Location Api error

[kamoo]

Hi everyone,

I'm developing gps application.This application find the users's gps coordinate.But i cant get the points because LocationProvider.getInstance get null.My code is below;

public class GpsLocation
extends Thread
{
private double lat; //lattitude
private double lon; //longtitude
private boolean gpsSupport; //gps destekleniyormu

/** Selected criteria */
private Criteria criteria = null;

/** Selected location provider */
private LocationProvider provider = null;

/**
*Constructor
*/
public GpsLocation()
{
//default values
lat=0;
lon=0;
gpsSupport=false;
//Detect Gps support or not support
if(isLocationApiSupported())
gpsSupport=true;
else
gpsSupport=false;
}

public void run()
{
if(gpsSupport)
checkLocation();
else
AnaMidlet.popUpUyariGoster("GPS desteklenmiyor");
}

public void checkLocation()
{
try
{
Criteria cr = new Criteria();
//cr.setHorizontalAccuracy(500);
cr.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_HIGH);
provider = null;

provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria);
if (provider != null)
{
Location lc=LocationProvider.getLastKnownLocation();
if(lc!=null && lc.isValid()){
QualifiedCoordinates coordinates=lc.getQualifiedCoordinates();
// Location provider found, send a selection event.
if (coordinates != null) {
// Get the latitude and longitude of the coordinates.
lat = coordinates.getLatitude();
lon = coordinates.getLongitude();
AnaMidlet.popUpUyariGoster("Lattitude:"+getLat()+ "Longtitude:"+getLon());
}
else {
AnaMidlet.popUpUyariGoster("Coordinates Null");
}
}
else{
AnaMidlet.popUpUyariGoster("Location Null");
}
}
else
{
AnaMidlet.popUpUyariGoster("Location Provider Null");
}
}
catch(Exception e){
AnaMidlet.popUpUyariGoster("GPS EXCEPTION:"+e.getMessage());
}
}



provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria); this line get null during the application run on my mobile N79..ı know n79 has gps system..My platform is j2me polish and i use eclipse 3.4 ganymede and Sun Wtk 2.5.2..for Any solutions and advice thanks..Kamo

Criteria cr = new Criteria();
//cr.setHorizontalAccuracy(500);
cr.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_HIGH);
provider = null;

provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria);

Well you are instantiating a Criteria variable called cr and afterwards you try to pass a variable to LocationProvider.getInstance() called criteria... spot the difference

Thanks for reply tiger.I see the wrong but i changed criteria object with class variable and the result is same.null

last code for gps class

Have you checked the Wiki article :
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...aining_GPS_fix

try to keep the Criteria as simple as possible, also you are trying to get the lastKnownLocation (LocationProvider.getLastKnownLocation() and I don't know what te result would be if there is no previous known location...
Just read the wiki, implement the LocationListener interface...
You can also try to debug through the Emulator and see when and where you get the exception...

Thanks i'll read and try..
