Help - Feedback needed testing routine in widget

Hiya all,
I'm just writing an widget, and I needs some testers for my test apk file(if you don't mind).

I just need to know if this test widget brings back your city name correctly. Depending on your location, it might bring back more information. I'm only really interested city and country. Your Google Location Services must be turned on for this to work.

The apk is just a small part of the actual code, I've separated it out from the main code for testing purposed only.

All that should happen is that it should tell you your location in a toast message then bring up an image of your current weather conditions.

Every so often you will hear an update location bleep.

Please note:
The end user of the completed widget will not see the toast message, the toast message is just there to make sure that I'm bringing back the correct information.


I have attached the apk file.

Thank you.

Peter

Thank you for your reply.

Ok, I tested it and this is what I see:

1- I hear a series of beeps and a toast shows my general location
2- I see it's "Sunny"
3- If I close the app and open it again I get THIS error.

Oops, sorry. As it was for testing purposes, I didn't even consider putting in an 'Exit Application' routine, I've added the exit app routine in now

As long as the app gave you your location, that what I really wanted to hear.

Sunny, it's raining here...

Thank you,

The location I got, like I mentioned before is a very general location, not my city, what I got was the county.

From my location it was showing my city name. When I drove 5 miles up the road it was showing the next city name, I'm in the UK.

I've now changed the which address field it reads from, I think that I've fixed it now.

Thank you
