Hello pavanch,

yes the Notes-section is gone.

Your idea is not completely wrong. Somewhere I read, that when the user types an address there, it also gets internally converted to Lat/Lng.
I've had no time yet to determine where the Address-data gets stored to.

I made a few mods and got it to work on the new api:



I convert the address to a lat/long manually though, i don't know where it stores it if it does it automatically?

hey slim..thanks for working on this issue. I havent tried to get this code to run my machine yet, i sure will and i'll let you know..

Hi ,all

I am facing a problem with M5 . when i use this code as tutorial of plusminus , i see the error message IndexOutOfBound .I correct it by this code LocationProvider provider=this.myLocationManager.getProvider("gps");
I see the error : NULL POINTER .How to correct it?

Thank you

Regard

Hello inter,

did you check whether: [font=Lucida Console]this.myLocationManager[/font] is initialized somewhere before

Regards,
plusminus

Thank you

I have just done it . I added some lines in AndroidManifest.xml



It works .Thank you

Hi plusminus,

I seem to be still getting the null ptr exception even after making inter's suggested changes to add the permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml, as well as your change to getting the "gps" location provider. Also this.myLocationManager is getting initialized when the activity is first created at the line:
this.myLocationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

The null ptr exception is happening at the line:
LocationProvider provider = this.myLocationManager.getProvider("gps");

and neither "this" nor this.myLocationManager are null at that time, so it must be happening deep inside the method getProvider() and eclipse will not allow me to step into this method. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Hi plusminus,

Here is some more data if it can provide any more clues to my NullPointerException. I added the following line before the problematic line:
providerStatus = this.myLocationManager.getProviderStatus("gps");
and I see that provider status is LocationProvider.OUT_OF_SERVICE.

I also used DDMS to look at my emulator /data/misc/location/gps/ directory and see that this exists and contains the files location, nmea and properties. The nmea file has coordinate info, and the properties file has the following data:
requiresNetwork false
requiresSatellite false
requiresCell false
hasMonetaryCost false
supportsAltitude true
supportsBearing true
supportsSpeed true
repeat true
accuracy 100
powerRequirement 1

Also, the location file has:
gps,1193789209,37.42238666666666666666,-122.096535,0,0,0

Can you think of what may be wrong with my gps setup and why I can't find my mock gps provider from my emulator? I tried both m5 r14 as well as r15. If you cannot think of anything, I may have to try with m3.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Regards,

OK, I found the problem, it turned out to be a typo in inter's previous post. The "Manifest" field should be removed from the permissions values in the previous post. I'm surprised there weren't more fundamental syntax errors reported and this got detected so late. Now I have the "distance not set (km)" issues, which I'll try to solve using previous posts' suggestions.

Hi,

I have still this null ptr exception even after making the suggested changes

Any help will be welcome

Hi guys!

Is someone have successfully compile the app on the new sdk?

thx

Anybody has Friend Finder sample application working with
android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1?

I was able to change all the code to compile and deploy. But unable to launch the application. It crashes with some exception.

I am attaching the zip.

Hello,

It looks like the problem is with the returned cursor (c) for the contacts list.
In my case this cursor returns null, and throws the exeption.
Don't know if thats the exeption you mean..

I got this error in lots of 0.9 demo's, when i migrate them to 1.0.
Still haven't found a solution or reason for this.
(but busy reading the docs about this)

edit:
One main cause for throwing a error, is that the folowing is missing in the AndroidManifest.XML.
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
This line comes in the application tags.


But after changing that, the errors are gone, but the rewritten code won'twork.
There is to mutch changed and set inactive (probaly for not throwing errors..)
If i got some time i will give it a shot to rewrite the code.

For the null cursor i have at least found a solution. Was a permission problem.
