I got a weird problem. I uses wifi to retrieve user location. I have tested on several phones; on some of them, I could never get a location update. it seemed that the method onLocationChanged is never called. My code is attached below.. Any suggestions appreciated!!!
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LocationManager locationManager;
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
String provider = locationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER;
Location l = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
updateWithNewLocation(l);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 0, 0,
locationListener);
}
private void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) {
TextView myLocationText;
myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myLocationText);
String latLongString = "No location found";
if (location != null) {
double lat = location.getLatitude();
double lng = location.getLongitude();
latLongString = "Lat:" + lat + "\nLong:" + lng;
}
myLocationText.setText("Your Current Position is:\n" +
latLongString);
}
private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
updateWithNewLocation(location);
Log.i("onLocationChanged", "onLocationChanged");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "location changed",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
Bundle extras) {}
};
