LocationManager Library

[Shay]

Is there a way to control location change refresh time, it looks it is updating every 20 seconds

also is this "get location by cell" is consuming battery or the phone is doing this anyway

I want to use a service to fetch the latitude and longitude using location manager , any Idea how this library must interact with a service.
I don-t understand where can you declare the location manger object and where to initialize ?
Thanks

Hi
is this library suppose to work when DATA is disabled?
I am not getting any cell reading while my wifi or 3g is off
I need to read my location without GPS or data, can it be done?

Without a GPS, you can only get the location if you have an internet connection (and are connected to a cellular network).

I was also getting the "Provider Disabled" error. I noticed that that event had a "Provider" parameter, so I added it to the error dialog text and it reported the provider as "gps", so for some reason version 1.1 in post #1 is trying to use the GPS location function and not the course/cell location function.

Fortunately, the version 1.0 in post #1 worked on my SGS4 to properly use "course" location data.

How can i get cell location from a 3G provider ?

I request for mobile location every seconds via timer. After some time, no location is being retrieved. Is the location manager fails because of simultaneous request? or it is possible there is no network location retrieved in some location

 

[laviniut]

You can test it. try to use the phone for some time in same location where network location works fine.

Hi Tomas,

Could you include requestLocationUpdates (String provider, long minTime, float minDistance, LocationListener listener) method in your lib?

Thanks,

Fabio

I get a blank page when i open the app. It only shows the Update location and stop listening options when i click on the menu.
What am i doing wrong? Why am i not getting the location? i have used the app with wifi only, with 3g only and with 2g only but no output.

You must wait a while. a minute or two. must be connected to internet, and is a good idea to enable GPS.

Tried it inside a house where there is no signal from gps. I have tried on two different phones. Is thereany other way to get location?

 

[laviniut]

In house you cannot get result from GPS. Go outside.

How can I get coordinates over wifi?

When I push menu "Update location", I got a message box error "Provider Disable". Could anyone tell me the reason why?
Or because I am in Cambodia, a location that do not support by this library?

Best regards,

I've tried using this lib version 1.0 and 1.1, and the Location_LocationChanged event never fires, i cannot get the lat/long coordinates trough wifi, and wifi is connected and working..any help please ?

teste latest location manager 1.1 does anyone tested the lib on dual sim ? ...

I have problems ..no location is availlable using a dual sim phone ..either if sim in on slot 1 or slot 2
If we could find a way to make this work on dual sim this will be great ...as some of the models use this feature

I get provider disabled ...what should I do in this case ?
Msgbox("Provider","Provider Disabled")

 

[coslad]

"Provider Disable" even to me on a note 3, why?

 

[Sgardy]

Do can I use together LM.requestMobileLocation and LM.requestGPSLocation? It works fine on my samsung S3 neo but I get an error in the emulator reporting Provider = Null and the app aborts, there is a way to manage this kind of error in case it occours in real phones?
Many thanks in advance!
