Application crashes upon launch when used in Europe #2

Closed andygup closed 11 years ago

V1.0 and v1.1 location code only relies on NETWORK_PROVIDER. In certain areas of Europe this functionality may not be available and it will fail silently resulting in your application crashing immediately upon startup. A work-around is in EsriQuickStart under the setLocationListener() method change out NETWORK_PROVIDER TO GPS_PROVIDER and use _locationService.setAllowNetworkLocation boolean to toggle NETWORK_PROVIDER off, and the LocationService isAllowNetworkLocation() to determine if a NETWORK_PROVIDER is even available.

I had the same problem but when I create a new empty project than copy the code from your sample to my new project I have no longer this problem!

Good to know, thanks!

Fixed in v1.2. Library now detects if provider is enabled and (hopefully) switches appropriately.
