Android Question GPS Get help

[Ksmith1192]

Hi guys, I am trying to get my GPS to get the location's lat and long as soon as the app starts. Is there an easier way to do it besides what I am doing?

Dim Lat as String
Dim Longt as string

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
 GPS1.Initialize("GPS")
GPS1.Start(0,0)

end sub

Sub GPS_LocationChanged (Location1 As Location)
    LAT = Location1.ConvertToMinutes(Location1.Latitude)   
    LONGT = Location1.ConvertToMinutes(Location1.longitude)

end sub

I want to put these GPS values into their corresponding strings. When I test, it does not work. Any suggestions?

Try putting GPS1.Start(0,0) in Sub Activity_Resume

In which way doesn't it work?

I recommend you to start with the GPS example: GPS tutorial

My guess is that your device doesn't find enough satellites.

I am testing it on a working android device, and I can't get the coordinates. I try to convert it to a string, and display it on a label but the results never show.

Have you tried the example I posted above?

 

[Ksmith1192]

Yes, I used that app as a "base" for mine.

Run the example as is, outdoors. It should work.
