LocationManager

[Andrius Dapševičius]

We are currently trying to get current device location, but all we get is a log message "bestProvider null" or "bestProvider gps" depending on device and no connection, blocking thread does not end. lm.getLastKnownLocation() returns outdated location.

                LocationManager lm = LocationManager.getLocationManager();

                InfiniteProgress inf = new InfiniteProgress();

                final Dialog progress = inf.showInifiniteBlocking();

                MyLocationListener m = new MyLocationListener();

                lm.setLocationListener(m);

                try{

                System.out.println("Current location: " + lm.getCurrentLocation());// This code does not change anything.

                } catch (Exception e){}

                Display.getInstance().invokeAndBlock(m);

                System.out.println("Baigta");

                progress.dispose();

                showMeOnMap();

                lm.setLocationListener(null);

                int status = lm.getStatus();

LocationListener source code. From other similar thread:

class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener, Runnable {

        boolean locationReady;

        int status;

        public void locationUpdated(Location loc) {

            locationReady = true;

        }

        public void providerStateChanged(int newState) {

            // check for unavailable errors etc.

            status = newState;

            locationReady = true;

        }

        public void run() {

            // I recommend adding a timeout and setting the status to an error value for timeout

            while (!locationReady) {

                

                // sleep is find here because this isn't the EDT

                try {

                    System.out.println("Sleeping");

                    Thread.sleep(100);

                } catch (InterruptedException err) {

                }

            }

        }

    }

Are you outside?
If not you will get a broken location from GPS and it will keep looking. See the comment in the code (which I think is copied from code I or Chen wrote, looks like my style though) where it says you should implement a timeout.
