Fatal App Crash Because Provider 'network' Does Not Exist

[xee5ch]

I really like the screenshots and the description on F-Droid. I am running on a Moto E XT1521 with Android 6.0.1, using CyanogenMod (13.0-20160519-NIGHTLY-surnia). I downloaded your app with the current stable F-Droid client. Every time I have tried to run the app (full disclosure: I use the Xposed system calll interception framework, along with XPrivacy, but have allowed all system calls in testing), it crashes. Below is the logcat sample.

Judging from reports on other location libraries and with the Genymotion emulator, I assume my customizations might be an issue, but it seems maybe not? XPrivacy does not prompt for network access, and others suggest, the providers must be iterated through instead of directly assuming it is accessible.

Sorry, I am an Android development newbie. Is there anything else I can do to help?

provider doesn't exist: network

It seems that your system doesn't allow network location providers. If you can wait, I'll patch that "soon" (when I have free time)

If you want to have it now, try installing https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=nlp&fdid=com.google.android.gms

[gjedeer]

And if you want to help and know how to build the app from source, you could change

https://github.com/gjedeer/mylocation/blob/master/src/net/mypapit/mobile/myposition/MyLocationActivity.java#L224

and wrap each requestLocationUpdates() call in if's, so that:

if network_location_is_available:
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, time, distance, this);

etc. Where "network_location_is_available" is something you need to find in google API docs - I don't know the actual method name.

Ok, well since you took the time, I will make an effort to learn how to build your app and try to contribute back. That was a rapid and detailed response.

If not this weekend, next weekend. I will get back to you. Thanks for porting this over from Google Code. From screenshots, this is basically the only app that filled a niche I was looking for.

[gjedeer]

Yeah, i was looking for something to fill that niche myself and found this abandoned app.

Anyway, don't feel too obliged to do that ✌

Sorry for the delay. So you're getting the same now too?

[gjedeer]

I've built a version with a possible fix https://f.gdr.name/MyLocationActivity-release.apk

[gjedeer]

@xee5ch any feedback?

[xee5ch]

Ironically downloaded last night. I have not had a chance to test. Maybe this evening?

Tested and it is working for me. You definitely pulled my weight. Thanks for the great app and patiently working on a solution.
