Question

I have a standard call to the geolocation api on my web application :

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(foundLocation, noLocation);

Well, a user press OK on his device (so, he confirm the access for sharing data).

If the location is found trought the GPS the function foundLocation is called; else, it calls noLocation.

What I need is to check if a user have pressed OK (at the beginning) or he have aborted the sharing data with GPS.

How can I catch that event? Hope the question is clear more or less…

Answer 1

as specified by http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html

// Request a position. We accept positions whose age is not
// greater than 10 minutes. If the user agent does not have a
// fresh enough cached position object, it will automatically
// acquire a new one.
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successCallback, errorCallback, {maximumAge:600000});

function successCallback(position) {
  // By using the 'maximumAge' option above, the position
  // object is guaranteed to be at most 10 minutes old.
}

function errorCallback(error) {
    // Update a div element with error.message.
    if (error == 1) {
        alert('no location provided');
    }
}

UPDATE

Seems to be a bug within mozilla https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675533. Not sure if they will fix this?
