[amit.rathi1982]

Hi,
I tried to run the application on Nokia C5-03 which is one of the GPS enabled device. But when it try to get the longotude/latitude it throws exception- "location request timed out ".

The coe I am using given below:

public static String checkLocation() throws Exception {
String string = "not found";
try {
Location l;
LocationProvider lp;
Coordinates c;
Criteria cr = new Criteria();
cr.setHorizontalAccuracy(500);
lp = LocationProvider.getInstance(cr);
l = lp.getLocation(60);
c = l.getQualifiedCoordinates();
if (c != null) {
// Use coordinate information
double lat = c.getLatitude();
double lon = c.getLongitude();
string = lat + "-" + lon;
} else {
string = "Location API failed";
}
System.out.println("location=" + string);
//display.setCurrentItem(new StringItem("lat/lon", string));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("exception in check location=" + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
return e.getMessage();
}
return string;
}

Please Help !

Hi,
Is it possible to get the date and time by Location api?
Actually I dont want to use system date time as it can be changed manually by user. So I want to use any server time that should not be controlled by end user.

Please help me.
Realy apreciate any suggestion.
Thanks..

Just make a system HTTP call to any server in the response from server you will get date and time

Thanks buddy.

One quick question: Can I get latitude/Longitude by using GPS but without active internet connection.

Thanks..

Yes it is possible without GPRS but most phones connect to internet to take advantage of A-GPS

Hi,

I am testing my application on Remot Device provided by Nokia Forum. But still it is throwing the same exception.

I think the remote device must at any center location, and I am just using remotly that device , So I think it should return the latitude of the location where it is placed?

Please verify me. Ill be very thank full to you.

Thankssssssss

Hi there Amit,

Yes, E5 has an integrated GPS receiver and also has the assisted A-GPS support.
