Question

I am getting error at “criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(5000);” line. Its says criteria does not exists. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

  package displaytest;
  import javax.microedition.location.Criteria;
  import javax.microedition.location.Location;
  import javax.microedition.location.LocationListener;
  import javax.microedition.location.LocationProvider;





  public class get_gps  {

        Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

        criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(5000);




  public static String get_lat()
     {


     String lat = "test";

     return lat;
  }

}

Answer 1

You cannot call arbitrary statements in a class outside of a constructor or method. You can only initialize static or member variables.

Create a constructor for your class and initialize the criteria object there. For example:

public class GetGps {
  private Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

  public GetGps() {
    criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(5000);
  }
}
