Error on Geolocation

[fonurr]

Hello everybody,

var a= nokia.device.load("geolocation");

works fine when the user permits the program to retrieve "geographic information" but when the user does not permit the program, it gives an "undefined" error. what i would like to do is the following, please help me:

if(the user permits to get "geographic information"){
var a = nokia.device.load("geolocation");
a.getCurrentPosition(...);
}
else{
alert("permission denied");
}

Hi and welcome to forum!

You can use try-catch when loading geolocation service. If loading fails an error is thrown.

/* 
 * Remember to add Platform Services 2.0 lib into your project 
 */
var geolocation_so = null;
	 
/*
 * Initializes geolocation service object
 */
function initGeolocation(){
	
try {
       geolocation_so = nokia.device.load("geolocation");
} 
catch (e) {
       if (e.message == "security access check failed") {
                alert("Access to location service was not granted");
       }
       else {
                alert(e);
       }
   }
}

Thanks for your reply isalento, that's actually what i do to solve the problem, it didn't satisfy me, but i guess it is the only way it could be handled.

You are right, it is not neat way to do it, but should have widest compatibility.

Since Browser 7.3 / WRT 7.3 a new API was introduced where you can query access to all of the needed services at once.

For location you can use following identifier: "Service.Location": "ILocation"
