Problem with Kml File

Hi,
I've a problem with a kml file. So I pushed the kml file (kml.kml) and my properties file to my emulator misc/location/mygps

the I write a app with this code:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

  MapController mc = mymapview.getController();
 
        LocationManager myLocationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
 
        // Get the first Providers available
 
        List<LocationProvider> providers = myLocationManager.getProviders();
 
        LocationProvider provider = providers.get(1);
 
        //Returns a new location fix from the given provider:
 
        Location curLoc = myLocationManager.getCurrentLocation("mygps");
 
        Point curLocAsPoint = new Point((int)(curLoc.getLatitude()* 1E6), (int)(curLoc.getLongitude()*1E6));
 
        mc.animateTo(curLocAsPoint);
Parsed in 0.032 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

My map shows a point near Afrika but it should be a location in Europe ?! I set these permissions in the manifest.xml as well:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION">
 
</uses-permission><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS">
 
</uses-permission>
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

I hope someone can help me. Do I forget to push some files to emulator perhaps ?
Thanks in advance !

Hello mana,

usually the first call to [font=Courier New]getCurrentLocation()[/font] returns invalid values (Latitude=0 & Longitude=0).
Try calling it at least twice, in the beginning.

Thank you +-,
the problem was that the kml file had the name kml.kml on the emulator. Then I remove the *.kml extension and now it works fine and I can see my location.
Thanks
