() * 1E6;
 
                        Double lng = location.getLongitude() * 1E6;
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Problem is that both lat an lng are 0.0 :cry:

does anybody has similar problem?

Hello wonglik,

the first query for the gps-position somehow always returns 0 / 0. It seems to be a kick-off for the Locationmanager or sth.

On the second query it should be working correctly.

Hi plusminus.

It is more or less how You mention but I do not understand it fully.
Second request really gives correct values but only if fired by registered intern. If I do few method invocations in a row it still returns nothing useful. Not sure if this just need time to starts working or there is some more magic behind the scene that I do not understand. Any way thx for help

Hello wonglik,

what do you mean with:

It will not return YOUR actual GPS position, but the position of a simulated Fake-Location :!:

Have a look here for a detailed explanation: :arrow:

HI

Well I understand that this is just a mock. What I mean is that if You just ask for mocked coordinates twice it will not work either.

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
location = locationManager.getCurrentLocation("gps");
 
location = locationManager.getCurrentLocation("gps");
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

So my I was wandering does it need some time to starts working or it needs to be triggered by some Intent. For me it is just a bit strange that getCurrentLocation() do two diffrent things separatly. It looks that one time it start the gps mock and second time it returns coordinates.
