Question

i try to create small example to test GPS here

package org.example.location;

import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.location.Criteria;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class WhereAmI extends MapActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    LocationManager locationManager;
    String context = Context.LOCATION_SERVICE;
    locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(context);
    //String provider = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE);
    criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false);
    criteria.setBearingRequired(false);
    criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
    criteria.setPowerRequirement(Criteria.POWER_LOW);
    String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);

    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
    updateWithNewLocation(location);

    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 2000, 10, locationListener);
}

private void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) {
    String latLongString;
    TextView myLocationText;
    myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myLocationText);
    if (location != null) {
        double lat = location.getLatitude();
        double lng = location.getLongitude();
        latLongString = "Lat:" + lat + "\nLong:" + lng;
    } else {
        latLongString = "No location found";
    }
    myLocationText.setText("Your Current Position is:\n" +latLongString);
}

private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    updateWithNewLocation(location);
    }
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider){
    updateWithNewLocation(null);
    }
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider){ }
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status,
    Bundle extras){ }
    };

@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return false;
}

Any idea??

Answer 1

Do you have the appropriate permissions set in AndroidManifest.xml?

[Update]
Have you provided a valid and registered Google Maps key? I believe that is the problem here.
