I am new to android development. I am trying to get the Location using GPS in android. I have adopted two classes: one for the GPSTracker and the other one for the Activity. The location is getting set as null everytime and when i checked in LogCat, i get the following error:
native_start failed in startNavigating
I have set the permission in the manifest for GPS data as well. I even tried to pass fake latitude and longitude by using the emulator control, to no effect. what might be the reason? I am coding for the Android 2.3
My code is: //GPSTracker.java
public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {
private final Context mcontext;
boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
boolean canGetLocation = false;
double latitude,longitude;
Location location;
private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10;
private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1;
protected LocationManager locationManager;
protected LocationListener listener;
public GPSTracker(Context context){
this.mcontext = context;
getLocation();
}
public Location getLocation() {
try{
locationManager = (LocationManager) mcontext.getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
listener = new LocationListener() {
@Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
location = location1;
}
};
isGPSEnabled = locationManager.isProviderEnabled(locationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(isGPSEnabled){
this.canGetLocation = true;
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(locationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES, MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, listener);
Log.d("GPS", "Enabled");
if(locationManager!=null){
location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(locationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
if(location!=null){
latitude = location.getLatitude();
longitude = location.getLongitude();
//Log.d("Latitude", latitude.toString());
//Log.d("Longitude", longitude.toString());
}
else{
Log.d("Location","Null");
}
}
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return location;
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public boolean canGetLocation(){
return this.canGetLocation;
}
public void showSettingsAlert(){
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mcontext);
alertDialog.setTitle("GPS Settings");
alertDialog.setMessage("GPS is not enabled. Do you want to go to settings menu?");
alertDialog.setPositiveButton("Settings", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
});

public double getLatitude() {

if(location!=null){
Log.d("Location",location.toString());
latitude = location.getLatitude();
}
return latitude;
}
public double getLongitude() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(location!=null){
Log.d("Location",location.toString());
longitude = location.getLongitude();
}
return longitude;
}
}
//LocationActivity.java
public class LocationActivity extends Activity {
@Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_location);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

GPSTracker gps = new GPSTracker(LocationActivity.this);
if(gps.canGetLocation() == false){
Log.d("GPSLogFromActivity","False");
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
else{
double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
System.out.println("Latitude: "+latitude);
double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
System.out.println("Longitud: e"+longitude);
Log.d("GPSLogFromActivity","True");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your Location is - \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
