addProximityListener

[snoopyAU]

Hi
I tried to use LocationProvider.addProximityListener(listener,coordinates,radius)
with coordinates is
new Coordinates(-33.91956111111, 151.2266583333, (new Float(48.0)).floatValue())
but it ultimately throw the LocationException
Any idea why,
just wonder that can proximitylistener be used on S60 FP2 device
thanks

Hello snoopyAU,

..just wonder that can proximitylistener be used on S60 FP2 device..

Which S60 FP2 this is about? S60 3rd Ed., FP2? Or S60 2nd Ed., FP2?

Regards,

I am using Nokia N95 8GB, I am not sure which one is the one in your list

That would be S60 3rd Edition, I believe Feature Pack 2 but i think that it may only be feature pack one, please someone correct me if im wrong but i think the newer firmware and handsets use fp2

N95 8GB is S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 device. Even after firmware updates (you will not move from one platform version to another one with a firmware update)

What comes to the original question. This sentence

There is no proximity listener support, which is used to receive notifications of when the terminal enters an area (specified by coordinates and a radius).

can be found in the Java ME Developer's Library (in the JSR-179 implementation notes)

Why not simply use the LocationListener's callback when the terminal position has moved? Just spin off another thread to take this new location, and drill down through your landmarks, and decide which of them are within range using currentCoord.distance(landmark[x]) <= range?

I'm just guessing that after one and a half year he most probably either has given up or he has found a solution
