GPS Satellite count

[Daniele Di Alessandro]

Hi friends

there is a way from Tasker to know how many satellites are connected (not just visible) with GPS ?

I'm looking for something from days but found nothing

Thanks.

It is probably possible calling java code from Tasker. Unfortunately that's the extent of help I can give you :( I really should start learning java.

Try this:

    A1: Java Function [ 

        Return:lm 

        Class Or Object:CONTEXT 

        Function:getSystemService {LocationManager } (String) 

        Param:location ] 

    A2: Java Function [ 

        Return:loc 

        Class Or Object:lm 

        Function:getLastKnownLocation {Location} (String) 

        Param:gps ] 

    A3: Java Function [ 

        Return:bun 

        Class Or Object:loc 

        Function:getExtras {Bundle} () ] 

    A4: Java Function [ 

        Return:%sats 

        Class Or Object:bun 

        Function:get {Object} (String) 

        Param:satellites ] 

    A5: Flash [ 

        Text:%sats 

        Long:Off ] 

satellites - the number of satellites used to derive the fix

I tried but get error:

Works for me. Export the description of your task as see where it differs from Plepleus's.

Hi Tobias. You get this error due to the fact that the "loc" object from A2 action is null (no data inside it). To fix it you need your "GPS" toggle  will be turned on (no need to start a "get location" action, just turn on GPS, since it gets last known location). If you again get an error, then start a get location action to get your location and all goes on.

After one year I tried it again but I'm really stuck with code above. Get the error again. What I'm doing wrong? I tried it also with GPS fix before but it also sticks on error.

Edit. It worked, but only when I have a fix. Some way to get the satellite in view too?

Could they share those profiles and tasks with me?
