I am getting an error in the onAddGeofencesResult(int statusCode, String[] geofenceRequestIds) callback with statusCode = 1000 . I have my GPS enabled and my WiFi. I also have Google Play Services and I am able to track my location and request updates. Why am I not able to add geofences? I am not able to add geofences even from the documentation sample app. I get the following Toast message: "Add Geofences: Failure, error code 1000 GeofenceRequestIds=[1,2,1,2]" From the documentation (statusCode 1000): public static final int GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE Geofence service is not available now.

Hi i need to cal an event at onchangelocation(), by comparing current latitude and longitude with some saved latitude and longitude but i m getting an error. eclipse is not recognizing key word distance, and for correction error it is giving hint to crate method "distance" having 4 parameter ... how to fix it??? or some other way to do same work??? thanks and regards. code is attached below @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { double currentLat=location.getLatitude(); double currentLon=location.getLongitude(); if (distance(lat,lon,currentLat,currentLon)<2.0){ //do what

I am trying to get location by using FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation and I've got the location permissions in the manifest file: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> However, I am getting null when I request the location from the system. I was just testing turning off and on location services so it may be related to that (of course, it's ON when I'm trying this). But even after returning null, I'm waiting for onLocationChanged to be called and it's never called. I've also seen a

I am making some tests with the requestLocationUpdates() function from the FusedLocationApi . I am using the PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY . A city block precision is fine for me. When I request the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, I get around a 100m precision which is great with GPS off. As I do not need a GPS precision but a city block precision, I would like to request only the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission. However when I request the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission, I get a 2 km precision. It seems that the device does not use anymore the Wifi permission and only a cell tower

I am new to Android and I am trying to develop an Android app which shows current location of the user. I am using Genymotion. Now I am using mLocation=LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(mGoogleClient); to get the last location of the device. The thing is I wanted to get the current location but with this I get mlocation as not null that's fine. But in the map it shows last location of the device always not the current location. code snippet @Override public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) { Log.i(TAG, "inside onconnected Location services connected"); Location mLocation=null;

I have read a lot of Q&As on this topic here on SO but I have to say that none of them works. My problem is that, even though I have GPS enabled, I cannot get a location unless I open Google Maps and get my location and then go back to the app, which is definitely not an option for the users. I have the following function to get the location. public Location getCurrentLocation() { LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) context .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true); Location
