Question

I create application using map.

It works, but when there’s no internet or wifi the application crashes.

Instead of crashing I want to show error message in device.

It is not shown in logcat.

Here’s my code:

LocationManager myManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
if(myManager != null){
    String param=(String)myManager.getProviders(true).get(0);
    Location loc = myManager.getLastKnownLocation(param);

    if(loc != null){
         ............
    } else {
         Log.e("AndroidMaps-1 ","Error: Location  is null");
         builder.setMessage("err").setPositiveButton("Yes",dialogClickListener).show();
    }   
} else {
    Log.e("AndroidMaps-2 ","Error: Location Manager is null");
    builder.setMessage("Are you sure").setPositiveButton("Yes",dialogClickListener).show();
}

when wi-fi is turned off I do not get any error message from logcat or dialog box.

Before doing anything else, you could check for Internet connectivity. If no Internet connection is available, you could notify the user.

Although, in my applications, it doesn’t crash when the Map tries to lead tiles without any Internet connection.
