Location API and rights

[bergerc]

Hi,

I encounter problems while accessing the location API.
I try the examples given in "Location Acquisition API Specification" paper (3.4.1, Simple Location Request) and I run into problems with the SetRequestor instruction.
I always get errors "unable to execute file for security reason" but it is signed with a DevCert with the 13 capabilities activated (including Location).

Thanks for help or any advice

Please try it in emulator and see if there is any useful information in the %TEMP%\epocwind.out log file.

Hi,

It doesn't say anything because the feature is not supported (error message from the emulator "Feature not supported (-5)"
I even don't have any out file

Thanks

Have you actually added the required capability to the executable (in the .mmp file and/or settings in Carbide)?

Location applications can be tested on emulator since a simulation PSY is provided. See Settings -> General -> Positioning. Also, the SDK comes with excellent example applications for the Mobile Location Framework APIs.

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I forgot to add the capability to the mmp file, I was convinced it was done automaticaly... sorry :/

How do I disable the simulation and enable retrieving the data from a real GPS module? I have paired my emulator with the GPS module, disabled the simulation positioning method, but there are no other methods to choose, despite the fact that the GPS is connected and working (tested with a real phone). How do I change that?

[ltomuta]

In order to get the data from the real device via BT the emulator will need the Bluetooth PSY. However the emulator only supports the Symulation PSY and there's nothing you can do about it.

I fail to see how connecting the BT device to the emulator will help your application development/testing. If needed you can save the NMEA strings sent by the device in a text file and then feed them to the application running in the emulator through the Symulation PSY.

Hi ltomuta,

Well, if it's impossible, there's nothing I can do. I just wanted to see that my code works with a physical device, to make sure. I guess that if it works with the PSY simulation, it's fine.

Thanks for the reply.

This is a very good post. Just as an update. Usually one gets the error with error code -46.

-46 is KPermissionDenied.

Include respected/missing Capabilities in your .mmp file and rebuild/re-import the project.
