JSR 179 working on N95?

hmmm - I am trying a trivial location app, and wondering if JSR 179 really works on N95; the 'GPS' app does indeed see satellites, but the attached Midlet always times out...It does, however, consistently ask me on start-up if I want to allow it access to the positioning hardware, which I do. I just loaded this as an untrusted Midlet using the microSD card.

thanks in advance for any helpful hints!

import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.microedition.location.*;

public class Location extends MIDlet {

String error = "";
private static Display display = null;

protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
System.out.println("loading");

LocationProvider lp=null;
javax.microedition.location.Location location=null;

try {
lp= LocationProvider.getInstance(null);
} catch(LocationException e) {
addError(e);
}
String res="[RESULTS]\n";
try {
//timeout after a minute
location = lp.getLocation(60);

Coordinates coordinates = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();

res+="Altitude:"+coordinates.getAltitude()+"\n";
res+="Latitude:"+coordinates.getLatitude()+"\n";
res+="Longitude:"+coordinates.getLongitude()+"\n";

} catch(Exception e){
addError(e);
}

Form f = new Form("Results");
f.append(res);
f.append(error);
display.setCurrent(f);
}

void addError(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
error+=e.getMessage()+"\n";
}

protected void pauseApp() { }

protected void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
throws MIDletStateChangeException { }


public static Display getDisplay() {
return display;
}
}

hmmm - even with super-lenient criteria, still times out...I added this before I get the location Provider:


Criteria crit2 = new Criteria();
crit2.setHorizontalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
crit2.setVerticalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
crit2.setPreferredResponseTime(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
crit2.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_HIGH);
crit2.setCostAllowed(false);
crit2.setSpeedAndCourseRequired(false);
crit2.setAltitudeRequired(false);
lp= LocationProvider.getInstance(crit2);

I guess you are not getting GPS signals while you are testing.
The best way to test GPS is; turn on your GPS application and wait till you get latitude and longitude. Then run your midlet. It will get poition in seconds. :P

yes, JSR179 does work on N95, N95-8GB and N96... tested them all on several devices...
