I am trying to get the GPS location in a widget application on a blackberry, but the API always returns a latitude and longitude of 0,0.
Simulator: storm 2 (9550)/ bold(9700) and OS: 5.0/5.0
IDE:Eclipse
the html page code as below:
var modeCellsite = 0;
var modeAssisted = 1;
var modeAutonomous = 2;
function locationChanged()
{
alert("Lat " + blackberry.location.latitude +
" Lon " + blackberry.location.longitude +
" Time " + blackberry.location.timestamp );
return true;
}
if ( window.blackberry && blackberry.location.GPSSupported )
{
var isUpdated = false;
var theCount = 0;
alert("Location tracking is supported");
blackberry.location.onLocationUpdate("locationChanged()");
blackberry.location.setAidMode(modeAutonomous);
while ( theCount++ < 10 && !isUpdated )
isUpdated = blackberry.location.refreshLocation();
}
else
{
document.write("Location tracking is not supported");
}
Make sure you turned ON GPS in the SIM before running your widget.
