using kml file

mystic-d · by **mystic-d** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 10:05 pm

hey
im trying to use a kml file as a mock gps, but cant get it to work...
my code is:

Code: Select all: LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); LocationProvider provider = locationManager.getProvider("gps");

and i was put the kml file inside /data/misc/location/gps/kml
i cant get over the second line ('LocationProvider provider = locationManager.getProvider("gps");') , its like it cant find something or something else..
can someone know what the problem is ?
thanks !

Hello mystic-d,

what do you mean with "cant get it to work" :?:

You'll need restart the emulator after copying the file to that location.
(Put it to "/data/misc/location/gps/" not to "/data/misc/location/gps/kml/" :!:

just the same folder as where the "nmea" is.)

Regards,

ok, i found that my kml file wasnt good, so i tryed to use the kml from the thread :
http://www.anddev.org/solved_trouble_wi ... t1151.html
and now i get it to work but now i got that my lat and long is always 0 ,
the code is:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
 
Location myLocation = locationManager.getCurrentLocation("gps");
 
TextView eText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt);
 
eText.setText("Current location is: lat: " + myLocation.getLatitude() + " long: " + myLocation.getLongitude());
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

my properties file in the /data/misc/location/ is:

requiresNetwork false
requiresSatellite false
requiresCell false
hasMonetaryCost false
supportsAltitude true
supportsBearing true
supportsSpeed false
repeat true
accuracy 100
powerRequirement 1

and i put the permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file are:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />        
Parsed in 0.001 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

and i dont have any other file in that directory beside the "kml" file and "properties" file
and i tryed to stop the adb.exe and start the emulator again (like i saw in the thread above that solve this problem)
does someone know what is the problem ?
Thanks !

i was try to look at the logCat , and the parse of the kml file is all ok..
i also saw this information : (on booting process)
tag Message
"
TrackProvider lon=-117.883593, lat=33.916991, alt=0
LocationManagerService loadProviders
LocationManagerService loadProviders: already loaded
"
and than when my application is starting i saw this:
"
DEBUGTAG lat = 0 (this is for the row: Log.d("DEBUGTAG", "lat = : "+ l.getLatitude()); )
"
maybe someone know what is the problem ?
thanks !
